OMG, girl!!! That pie safe is to die for, and for it to be a family heirloom is just over the top.
What a glorious sunrise. The pie safe looks to be in wonderful condition. Wow, what a prize. Enjoy all the holiday baking...I've got to get started!!
Beautiful pie safe! I can't imagine ever baking that many pies.....
We always had an advent calendar when my kids were little, plus nightly advent devotionals. That made Christmas!
The pie safe is gorgeous! So was your sunrise. And I think I need to follow your lead on jogging too!
