Three Angels

This is the closest thing I have to Christmas decorations. I'm not against the holiday: my husband and I just don't decorate. Saves on cleaning up later. :)

 

When we lived in Connecticut, we had the loveliest neighbors. Dieter and Linda grew up in Germany during WWII--in what became East Germany. Somehow, they managed to be in West Germany at the right time. Dieter trained as a baker, Linda as a seamstress. Eventually, they ended up in Connecticut and owned a very successful bakery. They had long retired by the time we moved in next door. When we moved to California, they gave us this lovely little set of angels, which came from Germany.

 

Dieter and Linda are some of the best people you could get to know. And not just for the baked goods.

 

Happy Holidays to all my Flickr friends! Because of the upcoming holidays, I will be off and on Flickr--probably more off. So take care, and I will catch up in the New Year!
