a visit to my parents' is not complete without a stroll through my old neighborhood. i love to see houses that have been rejuvenated since my last visit ~ as well as watch new ones fill in the few available lots.

| a more classic Cameron Park house |
 |
| the balmy weather has flowers all confused |
 |
| but the moss is enjoying the rain! |
 |
| the cobblestones that lead back home |
 |
| jiggedy-jig! |
some people have a Christmas chair;
my mother has a Christmas sink.

we happened to time our visit with the night a long-time family friend had her annual carol-sing. sincere choristers, exuberant instrumentalists, and dessert-before-dinner was a winning combination!
 |
| the carolers |
then we returned to Mom & Dad's
for a beautiful & delicious dinner-after-dessert.

such a short visit!
we'll come back soon :)
Merry Eve of Christmas Eve!
