A Kerry Christmas Tree

The new wonderful roomate Catie surprised me yesterday.

Kerry and I never really decorated the apartment in Chicago.  We alway saved our efforts for the homestead in Sanibel, which, when finished, would be visible from space.  With Kerry's passing I have had even less desire to commit to holiday decorations up here.

Well, Catie noted the dried roses from the his wake that I kept in vases in the kitchen.  From this she was inspired to do a special Christmas tree, dedicated to Kerry, with rose lights.
It gives off the most beautiful and cozy warm glow.

It was the least I could do and Miss Kitty likes to sleep underneath it. I am all about decorating for the holidays and keep it up til after the new year....then I start to decorate for Valentines day
