The Old Tattered Flag

A few of my favorite things....

It's a simple blog really....my favorite things.  I don't know what it is about Christmas that just makes everything more special.  The way you see things with a different eye.  Well, I also got a new camera.  In my next life I would love to be a photographer, or a graphic designer, or this or that, you are never too old to dream or reinvent yourself, right?.  Anyway, here are some things around the house seen through the lens of my new camera....and yes, they are my favorite things...

 I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes everything just a little bit more special but it just does and I'm happy to embrace those things.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a Very happy and healthy New Year.

Until next time.....

About Me

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my blog. I am married and just entering the second phase of my life as a Army retiree's wife. My husband and I did 25+ years in the Army. He is now officially a retired Colonel and has just entered the civilian workforce and I am happily settled in our 1830 Stone house. I (along with my Mom) operate www.theoldtatteredflag and currently we are building a small shop in the back part of the house. We live in Northern NY, right near the Canadian border. I have two handsome sons and 2 puggles. Life is busy for us, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
