east wing

 he said it wouldn't be touched...

The East Wing as it once was and will be no more after Trump's demolition crew set to demolishing it for the abomination of a ballroom.

 and because this isn't all about subways

great lakes lights

 

It's annoying that the cancel cancels out the names of these lighthouses.  One for each of the Great Lakes is shown.  Left to right: Lake Superior's Split Rock; Lake Michigan's St Joseph; Lake Huron's Spectacle Reef; Lake Erie's Marblehead; Lake Ontario's Thirty Mile Point

gingerbread

 

I managed to buy these Christmas stamps before the post office went on strike, but have not had a chance to use them. They went on strike Nov 15 ... update: they are back! and mail is moving.

Anyway, these gingerbread houses are different from the ones the USPS issued in 2013.  Ours feature a birdhouse (Canada), a doghouse (US), and a barn (International)

red

 

the male cardinal is a bright spot in winter, especially where I live when most of the colourful birds have moved south

red is a popular colour for mailboxes in many countries

and decorators often suggest a pop of red somehere n a room, so this red chair would be welcome

plus a bonus red envelope for your Christmas cards
