The Last Ruby Tuesday for 2008!
I took this in Solvang, California in the Fall of 2007.

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007 to 2015 hostage and has replaced them all with ugly black and grey boxes asking for a ransom to have them re-published. Such a frustrating bother as I go through each post to delete the ugly boxes.
Today we enjoyed Dear’s last day in the Seattle area with a trip to Molbaks in Woodinville, Washington to see all their beautiful Christmas poinsettias and displays. The photo in front of the Poinsettia tree is of Dear, our daughter Katie and me, ellen b. We are looking forward with anticipation celebrating Christmas with our family and friends.

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and demanding a ransom for me to access them. I’m slowly cleaning up many of my posts where PB have added ugly black and grey boxes where my photos used to be. So frustrating!
This is an outdoor mall in Thousand Oaks, California that was getting their holiday decorations up a couple weeks ago.
A very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here in the U.S.A. on Thursday. To the rest of the world have a great last week of November!

These postcards are all from the early 1900’s. They were all sent to Dear’s Great, great Aunt Emma. She really enjoyed getting postcards and her friends and family made sure to send her one on any special occassion.

My heritage is Russian and I have a collection of Russian Keepsakes around my home. This is one of my Matryoshka Nesting Dolls that my mother and father bought in Russia a few years back.
A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which can be pulled apart to reveal another figure of the same sort inside. It has, in turn, another figure inside, and so on. The number of nested figures is usually five or more. The shape is mostly cylindrical, rounded at the top for the head and tapered towards the bottom, but little else; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted). Traditionally the outer layer is a woman, dressed in a sarafan. Inside, it contains other figures that may be of both genders, usually ending in a baby that does not open. The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate.
Matryoshkas are often designed to follow a particular theme, for instance peasant girls in traditional dress, but the theme can be anything, from fairy tale characters to Soviet leaders.

Well here’s hoping this Tuesday will be a true Ruby Tuesday. Sorry Blue, I couldn’t resist. Please don’t judge me too harshly even though I’m NOT for the blue candidate :0) He’s not my Obi wan kenobe!
I thought these Maker’s Mark Bottles were great!
More Ruby for today. These pulls are at one of our favorite eateries here in town. Now see that upper right ale in my collage. It is called Arrogant B*****d Ale. My blog is rated G so I’ll leave it at that. But it seems like an appropriate ale to celebrate the end of all the political rhetoric we’ve been subjected to these last several months.

Decided to go with the Autumn theme again this week for Ruby Tuesday. We’ve got the pumpkin patch, my Turkey Cookie creation (hee, hee) and one of the happy ghosts from my string of lights for Halloween.
Have a great Tuesday everyone and if you’d like to see more Ruby Tuesday visit Mary here.
If it’s Monday it must be time for Ruby Tuesday! The Teach wanted us to find our Ruby in Halloween Decorations this week. Here’s what I found. Some of the red is harder to see but there is red in all of these…
