My in-laws did that when they lived in a small mobile home in Florida. When it's inside, there's lots of room under the table for presents
Outside? I've never seen that around here and PA is between VA and MA

Today has been a day of baking. Chocolate cupcakes filled with homemade caramel with marshmallow meringue frosting, and a sour cream apple pie is baking.

I'm glad to read that you had a good timeIt's good to be home. My relatives with the exception of my sister are all lovely people. We got to spend time with some of them and spent the next day at Costco and a movie. It was a sock purchase day at Costco. We showed remarkable restraint, and brought home a lot of socks.
Beagle is very thankful to be back sleeping in her sunbeam. She's exhausted after bullying the heck out of her 75 pound canine cousin and being tortured by BIL's overweight Siamese cat.

Did you check for the cotton panties at Costco?
I made http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f21/danish-red-cabbage-r-dk-l-roedkaal-69012.html#post948219. I used the new food processor to slice the cabbage. Wow! That was quick. But, bits of cabbage got into every nook and cranny of the lid, the bowl and the slicing blade. It was still quick, even counting clean up time. It did leave more pieces big than I would have liked. I didn't worry too much about the ones that weren't huge, since this batch will be just for me and Stirling. If I am making it for guests, I will probably slice the cabbage using the mandolin. It will take a little bit longer, but there won't be as many big pieces and they will be easier to spot, so I can slice them by hand.
Did you get the ones with lace or the ones with French cut leg holes? Or maybe that's TMI.Thanks Taxy! Yes, I found them! Gray and black 6 pack, they ARE nice!
I washed 'em with the socks.

Just relaxing, after getting the mammoth tree up and "fluffing" all the branches. Unfortunately this pre-lit 12 ft tree had a couple of un-lit branches after we got it set up, so DH had to fill in a couple of dark spots with extra lights. Now, the decorating can begin, but I don't have anymore oomph tonight so there is always tomorrow and the rest of next week......not looking forward to 700 trips up and down the 10 ft ladder Why do I do this to myself lol!
So nice of him to stop & help, sounds like he was raised right! Hope it all turns out well.I just got off the phone with The Pirate. He was right behind an accident on I93 and stopped. An 18 wheeler clipped a car, spun it around and it flew into a concrete abutment. The driver was hurt, but the elderly woman in the back was in bad shape. She had been pushed down under the back of the front seat. The Pirate had to force doors open to get to her. He said you could see she had a broken hip. A nurse showed up and between them and others that stopped got her stabilized. She had a nasty gash on her head and asked someone for a clean white napkin. Then gave them instructions on how to open it without contamination. There is more to the story, but he kept her from going into shock by demanding a man give over his coast to keep her warm. When the FD arrived they complimented him. The stupid State Trooper came back with the remark, "At least you don't have any outstanding warrants." Two women seriously hurt and they are worried about warrants? They never did offer to help with the victims, only the accident and how it happened. And if my son had any outstanding warrants. Sounds about right for our State Police. Gotta get that collar no matter what! The female Statie didn't like it when the local cop told her to get out of the way, she wasn't helping the victims any. And then they wonder why folks don't like to get involved. Both victims were air lifted to a hospital in Boston. And a couple for the victims.
