They are known for cooking for special diets. Since I have Meniere's Disease (an inner ear disorder), I can't eat salt. The chef came out and discussed menu options. Can you believe that? He is German, so I spoke to him auf Deutsch. The food was wonderful.<br /><br />...and yes, it is a "live" Nativity. I'll have a small post about that in a day or so.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-34447122691022354422010-12-23T10:43:59.282-05:002010-12-23T10:43:59.282-05:00Kelly,

You are so fortunate to be able to spend time with your parents. <br /><br />I remember going to the Krohn Conservatory with my parents when I was a child. Kjell and I still visit the Conservatory often, but not this Christmas since we are out here floating around in the Caribbean. Thank you so much for sharing Krohn Christmas with us!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-27576263500326757742010-12-22T22:46:12.613-05:002010-12-22T22:46:12.613-05:00What a lovely time you must have had with your par...What a lovely time you must have had with your parents.

It must be delightful to come in out of the snow and feel like you have been transported to the tropics. <br /><br />Here there was a solstice celebration on Saturday in downtown Fairbanks (a much tinier downtown than Cincinnati), but we do get very excited that we no longer are losing daylight. The weather forecast always includes how many minutes we have lost or gained from the day before, and now we will be hearing about minutes gained!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801967071649685995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-79149838269524386482010-12-22T01:26:49.580-05:002010-12-22T01:26:49.580-05:00...the poinsettia "tree" is really just ......the poinsettia "tree" is really just stacks and stacks of poinsettia plants in pots put together to form a tree.
