Capital Hotel’s Christmas Tree

Jeff and I had just finished driving through Sherwood’s Enchanted Forest “A Trail of Holiday Lights” when I suggested seeing a 24-foot tall Christmas Tree with a bazillion lights in Little Rock.  Somehow, I knew he’d be game for it.

This historic hotel is, in a word, stately.  It’s easy to why too:  the crown moldings + columns (I :heart; ’em!) + stained-glass ceiling in the center of the lobby = impressive.  (Their website has amazing photos).  It’s easily one of the best hotel lobbies I’ve been in.  No doubt in my mind dignitaries would love this hotel.

Stay tuned for desserts I celebrated the New Year with.

I'm trying to get back into posting more here. I guess you could say I've been distracted. Since late February, I've been reading everything I can about COVID-19 (from reputable news sites like CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, and tweets from medical professionals). This virus is a monster. From what was initially a virus that was detrimental to the older population is now affecting children and young adults as well. It is no longer a respiratory illness, but one whose symptoms can vary and be just as deadly. The scary part is there is no standard treament or vaccine yet so the best thing hubs and I can do is be prepared. Early on (late Feb), we bought extra cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper (LOL). In March, I bought everything I needed to make fabric masks (i.e. sewing machine & gadgets, cotton fabrics, non-woven interfacing for the middle layer, thread, rotary cutter, etc). The following month, I started sewing. The pattern I used called for 7" elastic loop for each mask but that wasn't gonna work universally 'cause hubby required a larger size and I needed smaller. So for everyone else who wanted a mask, I cut the elastic (shown here) so they can adjust the fit to their liking. #fabricmask #3layermask #noseandmouthcovering #pandemictimes #covid19 #thenewnormal #shelterinplace2020 #willwearmaskpubliclyuntiligetvaccinated #germany #igersgermany #germany_insta #ig_germany #rhinelandpfalz #rhinelandpalatinate #rheinlandpfalz
