First Christmas Party 2009

This past Sunday was a great day at Haywood House. The house was all a buzz with stirring, mixing, decorating and food, friends and family. Thanks Mom and Dad, Mary, Feliet, Ben and all of the special friends that took time from busy schedules to stop in for a little holiday hospitality. The hit was the sausage dip and the White Christmas Punch.

A special thanks goes out to G. Capel for the most special and appropriate gift. It was an old photograph of the Haywood House from the fifties as well as an original artwork piece that was painted by Louise Haywood. She spoke fondly of where the painting used to hang and wanted it back in the house. Ms. Haywood loved children (very fitting for my parents as they do also) and this is a painting of a little girl drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. It will be returned to the walls of Haywood House in its original state. Hope everyone has a great holiday. Thanks also to the Capel Store gang for my gift of the edible birdhouse. It will provide many special days of enjoyment to the birds in the neighborhood.
