With it's festive lights and ornaments the size of dinner plates, it tries but can't quite manage, the effect of a real tree.

But you're right about the program being suspended. An update on their facebook page said: <br /><br />"We have yet to receive any new information regarding the reasons for the interruption, but we will continue to seek those answers and provide more information as it becomes available. Our programs at other locations continue to operate as usual."<br /><br />They do a lot of good work, and there is no doubt they are truly making a difference. --Unlike the politicians in Washington right now. ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-31835807624104739342017-11-17T02:50:04.141+01:002017-11-17T02:50:04.141+01:00A double orange whammy today: the ending of the do...A double orange whammy today: the ending of the dog/wounded warrior program and the reversal of the ruling prohibiting animal trophies from being brought into the US.

Is there no compassion for the poor souls who will lose their companion?<br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-36190015886016036232017-11-16T09:58:46.258+01:002017-11-16T09:58:46.258+01:00Maybe they'll direct one of those light show d...Maybe they'll direct one of those light show devices on the concrete tree.<br />I saw a Starbucks in Marseille. And one on the Grand Place in Brussels. It had a line out the door. The coffee is good, but so is the coffee at the gorgeous old bars around the place, some of which have fireplaces. Why stand in line at Starbucks? We don't have Starbucks but do have "Columbus Coffee," which does a brisk business in the Carrefour centre commercial. Again, the coffee is fine, but it is at the cafés in town, too.Taste of Francehttp://francetaste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-26221710220632290382017-11-16T09:37:21.302+01:002017-11-16T09:37:21.302+01:00the old farmer needs to decorate the tree with his...the old farmer needs to decorate the tree with his light and Christmas decoration collectionMOPLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638690611368203185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-29530996283628927552017-11-16T08:45:05.755+01:002017-11-16T08:45:05.755+01:00Hari om
