Hi All,
Last Monday had my camera with me and Jeff Minor shown below was up on the ladder in balmy 40 degree weather. He had two things in mind. He is headed for Florida after Thanksgiving, so the decorating has to get done before he leaves and then of course there are also lots of Christmas Wreaths to get made up to hold over while he is on vacation.

Jeff starts off with a roll of ribbon making sure every loop is just perfect

He then attaches the ribbon to the wreath

Jeff purchases the wreath itself from someone up in Newport where they hire individuals in the Correctional Institution to make them.
Jeff was going to work all day Tuesday making additional wreaths and I told him I would be down and get some pictures of them. Now for those of you that live up in this area, you know that the driving was not the best last evening, so my car stayed right in the garage. I will try to get down at a later time and get some more photos of Jeff's handiwork.
