| Mrs Fritz, der Alte Fritz and our hounds, Bella the Golden Retriever and Angie the Doggie (Black Lab mix) wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. |
Best wishes to all of my blog readers and followers for a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday Season and a Happy 2026.
I am grateful for all of the support that this blog and I get from my readers. It seems that at every war game convention several people will introduce themselves to me as blog followers and they tell me how much they enjoy this site, especially as they follow the progress of the various projects that I do, from start to finish. It is always great to meet you in person.
I hope that everyone got the present that they wanted and that you were surrounded by family and good friends.
Mrs. Fritz and I attended church service last evening at the local Episcopal Church and wow do they put on quite a spectacular show. The building is a stone structure that looks like something one would see in the English countryside.
It is laid out in the form of a cross with the alter at the intersection of the cross. The high roof is supported by lots of exposed wooden beams that give it an Old World charm. The picture below gives you a sense of how the interior looks, although it does not show the two seating areas to the right and the left of the central alter.
Add in lots of pagentry ( I refer it to "Roman Catholic Lite") and red poinsettia flowers and you can't help but feel the Christmas Spirit.
