E/Alphabe-Thursday

 EXOTIC gingerbread house, George Eastman House, Rochester

This is one of dozens of gingerbread houses on display from Thanksgiving through December 12th. Various community groups decorated the houses, which were sold by silent auction to raise funds for further restorations of the Eastman House.

    Hi Ms. T.G. ~~ We took our three-year-old granddaughter riding though the neighborhood tonight to see the lights. One family had a very large ginerbread house in their fron yard. It was a 'shack' compared to your exotic one. :)
