Merry Christmas ~~

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

The days are short and the last preparations

are being made to greet Christmas Day.

As I move from task to task I am ever mindful

and grateful of all our Blessings ..........

Our cozy cabin in the woods,

the warmth & comfort we enjoy from the

 fires we have burning,

the meals I have  planned,

the many desserts I have baked

and the  family & friends that are with us

always in good times & in bad.

Wishing All of You, My Dear Friends

A Blessed Merry Christmas

Filled with Love, Laughter, & Joy

May You find a renewal of Faith & Hope

May You be Surrounded by Those You Love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 May Your Heart & Home

Be Filled with the True Spirit of Christmas

Good Cheer

At Christmas Play and make Good Cheer,

For Christmas comes but once a Year. 

 ~~ Thomas Tusser 

The cold as finally set in ..... we wait with anticipation

for the snow to come ... for nothings says

Christmas as a blanket of white. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tree is up, the greens in place and
the cabin smells delightful . 
Smells, Sights, Sounds
a magical time of year.
~~~~~~~~
Most of the shopping is done .... so now

its on to wrapping & baking two of my favorite

things to do no matter what time of year. 

I was very lucky my DH had taken out a two year
warranty on my camera so I was covered
for the last mishap ... they actually found
they couldn't fix it, so
I will received a brand new camera.
This was all done at

Best Buy with the Geek Squad.  

I'm most Happy.  :-)

I cant believe how many times I

have reach for the camera to remember

Dang I don't  have it.  
I don't claim to have any talent in  the photography
department but I do tend to see ... all around me

things  that make me think Wow, how Neat
or how Beautiful what a great photo that would make.
Plus how can anyone have Sweet Grands and
not think ..... I must have that shot. lol
I have been totally lost with out it.
