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!
                                                    ~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

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

Today December 20th is our oldest
Grand~Daughter Taylor Lynn's 10th
Birthday she was and is the Best
Christmas Present we could ever receive.
Happy Birthday My Christmas Angel.

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.

are right in order and bring you
much Happiness & Joy 
for Christmas is a Season, and
a State of Mind as much as it is a Day. 
EnJoy !!
Sending you Best Holiday Wishes,
Blessings & Warm Hugs
