Close to 20 years ago I bought four of these handmade stockings at a little shop here in town which isn’t around anymore. You can’t tell from the photo but it’s really big. When Lisa married Justin I took one of these stockings with me to a fabric store and since I couldn’t find anything…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 17 “Presents”
My Christmas shopping is essentially done but I’m waiting until the last orders arrive before wrapping anything. I like to do it in one fell swoop. Fortunately for this photo challenge, these three little gifts arrived in the mail today. Perfect timing!

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 16 “Christmas Lights”
This is a shot of our lights taken while standing on the balcony. The thing hanging in the middle is a wind chime. And now I’m caught up again. I’d write more but I’m working on our annual Christmas letter. I used to always have them ready to mail right around Thanksgiving but somehow that…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 15 “Favorite Christmas Song”

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 14 “Christmas Tree”
I finally got the last of the ornaments on the tree this evening. I started putting the tinsel on but since I insist on doing it one strand at a time, it takes awhile!
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 13 “Family”
I rarely want my picture taken but I asked David to take this of my mom and me tonight. We had gone to the McSwain Theater to see “It’s a Wonderful Life”, my favorite Christmas movie. I love what Clarence the angel inscribes in the copy of “Tom Sawyer” at the end of the movie:…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 12 “A Beautiful Sight”
We are blessed to have the beautiful Wintersmith Park here in our little town. Even without leaves on the trees it was gorgeous today.
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 11 “Green”
Red and green are the traditional Christmas colors and I’m pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas. I do, however, use more of a burgundy rather than bright red, in part because I have burgundy velvet drapes in the family room. And we have dark green carpet so the room is well-suited for Christmas. I…
