The angle of this photo makes the angel look smaller than it is but we really could use a larger one. I made the bow many, many years ago and if you look closely you’ll see a clear lucite ornament just under the bow. It says, “First Christmas Together 1981”. It has hung near the…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 19 “Candy Canes”
I stuck these organic candy canes from the Natural Candy Store in the cups *before* I poured in the boiling water which explains why they are so short – they had melted by the time I could get out my phone to take the picture. And this is totally unrelated to the photo challenge but I…
Cleaning house video – After
Here’s the “after” video: Now I need to get back to work. I’m cleaning and putting up the rest of the Christmas decorations and then I have an appointment with my chiropractor later this afternoon. Oh, how I hope he can fix my neck!
Cleaning house video – Before
A couple of weeks ago I decided to make before and after cleaning videos and uploaded them to YouTube. And then I never got around to sharing them here. The first thing I noticed when I watched on YouTube was that I should have turned my phone sideways. Oh, well. So here’s the “before”: Right…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 18 “Stocking”
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”
David and I went to a benefit concert last night and didn’t get home until almost 2 a.m. so that is why “Day 15” is late. I love lots of Christmas music but I’d have to say that my favorite is “O Holy Night”. Oftentimes one of our church soloists will sing this at our…
