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…
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…
I want my summer back!
We’ve had such nice warm temperatures but this morning we woke up to this: Not only did we have snow but Chris didn’t park his car parallel to mine. I wasn’t sure if I could go on but I made it through the day. And this was our temperature this morning: Nature is confused. Fall…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 10 “Wrapping Paper”
I haven’t bought wrapping paper in a few years but still seem to have plenty. I also end up with more gift bags after every holiday which I happily reuse. And speaking of reusing, I wrote a blog post for Retro Housewife Goes Green‘s “Green Holiday Blog Carnival” which you can read here. Do…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 9 “Something You’re Reading”
This is one of the books currently on my bedside table. After watching the PBS special, The Dust Bowl, I was eager to read more about it. I well remember my grandmother’s stories about that time – wish I had asked even more questions. My parents are going to come watch it with me and…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 8 “Ornament(s)”
Every year each of us gets a new Christmas ornament in our stocking, usually something from Hallmark. We’ve been married 31 years so that’s a LOT of ornaments. Lisa took hers with her when she got married but we still have a LOT. Several years ago I also started collecting glass ornaments from the Old…
