A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

At our house, at our age, we’ve come to the point of down sizing, trying to make things more manageable and to live more simply. And this year our Christmas decorations are less glitz and glitter and more basic. We put up a small pre-lit tree and decorated it with just our favorite ornaments; the rest will be donated along with the outside lights that neither of us are willing to hassle with. A cheerful wreath on the door and a less decorated mantle is enough cheer for us. As today’s rain washes away any trace of a White Christmas, we will still be glad and have ourselves a Merry Little Christmas.

From our house to yours, and to all our family and friends, who are the best part of life, we wish all of you,

A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I'M HOME, SO LET IT SNOW

It's been snowing lightly but steadily since early this morning. It's predicted to get worse toward evening so I'll stay put for the rest of the day. I was out  this morning clearing the snow off the deck and my car and it felt pretty cold on my hands and feet. The roads were OK and I took a drive with a friend to Athens for the Victorian Stroll. Things weren't starting till around one o'clock and we thought it best to head home before the roads became hazardous. It's good to be home where it is safe and warm. If your heading out today, bundle up and be cautious on the roads.
