New Year's Eve

Wishing all my 
family and friends
A Happy New Year's Eve.  
May this day lead you into the
best year ever!

Keep Moving Forward

"Around here,
we don't look backwards
for very long...
We keep moving forward,
opening up new doors and
doing new things
because we're curious...
and curosity keeps leading us
down new paths." -Walt Disney

Winter Wonderings

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
  -Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

Being Grateful

Warm and Comfy

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” -Edith Sitwell

Snow Falling

"Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.” -Mary Oliver

Merry Christmas from Our Home to Yours

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

May the sugarplums dance in your head...

Spending the Holidays With Family

 "The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the
presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other." -Burton Hillis

you feel a river moving in you, 
a joy. " ~ Rumi
