Merry Christmas!

Good evening all!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is a week away. What a joyous time of year. A time to spend with family and friends and enjoy time spent with them. A time to reflect on Jesus and the reason for the season. I want to wish you & your families a very Merry, Safe, Happy Christmas!

Summer Storm - a few more pics

Summer Storm

Good evening everyone!

Do you love summer storms (as long as they're not too scary - eg) tornadoes)? I do! Tonight we had one that was quite impressive! Huge black clouds with thunder and lightning and some hail. The hail first started as small marble size and hard but quickly turned to smaller softer hail - thank goodness!

If you are in the storm's path, stay safe!

Enjoy these pics!

Memory Poem

Hi everyone,

It's been about 5 1/2 months since my Mom passed away and 13 1/2 months since my Uncle Mark passed away. Some days are still really difficult. Tonight I found this quote that I want to share with you:

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where our loved ones look down to let us know they are happy.

I love that. I think I will use it on a scrapbook page soon.

What poems, quotes, etc. inspire you or just "fit"?

I'd love to hear from you!
