Best Wishes at Christmas and for a Happy New Year

Christmas came and went and I wasn't around to compute!  So a Merry Christmas to everyone...a little late.
and Happy New Year early.  The year 2009 passed by so quickly! The older one gets the faster time flies.
As a child we said "how much longer?" Now it's "where did it go?" I had a wonderful Christmas with all my
family together....hope yours was wonderful and blessed as well. We had so much food to eat and we ate a lot of it! Boy, was it ever good. Enough left overs for several days...but that's okay...no cooking..only warming things up to enjoy again. 
Will try to get back into the routine again and do more posting regularly...so be on the look out

Smiles and Blessings to you all.

2009 Noles Tree!

This topper is a decal I've had for years and never put it on my car! Now it is the topper on my Christmas tree.
This years tree didn't really come together until the day we put it up. I had a brilliant idea! This year we are
garnet and gold! Go Seminoles.

Gold glittered snowflake on the garnet and gold tree.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Friends!
Smiles and Blessings, Nancy

December 1, 2009

Today is December 1st! can you believe it? This year is quickly coming to a close! Another year just around the corner! Christmas is fast approaching! Still have some decorating and shopping to do. I have four great-grandchildren this year..and you know what that means? Lots of fun! Kids are what really helps make the holidays festive! Enjoy December and Christmas! Love your kids and family members and make some more beautiful memories.

This has been a great year for me. A new ggrandchild probably tops the list. He is amazing. As are his bros and his sis. There are so many wonderful things to remember and be grateful for in 2009. You all have your
lists, so I won't elaborate.

Smiles and Blessings dear friends!

Pine Cone Lily

I was introduced to a new flower over the Thanksgiving holiday.  It is a Pine Cone Lily.  It is a tuber, grows on a very fleshy stem with narrow, long green foliage and has a rather sweet aroma.  The Pine Cone itself is very heavy and is squishy with lots of water; if you squeeze it you will get sprayed!
The pale bluish-lavendar flowers are Hydrangea.

Goodwill Christmas Shop

Some of the ornaments I bought at the Goodwill Christmas Shop. Friday everything was 50% off..

I bought two bags full of red ornaments. My tree might be all red this year!

The Day After

It's the day after Thanksgiving and I am still full!!!!  Could probably go the rest of the week without eating! As I have consumed a weeks worth of calories...but it sure was good. My son-in-law is making some Turkey soup today, so that will be our dinner with left overs.  YUMYum..

I have been out shopping on "Black Friday", however, I did not do the midnight things nor the early am sales. I made  it to Target about ten. Found what I wanted so maybe it was luck.  It's good to get some more Christmas shopping done. Kinda gets you in the Christmas spirit when you are out in the crowds and hearing Christmas music and seeing  Christmas decorations. We are actually in the city!!!
