A celebratory weekend with JB and friends in Provincetown. There are both person made and natural decorations all around in this coastal community. We are doing everything and nothing at our leisure.
Another achievement in my holiday list of seeing, doing, and sharing with special people and places.
I am still grateful. I hope this may be true for you too.

I am just crazy enough to adore the house with all the lights on it - lol. And your decorations are so lovely. I'm enjoying this time, and I know you are, too! xox
ReplyDeleteThe house was almost unbelievable, Pam. I took a dozen pictures of it.
DeleteI'm glad you're enjoying xo

I am always trying to hold back on decorations at our house. Less is more, I believe. But, my daughter is insistent, so I will give in until she leaves for college and then I fear that I will be a true scrooge and be lucky to have a tree every year!
ReplyDeleteMaria, as you've found out, you just need someone else to put u and take down.
DeleteThe take down is the worse

"I am still grateful. I hope this may be true for you too."
ReplyDeleteBah, humbug, I deserve more, more, MORE, always more, more, MORE, ever so much more, more, MORE, and I won't show a smidgen of gratitude until I have IT ALL. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Real men are never grateful, ha, ha, ha.
okay snow, i have put in a request order to the universe on your behalf. i hope you have room in your yard for it all. i hope you won't have to pay for storage somewhere.
Deleteand i hope you are feeling better by the time you read this, if only a little. been thinking of you xo

Sounds like I'm in for a Hallmark Christmas, what with being a crotchety old man who is really a sweetheart underneath, but has hidden it ever since his wife was killed by a drunk driver while on her way to deliver pianos to an orphanage for deaf kids .
DeleteGood thing you 've survived that drama with your crotchetiness intact, snow :-)
DeleteI read that there was a plan to replace the undelivered pianos but the orphanage wouldn't hear of it
:-)
I am content enough in your happiness.
ReplyDeletemark, a sweet sweet comment. be careful: your softness comes through loud and clear sometimes :^) happy holidays my friend. and just so you know, i fake this gratitude and joy until i make it. i'm tired of being heavy hearted in life.

I always do love Snows comments.
ReplyDeleteI AM grateful - every day, yet am often still cranky - how does that work?
love the lights - in brooklyn there are lights and more lights and even more as everyone outdoes the other person - it's great. in stow....we are "tasteful". Boo!!!
mim, i am cranky too, see my above comment to walking man. life, the world, the times: they are complicated. we do our best xoxo
Deletei love lights. tonight i will put white candle lights in the windows. maybe this weekend we will string lights on our fence.
and i hope i will see my friend mim sometime soon because she is a shining light too

Kj, Looks like you are ready and having fun. I have been sick, so not much into the Christmas spirit, seems to be coming too fast and soon. No cards made or sent out this year, so I will say it here, I hope you have a most wonderful Holiday!
ReplyDeleteI am most grateful for recovery and dear friends that I will be spending the holidays with.
Wishing you the very best. xoxo
Annie, gosh I hope you feel better. I know you have good friends who will raise their glasses with you. I think it's been a tough year all around and I'll be glad to welcome 2014 xo
