Merry Christmas 2014

Let's be honest, when all is said and done there is always a Christmas gift that is your favorite.  We are not supposed to admit it but it is true.....and I am going public. Here are pics of my very favorite gifts this year.

                                              Happy New Year and blessings to all!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!!

Life is not always what you would expect it to be.....at 63, I am happier and healthier than I thought I would be, I cherish life and celebrate everything more than I thought I would and I love more deeply and am more grateful than I knew was possible.  We truly made it a weekend of celebration this year.  Not all of it was purely birthday but holiday festivities abound.  Thursday night John and I had dinner at Boston's Fish house, which was wonderful as always followed by The Morse Museum/Winter Park Christmas Concert.  I was a beautiful evening... Friday we attended Guys and Dolls, a Solivita event, and enjoyed Carrot Cake with Candy and Darryl and friends.  Saturday my Vine women's group in Solivita went to the Barn in Lake Alfred for our Christmas luncheon.  Sandy LaBram, my long time dearest friend join us for lunch and stayed for the weekend.  That evening we went to Celebration to see the flurry of soap bubbles a.k.a snow flurries while we enjoyed peppermint ice cream. These are just a few of my favorite things......  I am so blessed!!
