with love from...

I am happy to show you this photo of the Christmas wreath which I found on my door when we arrived here a few days ago. A gift from my dear friends Nancy & Bill, it is now covered with snow and serves as a friendly holiday greeting to all!

Snow on New Year's Eve...

We are having a beautiful snowstorm today on Cape Cod. The wind is blowing and the snow is falling...what more could one ask for on the last day of the year?!?! It's been a good day so far...G went to his day-hab program for a few hours, I enjoyed coffee with a neighbor at the beach, and we are now tucked safely in our home for the duration of the storm.

G and I join together in wishing you a very happy new year... one of hope, promise and fulfillment!

Just hangin' out...

G and I are on the cape for this week between Christmas and New Year's. We will see in 2009 from the warmth and coziness of our Cape Cod home, with maybe a mini bottle of champagne (for me) and some chocolate milk for him! The weather has been cold and windy and the surf is wild...not the best time to walk the beach, but a quick visit each day sure does lift the spirits.

The Twelve Days of Christmas - 1, 2 & 3

I am among many who like to think of the Christmas song The Twelve Days of Christmas as a song of Christian instruction, perhaps dating to the 16th century religious wars in England, with hidden references to the basic teachings of the Christian Faith. (Read more about this by clicking this link.)
Over the next several days, I will post ATCs I have created to represent these teachings ...

Christmas Day

Wishing you a merry and blessed Christmas!
