Project 365 Week 30

Here are last weeks pictures that I wanted to have posted on Sunday! Due to a little (big) project that I am working on for Christmas, I just did not have time. More on that later...but here is last week in photograph!

Monday, December 7
I LOVE having a swimming pool in my back yard - most of the time!
But when it is below freezing, my hubby is out of town, and I must do the pool maintenance,
I don't like it so much. Putting my hands in that water is just not fun!

Tuesday, December 8
My daughter and I went and had our hair done this evening. Afterward, we went to look at this house. It is really cool...the lights dance to the rhythm of music. Turn your radio on, sit back and relax. So we did! I posted the video below!

Wednesday, December 9
This is my department. We took a photograph to put on a card to give to our doctors.
This is the photo that we selected.

Thursday, December 10
I had so much fun at the pottery class I took in October and November, that I asked my daughter to take a pottery workshop with me to make Christmas ornaments.
She agreed. We had such a good time and here are some of our creations getting ready to
go off to be fired in the kiln. We pick them up in a week! Can't wait!

Friday, December 11
Family Night!
Plus an invite. My friend, Tricia, is brand new to the story of Christmas. She and her son came over for dinner and then we watched to movie, The Nativity.
What fun!

Saturday, December 12
I went to the mall all day on this day and finished my Christmas shopping!
Hooray!
While I was there, I passed Santa...and watched a few photographs taken. It brought back
memories and motivated my Christmas spirit.

Sunday, December 20
Rebecca and I have been very busy working on something.
(it's a secret, but I will reveal it next week!)
Our poor old man dog just doesn't know what to do with himself, so he sleeps, if we are lucky - which we were on Sunday night!

Enjoy!
Oh, and check out the video below!

Peace~

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family. Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old. Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so. He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure. I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia. Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon. But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
