My New Year Wish for You...

My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.

A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.

I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.

By Joanna Fuchs
To all my friends around the world have a very happy and healthy New Year 2014. May all your wishes and dreams come true!

From my house to yours...

Christmas at the Vintage Store

Festive decorations at the vintage store.

Are you done already decorating your house?

No tree for us this year, we are keeping it simple.

Lots of other decorations though.

Have a look at my friend Kay's tree.

She always has a beautiful vintage one.

Let Christmas not become a thing
Merely of merchant's trafficking,
Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
And surface pleasure, but beneath
The childish glamour, let us find
Nourishment for soul and mind.
Let us follow kinder ways
Through our teeming human maze,
And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer's martyrdom.

Amaryllis and Winter Berries

 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go.

Trees, wreaths and mistletoe.

Winter berries are my favorite.

I have all my Christmas shopping done.

How about you?

Going to go and see Philomena the movie this weekend.

Looking forward to it.

There are a few more good movies out right now, that I want to see.

I don't go to the movies often, I prefer to read, but one does make exceptions for great movies.

Books I am reading right now

The Glass Castle and Half Broke Horses

by Jeannette Walls.

Wonderful books!

Staying up late to read.
