To Beverly and all her many friends at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog. Looking forward to being a part of your world throughout the New Year 2017.

Thought this was so sweet.  It is very simple but shows a lot of love. Make a pledge for 2017 to take

Time is

Too slow for those who wait,

Too slow for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who love,

Time is not.

(Henry Van Dyke)

Blue Monday

After a visit from Santa, we need to go to backyardneighbor.typepad.com and see what he delivered. However, the weather in Texas made it hard on the reindeer.  It was 70 degrees, Christmas Day.

This image says it all about Texas. 

Anything Goes Pink Saturday

Nothing like sharing Christmas with Beverly and friends.  Since this is the day before Santa comes, let's go to http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog and enjoy the pretty things others share.

Merry Christmas everyone.  Enjoy the day, but be careful.

Special Swedish Package

This is the card included in my package.  It is a real steam train wheeler from a railway museum.  During this time of the year they offer Christmas trips to the public.

There are many, many bloggers more popular than me.  However, there a few I have bonded with. One is a dear lady in Sweden, AnnA. I had a very nice surprise from her last week. She has blessed me several times with little treasures from her world.

She is a lady of many talents. She is an artist and avid gardener. Lots of beautiful flowers and arrangements.

This is a painting of her English Summer Roses.

The little cardboard church was from a banking business many, many years ago.  I liked it and kept it along with others all these years.

The little characters represent a typical Swedish Christmas.  One is Lucia Maid, Candle Boy, Christmas Boy and small Gingerbread Boy. December 13,they have the Lucia Day in Sweden.

Outdoor Wednesday

 Best wishes to Susan and all her many Outdoor Wednesday participates. This time of the year, so many beautiful nature sights around.  In fact, you will see some of the best at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com

 Just think this time next week, Christmas will be over.  No doubt many pretty things will be shared today at
backyardneighbor.typepad.com. Stop by,wish our hostess, Jeanne, who is doing a super job, a blessed and Merry Christmas. It is not easy filling shoes.

The red ones, to me, are the traditional, but now days you see them in different colors.

This is the first I have ever seen in blue.  It was really pretty tho.

 This little boot and Santa belonged to my mother.  I have kept them all these many, many years.  In mint condition and one of my special treasures filled with memories. Santa's little red light burns bright every night.

Skywatch Friday

A nice way to relax from a tiring holiday shopping, is visit the Sky Watch group.   Those in charge, Sylvia, Sandy and Yogie will love to have you drop by skyley.blogspot.com

It is hard to beat just simple, blue skies.

Outdoor Wednesday

Finally, a lovely, warmer day to be outdoors.  It may not be that way in your area, but when you stop by http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com you will enjoy the outdoors more.

This plant/vine originally came from Asia.It is called Kudzu. It was brought to the United States in 1876 and thrives more in the South. It will literally cover everything in its path.  People have to work at keeping it under some control. My sister lives in Mississippi and these shots were taken around them. In the South, it has covered over seven million acres.

Blue Monday

Welcome to another special day of blues with Jeanne. Some of the best can be found at
backyardneighbor.typepad.com

On my outing last week, this blue caught my eye. Prayers are definitely needed for the
"blue officers".  There have been several around here recently.  Some so senseless.  I read where there has been 63 fallen officers in 2016.
