The Day After

The Christmas Day was wonderful. Meals with friends, laughter, and gratitude.

Today it is has been raining, snowing, sleeting, raining, sleeting, and still coming down in the form of light rain. I went so far as to cancel my boxing just because I have become a weather yucky wimp when it gets dark and I have to drive in conditions I am not totally convinced are not slippy sliddy .. you know the kind of weather I'm talking about? It is the yuckiest. Neither here nor there .....

Back to yesterday -- Had a wonderful Xmas breakfast with cranberry muffins to start the day. Then proceeded to making wicked mashed potatoes for late lunch.

And finished the day by watching the Dr. Who marathon on BBC America. Have two shows on the DVR which I need to watch. I ran into the office today and got last minute items ready for my travel on January 2nd to San Antonio for a board meeting. I so love love love that city!

Stay warm.... I need to create some art so I will disappear and show up later on.  Blessings!

And All through the House

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse! Well maybe - you never know on Christmas Eve. One of the most magical nights of the year. Merry Christmas to you with love from Harley, the Rat, and me. Hugs to all and to all a Good Night.

Pray Flag for Newtown, CT

Today at 9:30am EST I will observe a moment of silence for all 26 

souls who so tragically died in Newtown last Friday. I have made my prayer flag to send off to Leighanna Light in New Mexico who has organized a project to send the prayer flags to the town of Newtown.  Let us remember those beautiful souls lost and always remember - tell those you love how much you love them. We never know what the next minute holds.

 Hugs and Love sent to all my Honeysuckle Breeze Peeps

How to Clean a Table

Guess what I am doing on my Christmas Vacation - the short version for today....
 

See craft table. Problem - no work space? You think?

Dump all stuff off of craft table -- weeeeeeeeee rock!

Back to reality -- Review stuff and then Organize

Time for lunch yet?  OK, I know I am not fooling you and yes, all the stuff is still on the floor.  So excuse me while my job to tackle today is one blob of stuff on floor.  A little bit at a time and also waiting on book from Amazon, "Shed you Stuff" -- Sure, I think that is like shedding the hair over your lip - it keeps coming back.  OK - lunch and will check in later, peeps.  PS - need my creative space back since I want to join in the "Hope Flag Project" organized by Leighanna Light out of New Mexico. Stay warm and if you are where the snow is blowing - you are lucky.  Would like a snow day here in Northern Virginia.  Details for this project exists on Facebook.

The events of the last few days brings into our reality how one single act can change so many lives. I finally had to turn off the TV watching the sadness of this horrific act upon the innocents.  We must remember in our aching hearts that these children and teachers who died at the hands of evil are now being cradled in the arms of  angels. May we pray for those left behind that in some small way they will receive comfort from those who are caring for them right now. There are no words that can convey what they are going through right now. Yes, it turns our hearts upside down to even imagine if we were in their shoes. May there be peace on earth in this time of sorrow. Christmas is just around the corner and the joy surrounding this season and the birth of our Christ will be celebrated around the world. Within this celebration is to know that life does not end at death - we are carried by our guardian angels to a place where we know peace for evermore in the love of our Heavenly Father. Amen.

12-12-12

Yup - why not emerge on the last day of the sequence number dates we will have until 2101. Gonna miss these dates - they have been fun.

The Holidays are fast approaching. Don't have a clue where this year has gone. I am still creating art, working out, playing tennis, cardio boxing and enjoying life. Today I wanted to do a quick post to wish you happy. 12-12-12. Oliver is coming over on Saturday for a play date. How cool is that? Hugs
