LITTLE GIRLS WITH WARM WISHES!

These little gems were keeping

toasty while they were waiting

to be given to their deserving friends.

The holidays have been so bright

and full of goodness, you can

see it in the little one's eyes

and rosy cheeks.

I do hope they are keeping their new

owners cheery and joyful!

Oh, well, it's CHRISTMAS WEEK!

Zuzu can express many emotions,

but today she has shown us

that Christmas is not really

one of her favorite holidays.

Oh, she loves the cookies and food,

and helping to decorate the house outside.

But presents and paper and unwrapping

doesn't do much for her.

Let's just say she loves the calm

that comes after a long and delightful

Christmas morning.

Sweet dreams, Zu....

It's Holiday House time......

Welcome to the annual

Duboistown Holiday House.

Held every year in the student lounge

of Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa.

It surely gets everyone into the holiday

mode and begins moving the Christmas

gears in our brains.

No, it's not too early -

why, Thanksgiving is in four days!

And quickly after we indulge in

turkey -stuffing - gravy - pie,

we are starting to dream of what's to come

in the weeks ahead.

The theme this season was inspired by weddings.

The trees and accessories were everything

a bride and groom would hope their day would showcase.

And as every person has a unique interpretation,

the displays didn't let us down.

Enjoy the lovely scenes,

Dream of what's to come,

Shrink yourself into the matchbox dioramas,

Pretend to be there with us

and enjoy every moment of Christmas!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU....

MY SWEET ANNIE!

A daughter who loves travel,
her Zuzu,

her crafting and designing,

and her family.

Love & Kisses to you!

This is Fall

...in my little corner of the world.

Beautiful, crisp, sunny,

colorful, warm, breezy -

what more could you want!

We like to think this is God's

palette, giving such color to the world.

Although it may not be as bright this year,

it is nonetheless as magnificent.

Creating a new world for just a short

length time.

Mesmerizing!

Heart Walk for Finn and Fun!

Here's Finn and his gang -

Yesterday we did a Heart Walk

in Bethlehem, PA, for this guy named Finn.

He was co-chair of the walk with another BIG Guy,

Darrell Dawkins!

Finn has been through alot in his life thus far,

having had a few heart operations, transfusions,

many trips to CHOP(children's hospital

of philadelphia), consultations, etc.

Things many of us will never have to

submit to in our lives.

So we thought we'd walk a few miles and

donate our time to his cause -

The American Heart Association.

Crafts, Cars and Great Big Carriers!

What a great day in Muncy,

the annual Corvette show was

smack in the middle of Main St.

Along with many crafters and

artists, there was plenty of

food and good things to eat.

And the morning gave way to

the aerial GIANTS.

The Rotary Balloon Festival

was also held today.

Fall has just begun!

The colors of fall in my life...

cool rides, plentiful harvests,

beauty in the garden,

companions of the earth and sky,

we live in one beautiful world.
