Tidings


Oliver wanted to engage in the festivities too.
Drawing on the porch...we're a bit like,
Thing one...and Thing two.




I'm taking my holiday spirit duties
pretty seriously.  
And hoping Santa brings chalk.
Ours seems to be disappearing mysteriously. :)

XOXO

Drive



He agreed to help Oliver up on the bales. She decided some fresh air would be nice.  
On our way to the farm, we laughed at the thought "what if" we were to be pulled over. 
A goat, a dog, an old sled, a chair and my 77 year old sister-in-law with her cane.
She said she she'd tell them she heard an ice-storm was coming.  
Then we giggled some more.



 A plain old really good day and something special at the same time.


Hope you had some special moments in your day too !!
XOXO

Sidetracked



I always feel a little blue this time of year.
How I wish I could wrap all of my loved ones up...and put them
under my tree ! [I know. That would be weird. But  you get the idea.]
Yep ! I'd love it !
I was trying to get my Christmas cards made out.
 I came to my Aunt Sandy's address.
[tissue please]
It's strange how one little thing can change the whole 
direction of your day, isn't it ?
I suddenly came down with a good case of the mopeys.
So of course I did the only rational thing to do.....

I took the boys out to the country for a walk.
So, long story short.
I didn't get my Christmas cards done.

Hope you have a great week.
Be well.

XOXO

Reminders


Because...it's all about the heart...
not the hustle.




















Jumping on the trampoline with our grandchildren.
Cycling at night around the harbor with my girlfriends.
Christmas lights, Mom, hot-chocolate with marshmallows,
being silly, visiting with the neighbor,
learning to drive the tractor {*scratching it off my bucket-list}
playing with the fur-kids,
standing outside under the Supermoon.
I am grateful for these moments.
I am grateful for the reminders to slow down.
This is the good stuff.

I hope you take the time to slow down, enjoy your family,
your friends, and make time for you.
Don't get caught up in the hustle.
Enjoy the good things.

XOXO
