Snow

Much of America is blanketed with a snow right now. So when I came across this information, I thought how wonderful to learn more about the perfection and beauty of God's creation -

Christmas on the porch

Living in Florida affords the luxury of wonderful weather. Enjoying the warm and sunny days, I opened the doors to the porch and set a Christmas table.

 The tool box arrangement was inspired by a post from the amazing Rosemary and Thyme when she shared a Christmas Home Tour.

I hope this Christmas season is a joyous one for each and every one of you.

Christmas tea with a friend

 If you had a friend visiting, how would you set your table?

I love my red china.  It makes for such a festive table at Christmas or any time of the year.

Come, sit a spell, and enjoy a cup of tea with me.

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.  ~Henry James

Thanksgiving blessings

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings.  I am very grateful for so many things.  A loving husband, a good family, special friends.  But I am most grateful to God for the mercies He shows towards me every day.

So at Thanksgiving, it really isn't about the turkey and food.  It's about giving Thanks. To our Creator who has given all things for us to enjoy.

I started collecting the Friendly Village china several years ago.

 Each piece was purchased from our local department store at the end of Christmas sale.

 The day after Christmas, the department store would mark down all of their clearance 1/2 price.

Which had allowed me to collect quite a nice table setting.

Our little Pilgrim was carved by a friend many years ago.

I hope your table will be surrounded by friends and family.

Wishing you a Happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

The Christmas Ring

 The Christmas Ring was a delightful heart warming story centered around a lost ring woven together by loss, faith and reblooming love. 

Military widow Vanessa searched for years for the ring her father in law found during a WW 2 rescue. Losing it during a skiing vacation with her daughter Sadie. After dropping Sadie off at college, Vanessa visits an antique shop advertising Christmas in July. She meets Ben Miller and is instantly drawn to him. Over time they keep in touch, searching for the missing ring. 

Ben's father buys a box of antiques from another shop. not realizing what is inside. The drama that unfolds keeps you in suspense. 

Karen Kingsley has a magical way of writing, leaning on faith to resolve the situation. Well written and relatable characters.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Thank a Veteran

 

Veterans Day is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. A federal holiday, it is observed on November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I.

In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

On this Veteran's Day I hope we will all take a moment to honor and remember the men and women who have served, and those who continue to serve to keep our country free.
