Precious Wreaths
Today we will participate in one of my favorite holiday traditions, the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony. No matter where we have been in this country, we have participated. This organization is, in my opinion, simply one of the BEST. Their mission is simple to lay a wreath at the headstone of every veteran. This…

Happy Start to the Day
This morning’s little blog, is pretty, short and simple actually, 🙂 . Last night while making dinner we had Christmas music playing and one of my all-time favorites came on. I’ve been singing it to myself ever since, ya, I woke up with it in my head. I feel like I’ve been writing quite a…

Not How Many but What
Last night after dinner my husband and I spent time wrapping some gifts. Usually, after we’ve brought home packages, I go through and sort out the purchases by who they are going to.
