Christmas At Cheekwood


Often when visiting my daughter who lives in Nashville, Tn.
we find the time to visit the beautiful 
Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art
Cheekwood 
 is currently celebrating the holidays 
by displaying festive Christmas Trees
designed and decorated by local
artists and designers.
Each tree represents a 
"Christmas Classic".

God's Christmas Decorations!

Most of you know I am not decorating for
CHRISTMAS
this year.
It has been rainy the last couple of days and I had not been 
out to the front porch. Today, we were greeted with beautiful sunshine and an awesome surprise of God's nature in action.
 Even the Shamrock in the center of the pot is blooming.
These are a slightly different color. Still many buds to flower.

GOD IS GOOD!

I hope it's OK, Kathleen. These cacti
would make a wonderful centerpiece
if I WERE doing a table!

PRAY HEALING COMFORT FOR ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY THE TRAGEDY OF SANDY HOOK.

I don't normally participate in Chains
of ANY kind. This one is different.

Tomorrow I will honor 
Blog silence out of respect for the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School

But Jesus said, Allow little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

MY BLUE CHRISTMAS!



With a little Silver and White
for good measure

Bob and I will be going north again this year for the holidays.
When we visit the girls for Christmas and New Year I don't decorate...maybe just a little.
In order to join the fun I am posting some pictures from Christmas 2010. I hope you will enjoy them, as some have not previously been posted.

TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG!

THAT IS THE QUESTION!

Do any of you feel like this?
I thought so!

Well a couple of months ago, I felt like
I didn't have another post in me!

Just Hanging Around!!

Just to let you, my Blogger Friends, know that you mean a lot to me. I cherish our friendship. Granted it is a virtual relationship 
but you have welcomed me into your community. All of you have been so very kind and I feel very close to so many of you.
I will be taking a break, just for a while. I have some things 
that need my attention. I need to rest and renew. I intend to be
back to blogging full time some time in October.
Don't give up on me! I hope you will continue to visit
 when I get back. Until then,
I will be hanging around!
 I will be visiting YOU!
AND
I'll be back!

WTC MEMORIAL

God Bless America!
This is a repost of my visit to 
the 9-11 Memorial last October.
It was a sobering and solemn sight.

I like many, will never forget where I was and what I was doing on that fateful day.
I have visited ground zero on two previous occasions but on this visit I was privileged to see the memorial taking shape.

FREE WREATH HANGERS!


Free Wreath Hangers
in your closet!
You can make them in minutes.
 Earlier in the summer I published a post about making this wreath. At the same time my daughter, Hollie, showed me how she makes wreath hangers for free.

GIMME AN "R"

Everyone is talking about
and wishing for Fall!

While Fall won't officially start until 
the third week of September,
(in days of yore, one could say the 21st
but now it is calculated to the hour)
the month of September has an "R"
in its name.
Around these parts that means
Oysters are in season and that means
OYSTER STEW!

The Scots Build A Wheel!

WHEN SCOTSMEN BUILD SOMETHING 
THEY DO IT RIGHT!
AND THEY BUILD KELPIES!

In April of 2011, I invited myself and my son, Robby, to accompany my daughter, Kim and grandson, Tim on a transatlantic cruise and land tour in Great Britain. I was blessed to experience some very interesting sites with my beloved grandson, Timothy. He had researched our trip and told me about this site before we began.

PLEASE PRAY FOR CINDY!

On the evening of August 22, Cindy lost her battle with cancer. She now rests in the loving embrace of our Lord. Please continue to pray for her family during this difficult time. 

Many of you know Donna @ Funky Junk Interiors
She is asking prayer for Cindy, the wife of her nephew. In her words,  "My girl Cindy needs your prayers please. Immediately."

Read Donna's post HERE and please pray for Cindy without ceasing. Our Lord said,  "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" Matthew 18:20. We know our Lord is with Cindy and will hear our prayers.

DOES BAILEY LOVE COFFEE??

Well, Coffee Loves Bailey's
A few years ago, I saw a blog that posted a New Year's Eve dinner where the hostess served coffee in these cups!



Serenity of Nature

I allowed Vee's Note Card Party to slip by me last month.
I dare not do that again this month

My Friend Marian's American Beautyberry
A neighborhood street in Savannah, the tree grows across the street and rests on the ground in the owners side yard.
Hydrangea in my garden this Spring.
A peaceful stream on the grounds of Blarney Castle, Ireland

I hope you will enjoy my suggestions for serene notecards from nature.

A Haven for Vee
