ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED

Goodbye 2010. It’s time to let the old year go and welcome in a new time. Each day of last year brought new adventures and new challenges. There was excitement of trips to visit with family and vacations in Charleston and Savannah. There were worrisome times when Don had his aneurysm surgery and I dealt with some health issues. There were special days that you would love to live over and over and ones that you hope you will never have again. I call my blog Season to season because each season rolls around no matter what is going on in your life. The permanence and reliability of nature reminds us that life does go on and we are here to be just a small part of it. It has a way of humbling us, keeping us grounded. A tender snowfall, a quick spring storm, a blistering day or a gust of fall wind says….stop…..notice…..enjoy in your life. Take a deep breath.
  May your 2011 be the happiest times of your life. May you face all your troubles with confidence to know that you can handle it all and persevere. May you always know, my friends, that there is abundance of love. From me to you, Happy New Year. I’m stealing a new Year’s resolution from my wise friend, Linda…….”Be good to yourself….Be good to others”
   Let’s take a little trip back to 2010 in pictures.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

There is nothing more fun than having my friends in. This week I had an afternoon Christmas party for my friends. The table was laden with so much delicious food that I had to use the large table to hold it all.

We gathered around the table in the sunroom. The little candles on the table with a musical wrap were gifts for the guests.






What a merry Christmas!

More Christmas fun!

On Christmas eve Sean opened his gift from Uncle Chris. It was a complete woody costume including chaps, hat, map, and canteen. He loved it!
We couldn’t forget Sadie.


Sara got a gloworm.
And Scott got a new drumset, some sticks and a double bass pedal. Dan is president of the caving club at Penn State and loved his gear.



Uncle Chris got Sara this cute hat. Nan just couldn’t put her down a minute.



Relaxing in the hot tub. Sean goes all the way under the water.

Christmas Fun!

This is Sean’s first time in the snow. After putting on his new boots and snowpants he went outside sled riding with the other boys.

Nana and Linda stayed in the house and put chocolate on the butterfinger candy.

Even TopGun enjoyed the season.


Of course, Nana couldn’t resist giving Sean an early Christmas present. He loved to plaly Cootie.


Then there was the Christmas eve feast!
