Merry Christmas

We are heading to California in the morning and I still have much to do before we walk out the door. No matter how early I start, there is always that crunch at the end and the struggle to get it all done.

I couldn't forget to wish you a very merry Christmas filled with lots of love, laughter, and happiness.

Looking forward to keeping up with you in 2010.

With love~

What are your favorite things?

A couple Saturdays ago the three of us were eating lunch and the song "My Favorite Things" came on the radio. So, in an effort to encourage some discussion and family bonding, I proceeded to ask Don and Lindy what their favorite things are. And cue sound of crickets.

Yep, that's what I got crickets! A whole plague of them. Don kind of looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language and I don't recall that he offered up one thing. Lindy didn't play either and she usually doesn't miss a moment to talk. I'm sure her answer would've been something like, "candy, chocolate, unicorns, and diamonds."

So, I'm hoping that maybe just one person will share their favorite things with me. It can be products, activities, people, places, etc. If I were a bit more tech savvy and less lazy, I'd add a Mr. Linky doo dad so you could add all your things on your blog and link right here to them. Sorry...

Hoping you'll share and that this time of remembering your favorite things will bring you great joy...

xoxo~

PS-It wouldn't be fair to ask if I didn't play along, too. I'll work on compiling some ideas and share soon...

Breakfast with bloggy buds

A couple weeks ago I got an email in my Facebook inbox from, Jill, a friend I've "met" through blogging inviting me to get together with her and our mutual friend, Danielle. That was exciting mail! I gladly rearranged a couple of things on my calendar so I could join them. This morning I had the wonderful opportunity and pleasure to meet them for a lovely breakfast. It was a crisp, gorgeous morning here in south Texas and we went to Guenther House--one of my favorite places in town.

Jill and Danielle are absolutely precious and kind (and thin, and young, and talented). Our time together went by much too quickly. Here are a couple of pictures from our fun morning. Sorry they're so tiny...(Not sure what blogger is doing...)


I've been really fortunate to meet some great people through the blogosphere and am especially happy to have met these two young women today.
