Hi. :)))))) Welcome to the weekend before Christmas. :))))))))) How are you tonite? I am doing extra sweetly. :)))))) I woke around 9. :))))) After I was fully awake I folded a load of towels, cleaned on the kitchen, vacuumed the house, and took a shower. :))) Soon afterwards our friends Pat and Kathy came by. :)))) We set out on the backporch due to how warm it was here. :))) The weatherman said the temp reached 74 today. :)))))) Us ladies talked about all of the places we wanted to travel to, and how nice it would be to own a large home at the beach for all of us. :))))))) While we were setting outside I told them that the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind reminded me of the sound of the waves. :)))))) I must say that smiles were very plentiful around the house here today. :)))))) It just warms my heart to spend time with my friends. :))))))) Friends and warm temps you just can't bea that. :)))))) Now when it gets cold I like to stay indoors with my family. :))))))) After Pat and Kathy left my husband and I went to the grocery store. :))))) We thought it would be safer to go this evening instead of waiting another day. LOL!!! Our exit gets a little wild with traffic. LOL!!! I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to SunriseGirl for writing me. :))))) I am very sorry that I haven't been here all that much. :) Life gets very busy, and then the next thing I know it is time for bed. :))))) Now Cody is out of school until the 7th of January so I may have time to post a little more often. :)))))))) I have missed you each very much. :)))))) I carry you each in my heart everyday. :)))))) Alecia and her family are buying a house and they are so very happy. :))))) Sophie now calls me "Nana" instead of "Nena". LOL!!! My husband went over to his moms on Thursday and Alecia and Sophie were there. Sophie looked at him and said Poppy and then she slide off the bed and started down the hall calling out Nana, Nana. :)))))) Poppy told her I was not with him so she called out for Cody. LOL!!!! Cody wasn't there either. LOL!!!! I am so looking forward to spending time with my family this holiday. :))))) Okay enough about me. LOL!!!! How have you been? Have you been making sweets for christmas? Are you ready for Christmas? After I made homemade no bake cookies, peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, pumpkin bread, brownies, and a sweet my kids love and all treats shared with others I was ready for christmas. :))))) My husband made some amazing peanut butter fudge. :))))))))) I owe him some homemade rolls after christmas. :)))))) I promise I will make them. :)))))) I should tell a little about this image. LOL!!! I shot this image while we were on the top of WhiteTop Mountain In Oct. :)))) I love the sweet silhouette of the tree against the gorgeous mountain ranges in the background. :)))) At the tips of the tree limbs there were red berries. :))))) I love the true beauty of Nature. :)))))) I want to say thank you ever so much to SunriseGirl for the most sweet words she wrote. :)))))) It is so extra sweet to have friendships that will last a lifetime. :)))))) SunriseGirl you may write me anytime. :)))))) I need to go for the nite. :))) Before I go I want to wish each a most sweet nite filled with sweet beautiful dreams. :))))))) Wishing each a most beautiful Sunday. :))))) I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to each that looked, commented, and rated my last image. :))))))))) Carry A Sunshine Smile In Your Heart :))))) Nite, Sweet Dreams :)))))
