My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
I remember the cold winter mornings I would cut a slice mom’s homemade bread, toasting it in this exact toaster and smothering it in “real” butter. Well, mom made her homemade bread before we arrived for Thanksgiving. As expected I cut a slice about as thick as it would fit in the toaster and drowned it in butter. I mentioned how impressed I was that the toaster was still working. Dad then informed it was one of their wedding gifts which makes is almost 68 years old. I made toast every morning I was there.
I hope and pray everyone is enjoying family, friends and way too much food. And, if you’re traveling that you have a safe trip to and from home. It is a season to celebrate life. May the best gift you find be the love you give and receive. Merry Christmas!
Spent time in Old Town area for a ĺook at the lights. My hands were cold by the time I returned home. But, made a hot chocolate as the images downloaded. All is good.
Winter is here. Snow started falling around noon yesterday on Christmas Day and has snowed throughout the night. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
… then off to meet a friend for coffee and conversation. I will be taking down the tree today or tomorrow, so I thought I’d pst at least one image of the tree decorations. It seemed like the gift giving this year had a special meaning. My youngest daughter helped pick out gifts for my grandchildren so they were happy with what they received. I also did not spend much money this year as I did not have much money to spend on them. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.
It is the season when shopping centers, churches, schools, offices are putting up trees and Easton Town Center is no exception. I ran to the Apple store in the mall and found this tree lit up and shoppers walking around in the rain. Pulled out the camera and took a couple of shots. High ISO so it is grainy.
