So, Christmas is over and we all scramble to take down the Christmas decorations. I usually feel sad to see the decorations go, but I am back in New England and our first snow arrived today. This always makes me scramble to take down the outside decorations before they are frozen in place until March.
Just in case you have chilly weather where you are, here's a nice warm fire. I don't have a fireplace in my bedroom. So I often bring my laptop in my bedroom and put this on, while I read.
There will be lots of fun things coming up for us in 2016. My third grandchild is due early May, so I'll be planning a baby shower. We don't know whether it's a girl or a boy, Sarah and Mike want to be surprised.
Speaking of March, I am thinking that March works best for a baby shower, since Sarah is due in early May. Yet, it can be very snowy in March. Here's hoping that we have another stretch of mild weather like we enjoyed this December. I took the photo of the icicles last February.
And so the winter begins, with lots of snow. There will be snowmen to build and...
pretty scenes to memorize.
The year 2016 will be filled with lots of blessings.
Wishing you a safe and happy New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!
P.S. I went to see STAR WARS with Sarah and Mike. Loved it so much. They took me to a newly renovated theater nearby that has assigned seating, and the most comfortable reclining leather seats ever. I remember seeing the original in Manhattan in 1977 at the Loews Astor Theatre. One of the largest screens to see the amazing first Star Wars. I lived in New York then, and my friend Rachel and I became Star Wars buddies and saw all their movies together.
Here's a photo of my friend Joyce's Christmas gift to them. Baby Star Wars toys. How cute is that?
