Okay that's not really our house. But I am as serious as I can be about wishing everyone a blessed Holiday season with the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of New Years celebrations.
There is not room or time to list all the things my blog friends have done to make a difference in my life during 2010. I thank you all and cannot wait to see what we will all do in 2011. See you next year.
With Love from
GRANNY ANNIE
"The true miracle of Christmas is not found in the pageantry of a great Christmas Eve service. The true miracle of Christmas is the truth that God is with us in the dirt and dailyness and in the reality and imperfection of our lives."

ReplyDeleteHey, that's my house! (Just kidding. I wish).
The Zombieslayer -- Actually that house is the Johnson's house in Broken Arrow, Okla and it was featured in the paper for the annual light tradition. My real house was actually decorated this season with an old busted box spring on the porch.
ReplyDeleteHi Granny Annie ~~ What a beautiful
ReplyDeletehouse decorated so well.You shouldn't have told us it wasn't yours - we'd never have known. But maybe the true owners would.
I am surprised that I was able to make that long trip, but so glad I did. It was 3 years since I saw my daughter and her family, and doubt if I could go again.
It is New Year's Eve here and today has been 40C which is 104 F. Too hot for my liking. Take good care and have a wonderful New Year
Love, Merle.
Merle -- Finding your blog was one of the highlights of my 2010:) Wishing you a wonderful New Year too.
