When choirs are singing in His praise,

And Christmas carols say,

"Glory to the new - born King,

Blessed is this day,"

May you be sharing in the cheer

Of every Christmas hymn

Its hope and promise fill your heart

With joys that never dim.

Cups of Advice

Tamaki AKA the Header Story

So was just a wondering how many of you saw Tamaki in our header photo.  Pretty cute huh.  He was so hidden, that he almost got walked over by Tom and the dog.  I guess he was so sure he was hidden that he didn't even move, which is why I was able to get this photo.

Liberty Blue

So heres a question for you. Have you ever heard of Staffordshire Ironstone Liberty Blue dishware?  I hadn't until just a few months ago.  And I should have heard about it a long while ago.  Liberty Blue is a line of dishware that was offered for the Bicentennial of America.  The dishes were made in England no less.  Now there is some history for you.  Each size plate has a different scene on it of American History. This plate which I found at a thrift store has the Independance Hall on it.  It is truly beautiful.  My new love.
So how did I hear about it?  From a random Blog I was browsing.  Oh the things we learn.  Having lived thru the time when this first came out, I have no idea why I didn't learn of it then. 

Beach Night

Little Anna sitting in the Van, playing with blocks.  Something about this photo, all we can see is a Young Ben.

The seagull joining in the party

Cute little leggings go on quick when the weather turns cool.

Good Night Sun.

We were able to squeeze in one beach night before Jennifer and Marc moved to Idaho,  It was a fun and beautiful night.  I happend to drop by the next night after shopping and before going home, and it was cloudy and rained.  So we were very lucky, and thankful.

A Lovely view on the day
