Christmas Lights





Christmas Goose

I have a family of Christmas Geese on our front steps but today after the snowfall, only Daddy was still visible! Poor Mommy and her babies are under all the snow!

Drive Home



The Week Before Christmas

As usual a wonderful Christmas Party was held by the IBEW District 2, at Water's Edge in CT. The food was delicious and the company great. Warm wishes and holiday joy were all around us but the impending snow storm was mentioned plenty during the night.
As planned, Paul and I stayed overnight and were going to start out nice and early in the morning but our plans to pick up our grandsons were changed due to the approaching, expected storm. I have to add that right near Water's Edge there is a fabulous discount mall......enough said....our early start was a bit delayed. We started home at 12:45 p.m. and drove through a white hell! We didn't arrive home until 5:30 p.m. Our 2 1/2 hr. trip took a bit longer than usual.
I thought that I would share some of the beautiful photos of Water's Edge, the many trees that are throughout the hotel, the weather conditions from our car ride home and then the lovely snowfall that resulted. I also am going to add a photo or two of my Christmas tree because I was very happy to see it when we arrived home safely!







This last photo is looking into our livingroom at the tree. It is decorated with photos of the children and ornaments that they made as children. We also have some ornaments that have special meaning to us. Not done all the same color, or like some in department stores but decorated with love and memories of 39 years of marriage.
