While all around, the angels


These last few days

have been as close to perfect they could be.

My son's girlfriend made it in from the

States before the snow came and

kissed us with a blanket of white.

We wrapped up warm last night

and walked, ( yes walked)

to Church.

It was so pretty, and slippy. :)

The service was lovely, lots of Carols and

tinsel that sparkled.

Afterwards we went to a friends house

and everyone sat around on the floor eating and laughing.

At one point I looked across the room

and saw my husband

talking to my nephews girlfriend from Amsterdam.

She was laughing out loud at one of his silly jokes.

Then my son,

looking at his girlfriend with such tenderness in his eyes.

Bing Crosby singing in the background.

The clink of glasses,

the tinkle of laughter.

While all around,
the angels.

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
