Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and other well wishes to all who celebrate peace, love and goodness this season. Time changes the way we celebrate, the people who are with us, and the places we may be. But nothing changes true love. Nothing changes the human desire for happiness. We long to live in peace; to…
Happy Christmas to all bloggers, visitors, friends – well everyone and anyone who happens to catch this post. I just want to say that I’m really grateful to everyone who leaves a like or a comment. I have not been posting very much this past year mostly because of lack of time, so I really…
Okay, so I’m cheating on this one. I didn’t take the photo of the Ninja, but that’s because I lost the battery charger for my camera. But that doesn’t change the fact that this Ninja food processor is the newest thing I have. It was a Christmas gift for my husband and I from our…
It was an unexpectedly warm and sunny Christmas day after a week of rain. Although we had a white Thanksgiving, no such luck for Christmas here in NH this year. From what I’ve read we should have been in Hawaii instead. A warm day at home and in our hearts, with family and lots of cooking.…
Yellow is a star, the sun, sometimes even the moon. Yellow is everywhere, every season, every day. Yellow is warmth, happiness, fun and friendship.

I’m cheating – 2 Challenges in one. Surprise! On Dec. 24th at 1:00 AM, my daughter came home to NH from her trip to AZ. I made her stand outside the door and wait while I prepared the atmosphere in the living room. A crackling fireplace is something we’ve never had in our house before, but this…
I went to Israel & Palestine one year during the week before Christmas. I went to the site that is recognized as Jesus birthplace; a cave under the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Obviously there was no church there when Jesus was born, and the site was not elaborately adorned as it is now, but it was…
