Something I Promised


I didn't exactly promise a picture of this, but this is the first fire of the season. It was absolutely beautiful. Been waiting all year for that. As one guy I know would say, "I'm a firebug." I guess we are, too. We love a good fire. It was rather warm, too, I must say. I love the quaint feel a fireplace gives. A happy home makes that even more wonderful! Just one of the many things I have to be thankful for.


And then for my promises - here are just a few pictures of some decorations. The first is a nativity Jeremy got when he went to Israel a few years ago. It's handmade out of olive wood. It's very pretty and detailed. It sits in the middle of my mantle and makes a beautiful centerpiece.

The second is a gift I received from Jeana last year for Christmas and was anxious to get it in front of the fireplace. It's very pretty. I love it.

The others need no explanation. I just love Christmas.

So, Aunt Linda, here you are. The pictures I promised.

Thank you! I kinda like the girl figurine, too. I think I'll keep her! I love you, too.

And I got to see the girl figurine in person - even more beautiful than this picture! We had a wonderful time being with you, Anita. Love you, sweetie.
