There are times weeks are so jammed full I can barely remember all that took place.
I'm always thankful when I've remembered to take a photo or two.
This week: an early Christmas with family visiting, a birthday celebration,
a visit to a beloved old friend who read me some of her poetry,
recovering from minor plastic surgery on my face (!! yes, rid of more of those atypical cells),
a birthday celebration of the life of a babe taken to heaven,
time with grandchildren, and ending the week
with an amazing concert by Kristyn and Keith Getty.
If you like Irish music, look them up!
It's been wonderfully cold and rainy.
About the best winter-like weather we get in this part of the country.
In the bleak mid-winter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone …
Our photos do help us keep a diary of busy weeks. I like your candles in the jars. So pretty. Take care and enjoy the season. ♥
ReplyDeleteIndeed, those busy weeks fly by...full of life and celebration, sunshine and shadow. May your busy days find you rejoicing in His coming!
ReplyDeleteI looked them up! Loved the sound. Have saved the one I listened to to my favorites list. That reads a little confusing, but I guess it is correct enough. You sure know how to pack a week full. All that and plastic surgery, too?! I certainly hope that this resolves all issues for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a busy time of year and it helps to remember it all with photos...and blogging too. Hope you heal quickly and have a happy week! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYour events are the stuff of life, joy mixed with sadness. Love the photos. I hope the plastic surgery heals quickly and well.
ReplyDeleteLorrie said it well ... busy bittersweet and joyful moments of life and the holiday season. Wishing you all the best.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most memorable things we did last Christmas was to attend Joy! An Irish Christmas with the Gettys at a local church here. We also DVRed it when it was on PBS last year, and it has made it through the year still on our DVR. We can't wait to watch again. Such richness in their music. Glad you have had some real celebration... because He lives, we can even celebrate when a wee one is taken to heaven.
ReplyDeleteA full week for you, indeed! Yes, I agree as well...life is made up of joy and sadness and God said that in His word. I saw the photos of the concert on your FB page. I had to say I felt just a tinge of jealousy...I LOVE the Getty's music and I can only imagine how beautiful this concert was! I hope you find plenty of red berries on your holly! :)
ReplyDeleteDotsie, Full weeks are pretty common this time of year. I had a concert on the weekend, put up my tree, and working on Christmas cards and gifts. Looks like it was a wonderful concert. I love Christmas music as well. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a better word than busy for the week you had. It does happen to us all but it sounds like it was a pleasant one for the most part.
ReplyDeleteLove the beauty of the season and your image shares place a heart right where it needs to reside...Merry Christmas Blessings~
ReplyDeleteIt is a busy time of year and your photos are a nice reminder of where you've been.
ReplyDeleteWhat a full and wonderful week you've had, Dotsie! I do like Irish music, so I'll have to Google these artists. I love that last picture of the lanterns in front of the window -- so pretty. Have a good weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
