Oh my poor hosta lilies. I’ll see you again next year…

Truly a sad sight to behold and this brown thumb needs to bundle up and head out front to clear out the flower beds BUT with the bad news comes the good. My pretty camellia bush is just overflowing with buds gearing up for spring…

1 I Love Getting Carded

>> Tuesday, December 7, 2010

Christmas cards. I love them. Seriously. I grin like a three year old when a prettily packaged piece of cardstock appears in my mailbox, and when my first card of the season greeted me yesterday, my holiday heart became a little less grinch-y.

 


Not only did my pretty older send the first card of the season my way, but was also thoughtful enough to include a few snapshots of us on her big day this past June. My sweet sister and her mister…

5 A Little LTHL Dialogue

>> Friday, December 3, 2010

IMG_4986 Gran’s phone number shows up way past her bedtime on my Blackberry. She’s up to something…


Cara: Hi, Gran.

Gran: Cara! Guess what?—I’ll tell you! My church selected me to light the advent wreath this Sunday!



Cara: That’s great, Gran.

Gran: Yes. It is great, and I want you to come watch. I look out at the congregation every Sunday from the choir and never see you, so this Sunday you can come watch me light the candle.

 



Cara: I’m not a member of your church but of course I would love to come watch you light the candle.



Gran: Good! And you can walk with me up to the front of the church to light it, too.

Cara: Oh, um, I can do that. Sure.



Gran: Good! And you will read something to the whole congregation while I light the candle.

Cara: Oh. Wait? What? Reading? What am I reading? I don’t know these people.



Gran: Yes, I volunteered you to read. Just speak loudly and slowly. We are all old you know.
