We had a wonderful weekend helping set up ,cooking a little, attending, and photographing my brothers wedding (Wedding post  at a later date)in Georgetown Tx they married in this very sweet little  Grace church

enter the double doors

into a small vestibul

we entered a little side door to go up these stairs

and view from the choir loft

so pretty

it is an historical treasure

all the lovely arched doors

invite you to enter

as it has for 130 years

if you are ever in the area see for yourself

AGAIN! My World is WHITE and........ yellow

Last Sunday my world was all fluffy and flowery w/ these

beautiful Bradford pear trees making lovely lanes of white

Then Saturday this white again- now those of you who
live in colder climates are probably thinking "so what" ---
but we do not get much snow in TX and feel lucky
to get one snow a year or every other year and this
year we have had 4 or more:)

so we had to move the potted plants back in the garage hopefully not toooooo late

and esp hopefully not too much for my tulips

And this morning I was greeted w/ this sweet answer --not too much for this beauty

What color is your world?

My world has been so snow covered

Parts of it were so beautiful and so unique for us Texans



hiking was glorious

my yard was heavily laden

but after 10 -12 inches in an area that gets a dusting that does not stick once a year

it was too much and branches were breaking everywhere



so we knocked off the beautiful heavy snow to protect our trees(much needed for summer shade)



Add 40 degrrees and sunshine and this snow covered anomoly looks


almost back to normal 2 days later:(

Does a foot of snow melt away that quickly where you live?

William Mckinley Monument My World

The weather was cold and grey (6 degrees)

when I went to my home town of Canton Ohio this past week

this is President William Mckinley's Monument
I grew up playing here on the steps and rolling down thehills
I have many fond memories here


This used to be the County Historical and I was tickled to see
it was now hi sPresidential library

My World" It all began with a Family" nativity Displays

My World" and Ruby Tuesday

I collect Nativities and was asked this year to put my collection in a community display it was a wonderful 3 day event peppered w/ musical performances and thousands of Nativities to look at all these maybe overwhelming so just enjoy one or two that pop out to you
this was one third of my room of nativities I displayed

I have between 75 and 80 nativities in my collection at one point we had over an hundred .. some I gave to others some broke.:( Most of my collection are from generous gifts --I had to tell my family and friends We :)now we only actively collect ones from different countries or we wold have to move :)to a warehouse to store them:)


I so enjoyed all the other peoples ...

from many different countries
