Christmas Tree
I hope all of you are enjoying your holiday season! Have you put up your Christmas tree? If so, I’d love to see a picture of it!
We haven’t put up a tree since our son lost interest – which happened several years ago.
I had the urge for a tree, but didn’t want a big one. I bought a small inexpensive tree from Amazon and hung some lights from our bedroom window!
Our son finished his exams last Friday – so he’s HOME for winter break!

Christmas Tree Lighting
I hope all of you are enjoying your holiday season! Have you started your Christmas shopping? What have you purchased? Do you have a list of things that still need to be bought?
We attended a Christmas tree lighting in our downtown area on December 6th (Saint Nicholas Day). It was SO COLD! We had to bundle up. Santa was there, handing out candy to the kids. And the mayor of our town sang some songs.

Towson University!

We had a wonderful time last weekend visiting our son at Towson University. He played in the marching band. This was their last home game of the season.
Here’s a pic of my son, me, husband, and father-in-law before the game. Our son was getting ready to suit up into his uniform!

Plants!
I hope all of you have a fantastic week!
The weather has been inconsistent lately – which often happens in autumn. It’s been cold, and then it gets warm. My basil plants are still alive, but are slowly dying. My peppermint will usually stay alive until Christmas. Here’s a couple of pics. The first is my marigolds and the other is of some late tomatoes that recently sprouted.

Do you have siblings? If you do, are you close to them?
This book was such a treat to read! It’s about three half sisters (different mothers, same father) who spend summers together with their paternal grandmother. Their father is deceased and the story shows how each sister had to go through a unique struggle – partially stemming from their irresponsible alcoholic father. Carson is the main character and she loves swimming and surfing. When she has an accident, she becomes acquainted with a dolphin, and then the story takes on unique twists and turns after that.
She meets Blake, and they share a special bond and love for the ocean. However, their bond proves tenuous as they discover secrets and new information about sea creatures.
I highly recommend this book if you want a nice, comforting read.
So, do you have siblings? If you do, are you close to them?

Halloween!
We only had one trick-or-treater this year. Most of the houses on my street had their lights off. Did you have any trick-or-treaters?
Here’s a little treat for you! My little grandniece with her friend from church on Halloween!
Autumn!
I’ve been enjoying the beautiful fall weather during my daily walks. Here’s a pic of a beautiful tree in our neighborhood. I love seeing the beautiful colors of the leaves this time of the year.

| #romance #beachread #beachreads #newsletter #ceceliadowdy #romancenovel #romancenovels #cleanandwholesome #Christian #inspirational We’ve been back for a week and I still miss the beach! I wish we’d stayed for two weeks instead of one! Here’s a pic of the living room of our beach rented condo. The place felt like home. I loved walking outside straight to the beach each morning! Perhaps we can retire here someday! |
