There is a riveting discussion going on in my previous post so check it out…along with all the comments. Our neighborhood progressive dinner was last night so I’ll show you some fun photos from that and announce the winners of my book giveaway. But first, here’s a peek at my garland…….that I’m ‘froofin’ right up for the Nester’s garland party on Wednesday. Get your ‘garland on’ and join us! (I sound like I’m doing a news segment—-now back to you Leigh Ann)
And here are my lovely neighbors—-those people whom I have the pleasure and privilege of sharing my life with….(and my dog and my kids and my baked goods, and my Christmas decorations that stay up until Feb 1st—I’m one of those)
And here’s the Tankini Squad—those neighbors who are home in the summer lying by the pool—-and no.. heavens no Leigh Ann, I will NOT be posting swimsuit shots this summer—unless it’s my head photoshopped onto Jennifer Aniston’s body. So be thinking ahead of time who you’d like your head photoshopped onto. K? (And as I scroll back through these pictures right before I post them, it occurs to me that I have a bit of a 70’s flair going on—the wide leg trousers jeans, the shwanky blouse, the Farrah Fawcett hair—–I think I could be the sidekick of Cousin Eddie or a young Burt Reynolds….I even have a little bit of a swagger). Note to self: easy on the feathered bangs.
More fellowship……
and my dear very own guardian angel….Donna…..who has been my next door neighbor for the past 8 years and is now moving. I’m still in stage 1 denial of her leaving….so when I’m able to speak of it like a normal adult, I’ll get back to you.
And the winners for my book giveaway (which took me forever to decide on–because I had to research all the books they recommended) are Denise, Meme, Musings from a Homeschooling Mom, Kelly, and Sheri. I’ve made my Amazon order of your recommendations and can’t wait to start reading. Email me your address—and when my books come in—I’ll mail them to you. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment! Hugs and love to all!

That looks like a great party with friends! It sounds like you have a great relationship with your neighbors! I am so excited about winning the book!
Love the pictures of your party and the garland!! Sounds like you are going to be a bookworm soon – I think you will love the books, and thank you for the Lutheran Prayer book! I am sending you an email soon!
I won?!! WOW!
You know what? My garland is missing. Mike and I have torn the attic apart and can not find it. I was really looking forward to doing something fun with it this year.
What a great group of friends/neighbors!
Love the garland and your 70’s look. I have that same W, they’re heavy…how you keeping it up? I’m jealous that you are so close with all those neighbors. I have great neighbors on both sides of me and I’ll be losing one of them next year. I don’t know what I’ll do, I called her late last night saying I needed a soda…BAD! She comes through for me no matter what it is. Ugh!
You are just a stunning woman! I’m going to start calling you my movie-star blogger friend. 🙂
Ooooh, I can’t wait to come back tomorrow and see your mantel! It looks really great so far!! I love it!
A winner?? Me, a winner?? Yippee, I’m so excited! The book contest is probably the only one I had a chance in the world to win–I’ll leave the garland to you, my dear. Can I have a special delivery? Or maybe I should head on over to pick up my winnings??? I could really inspect that garland for future information. Not much chance of garland being in my future, but it’s worth a peek!
I feel bad for Sheri about losing her garland and all. I’m wondering if it’s been stolen by a Nester groupie or some guy with a lot of Mac lip gloss and a snazzy-looking purse. *wink*
Are you enjoying Jotham’s Journey?
Nice pictures!! Too I love your home decoration.
friends… food… fellowship… life’s true… good way down deep… treats!
I have to tell you that your family is beautiful…They look so happy! 🙂
