Yesterday, Larry and I had the most amazing experience.

We took a class at a hot shop in Dallas.

(Glass Blowing)

At Christmas, we were gifted a glass blowing class and yesterday we experienced the magic.

I made a paperweight and enjoyed the process of blowing glass, was so much fun. I cannot wait to take another class.

My paperweight will be ready for pick up on Friday. (it has to cool in a special box) I used the color that they call "Slate". they were cool colors and making it was much easier than I thought.

I was totally intimidated by the hot glass...but as an ARTist, I am intrigued and cannot wait to try this again.

It was a wonderful gift. (Thank you to the very special person who gave it to us) Larry and I experienced it together and it is one of those memories that will last forever.

Please have a wonderful day.

(it is cold here!)

Love you beyond the moon.

 Happy New Year.

It has been a wonderful holiday, but I am glad that it is over.

Larry and I are both ready to begin this new year.

There are many things to get done this year and to be honest, I am looking forward to each and every project, experience and trip.

On New Years Eve, Larry and I spent the evening at a friend's restaurant in Dallas. 

I got to spend the evening with my most favorite person in the world....

...surrounded by friends, amazing food and positive spirit.

(The Champagne and wine were wonderful)

In 1788 Robert Burns, a Scotsman, wrote Auld Lang Syne. In 1799 it was set to music. The words touch me deeply. 

Old Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
and old lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
for auld lang syne
we'll take a cup of kindness yet
for auld lang syne.

And surely, you'll buy your pint cup
and surely, I'll buy mine
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
for auld lang syne.

We two have run about the slopes
and picked the daisies fine.
But we've wandered many a weary foot
since auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream
from morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty friend
And give me a hand o' thine
And we'll take a right goodwill draught
for auld lang syne

I send these feelings on to you on this new year.

Please follow your heart and always be happy.

Auld lang Syne in English means: Olden Times.

May you leave 2024 happily behind you and move forward in joy.

Love you beyond the moon. 

Me.

Today I am grateful for a calm day.

2024 was the BEST Christmas ever!

It was not about the gifts, but it was about the moments.

We shared moments with, 

Lauren, Josh, Em....

Jamison & Jared....

Debbi and Lew.

Larry and I do not have a church home right now, 

but a holiday blessing arrived Christmas Eve morning, via text from

FR Jeff at St Andrews Episcopal church in Collierville, TN.

(Thank you Fr Jeff)

The blessing was a heartfelt reminder of what these days are all about.

My heart is filled.

Love you beyond the moon.

Love you beyond the moon.
