HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ 2016

My memory card for my camera became damaged and unusable.  Finally got a new one from the internet. 
~~Soooo...drum rolllll~~

Here is my BIG snow flake for our front door
with our 'S'  monogram.
I painted it white and added German Glass Glitter.

* * *
I want to get a picture of it at night time, hopefully to show the sparkling glitter in a better night light. 
Hope it works..

Anyways...

WISHING ALL
A BLESSED  2016
with much Health & Peace


***GOD BLESS AMERICA***


Chuck, Barb and Sandy

P.S. Here it is in the night light...



 and to all a "Good Night & Happy New Year"...

IT IS TOTALLY QUIET...

We celebrated Christmas afternoon with our 3 youngest grandchildren... 
Kohana 7 1/2, Kylie 5 and Kolton 3.  
Up until this moment it was NEVER quiet.  
Then Papa said it was time for his ice cream... 
They all 4 joined together to enjoy Papa 
and his nightly ritual of ice cream.

 Our Family enjoyed a most 
Blessed & Merry Christmas.

Hope you did too,

Peace to all and God Bless America,
Barb

Here she is with her tree...

This year our Sandy decorated our 
Tree totally by herself.  
Yes, Dad set it up and she had help draping 
the 30'+ popcorn garland as it was 
too much for one person to handle,
she then decorated with most of 
our 'Memories Ornaments'.

 ALL BY HERSELF,
WHAT AN AWESOME JOB AT THAT.
It is the most beautiful Tree we have ever had. 

 There are ornaments that my Father had on their 
tree back in Hawthorne, N.Y.  
He and his sister would toss them 
back and forth playing catch with the kugels.
There are ornaments from my childhood 
some from Poland, of course my favorites.
Then there are those from Sandy's childhood 
and our other three children,
 Michael, Sondra(Sandy), Pamela and Jeffrey.
Of course, from our first year of marriage, 
 before the children, are there too.
 ~ ~ ~
The entry to our home is very festive... 

Remember, we live in Apple Valley, California,
The Mojave Desert.

Now you are getting closer to  our Front Door

YUP, you are there...
WELCOME !
Please come on in for some 
hot toddy' & 'treats' 
of all kinds.
OR
you can sit a spell and enjoy the lights and weather... 
NO SNOW
but, we are hoping and praying to get some.
~ ~ ~ 
Just one more addition as I ordered a huge laser cut
snow flakewith a "S" monogram in the center.  
I need to paint it and add German glass glitter.  
It  will then be hung on the door.
Probably the closest we will get for snow.
I will post that NEXT, when it will then ready 
to be a part of the celebration.

Thanks so much for visiting...
Peace to ALL  
&
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Sandy trimmed the tree too

It is wonderful to have our helper,Sandy, this time of year.
Actually, we are blessed to have her all year long.

We will take photos with Sandy when 
the tree is lit tonight.  Sandy's chair looks so empty.
She is enjoying her day at IBP, a program she 
attends 5 days a week.
Today is 'bowling day' and our 'Bowling Queen' will be home soon sitting in  her favorite chair posing for Christmas Photos. 

TTYL...
