dec. 13, 2019

I'm not sure how to wrap my head around the fact

that it's going to be the year

2020 

in eighteen days.

Now when I say I was born in 1958

it's really going to sound

"last century".

2020 would be a fabulous year to be born or to get 

married in though... it just has a great ring to it doesn't it?

*I've heard that Barbara Walters might do the New Years Eve

ball drop- count down, so she can say

"This is Ba Ba Walters and this is 2020."

I played with light tonight, taking pictures in front

of our Christmas tree, trying to freeze the feeling

that the Christmas season gives me and capture what is 

called bokeh, the blurred effect seen in the

out of focus portion of a photograph.

(I was also trying out a new lens that I haven't 

quite mastered yet and practicing is part of that ).

I decided to upload a few to share. 

There is much to be done in the next week, and

it's feeling really festive around town. 

I didn't do as much "decking" as I used to, but 

less feels like more and I just got out

a few of my favorite things to deck our halls and add 

Christmas cheer to the house and it feels perfect.

2019 was a really good year for our family,

looking back I can't even believe how blessed we were.

Not all years are the ones that you will 

remember that way so 

for that I am triple-y (I made that word up, it's more than

double for you mathematicians out there) thankful.  : ))

Family is coming my way today and we're going to celebrate birthdays

and a very deserved retirement.

woo hoooooo~

Happy Holidays from our house to yours~ xo
