{Wishing YOU a Happy 4th Advent 2012!}

All of us will be very busy in the few days before Christmas 2012. Therefore we like to wish You all a Happy 4th Advent Sunday. That is a very short 4th Advent, as we go straight into Christmas Eve! Enjoy this time with family and friends and wishing you safe travels for those that still are in transit to meet with their loved ones. We know how much traffic there was on the road on Friday when we went to Atlanta for stocking up. Stay warm and cozy!
May the Angels keep you and your loved ones safe...

    The time is very near now.... Christmas Eve tomorrow.

    I have a few things to pick up in the morning, perishables mainly and then I don't want to see another shop!!!

    Our roads are busy too but we don't have to contend with winter weather conditions.

    Thinking of you
    much love
    Joyeux Noël

  10. Dear Mariette,
    Beautiful my friend and blessings to you and Pieter for a very Merry Christmas and wonderful new year.
    Thank you for your many visits and kind comments. Yes, the vintage sewing machine if well loved. It still works, but I prefer to retire in now and let my grandmother's hands be the last to sew with her. She gave it to me while she was still with us many years ago. She said, I want to know you have it in your care before I pass on from this world. It will always be well taken care of and has been a blessings to me since she gave it to me back in 1987.

    Thank you also for the remembrance of my mother and dad's 67th wedding anniversary. I know they are always with us in spirit and in heart. So kind of you to remember and make mention of this. You are such a dear and always so thoughtful.

    Christmas love, Celestina Marie

    Hope you will have a peaceful and happy Christmas.
    Here the weather is not so good, it's snowing with strong wind so it is difficult in traffic tonight. The angels are needed there ...
    Hugs to you
