A Little Fall Cleaning

We had the house and the screened porch and decks power washed recently.  It was long overdue, and what a difference it made.  I used Andy from Silverstream (703-929- 6759)

The porch looked so big when all my "accessories" are removed.  I could stand to do a little editing out there.  Love this space!!

Christmas 2012

We had a little snow the day after Christmas--just enough to make it feel like the Christmas Season is here.

It was another wonderful Christmas.  Courtney & Chris were here, and we celebrated both Courtney's and my birthdays.  Our annual Christmas party was fun, and it's always so good to see neighbors and friends.

We open gifts on Christmas Eve (as my family has always done) at Linda's house.  Lauren and her 4 kids makes it very fun--toys for everyone!  Matthew was even home this year, and it was so good to see him. 

On Christmas Day, Bob makes Mother's Norwegian meatballs, and Linda and family come over here for more Christmas cheer.  Lauren's twins are 10 months old, and my house is definitely not babyproofed!  Nyla and Noah are fun, and they are such good babies. 

Christmas at the Kennedy Center

Irving Berlin's White Christmas is playing at the Kennedy Center.  I always loved this movie, and it was such a joy to see it on stage.  Courtney & Chris and Linda went with me to see it, and we all got in the Christmas spirit quickly. 

I also had tickets to The Million Dollar Quartet at the Kennedy Center.  It was absolutely so much fun to see.  Great music from Carl Perkins, Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Louis.  Go see it if you like that music era.  It was fabulous!
