my adorable parents 1949

On New Year's Eve they will be celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary!

December 31, 1949 - December 31, 2009

WOW!

Christmas Eve - Florida style

Lobster, clams, corn and potatoes! Yummy!

Many thanks to our new friends for inviting us!

2009

Sending you some Christmas Cheer, Boy we’ve had a crazy year!
January with Em and Beth, Mexico house a happy mess.
February we bought boogie boards, while in the northwest it just poured.
In March the Primavera’s bloomed, going home, all too soon.
April back in Oregon, seemed like we were never gone.
The month of May left little doubt, what spring flowers are about.
It was June that changed our life, Florida real estate in strife.
We thought in July, why not southern US try.
In August we went back, to foreclosures beat a track.
The right house came in September, trust the universe: remember!
October was at the crazy most, leave our belov'd west coast?
November dawned and it was clear, return to Florida was quite near.
Gifts of December almost here, one blessed grandchild will appear.
This holiday season we are extremely grateful, for life, love, family and friends ever faithful.
And we want to let you know, the guest room is painted and ready to go……

Love,

Deborah and Willie

this winters night

Light is returning

Even though this is the darkest hour
No one can hold back the dawn

Let's keep it burning
Let's keep the light of hope alive
Make safe our journey through the storm


One planet is turning
Circles on her path around the Sun
Earth Mother is calling her children home
