jubilation

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I'm having a very Merry Christmas with dear friends and delicious food. Have you ever experienced Cherries Jubilee?! It was a first for me. The dish was brought to the dinner table and lit on fire - blue flames fleetingly dancing over the cherries and served over ice cream - absolutely divine.
How wonderful it is to enjoy your friend's family's Christmas traditions? Among the lovely holiday decorations was the Santa hat on Rowdy Girl, a painting I had given to my friends after she passed on a few years ago. Our little angel with her Christmas spirit. precious. 
After the flurry of exchanging presents and blessings of the feast, out came the musical instruments - another family tradition. It was a joy to behold. So much so that I've been inspired to dust off my guitar...maybe a resolution in the coming year is in order.
(did I just say the R word?!)

Wishing All a Lovely Christmas and Happy Holiday

Our area braced for the flash-flooding predicted last Friday through Sunday from Hurricane Patricia. Instead we received a glorious slow and steady soaker of a rain, 7 plus inches.

I love how the weather forces us to slow down to appreciate the simple pleasures.
