Find Your Book

Again with this time of year. If you are lucky enough to work in a school, winter means snow days! Have that book ready to go. The possibility of a snow day starts the mind wondering what to do with the time. Cooking, creating or just plain reading and spending the day in bed. What is your favorite snow day acitivity? The last day we had snow I finished a book called, "The Shadow of The Wind". If you need a great book this was wonderful. It felt like I lost a friend when this books was over. That friends is a good book!!!!

We are practicing and honing our skills in preparation. The tension is in the air. Prep Prep Prep for a night of laughs, good food and good wine. Set a date, send an e-invite make it fun....the possibilities are endless. Wait until you see the fun you are going to have!!!

Inspiring Beauty Indoors

The winters here on the East Coast are so very gray and dark. Here in the Philadelphia area there is an inspirational place to visit. When it is time to recharge and feel uplifted the place to go is Longwood Gardens. In the winter months, when gardening is so far from my mind, simply visiting Longwood is like a breath of summer air. The holidays are particularly beautiful both inside and out. Indoors are many holiday displays strolling carolers dressed in old english attire,
and outdoors there are wonderful holiday lights and holiday music. Enjoy these beautiful photos taken by my Mom on her most recent trip this past December.
