I will always love you.

I miss you.

Know that you will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten.

“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

This is what we have been up to the last few months.

With the fall, comes playing in leaves and Trick or Treating!

 We celebrate Grandma's birthday - 93 years :)

 Tea parties and "slumber" parties

 

Lots of snow!

and when it's too cold to play outside, the snow comes inside!

 

Happy Hanukkah.

Visit with Santa

Merry Christmas!

 Hope you all have a wonderful new year

I ♥ Fall

Each Day is an Entirely New Creation - Enjoy it!  (just saying...☺)
Autumn really is a BEAUTIFUL season. The colours, scents, the crunch and the rustle of leaves. I LOVE it! 

some favourites  - colourful leaves to jump in, pumpkin patches, hayrides, hot apple cider, trick-or-treating, sweaters, cozy blanket....

What are your favourite things about this season?

Have a blessed day!

quotes for today....

"Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." ~ George Eliot

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made.  The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air." ` Eric Sloane
