South Georgia SNOW

Yeah, I am even laughing at myself for posting our pitiful little snow pics~

You should have been in our house... Blace called (I mean CALLED, not texted~~ a true emergency reason to CALL, not text) ... to tell me it was snowing in Pine Park, about 6 miles east of us. We settled back to watch *Emily of New Moon* ~ happy that she was so overjoyed~ and it began to snow here! I was trying to get a sweater on, grab the camera, call my Mother all at the same time!! Excellent multitasking and a good thing as it stopped not long after it was too dark to do anything but press our noses to the window and watch it slowly change from snow to rain again.

It was so beautiful, feels like a Blessing!

...more Utah snow~

It may have a downside, but from here it looks like poetry in motion!

Thanks Ranes!!

Sky Goes To WORK!!

She spent the morning cleaning this chamber,

getting it stripped and prepared for the next patient!

Naturally she wanted to get IN with the door shut!

(not keen on that myself)

She was a great help actually!

THANKS SKY!

Winter Wonderland!

We can only dream about the snow! To be sure, those in snow are dreaming about the shore! Maybe the snowbirds have it right, come South for the Winter, back North for the Summer. How about the sledding, snowmen and the picture postcard view! Then how about the bright sun on the sand, the shells, the waves? Time and Tide~ and to everything there is a season~

Thomasville Christmas Day

As has been the tradition my entire life, the Dekle bunch gathers for Christmas Day to enjoy each others company, feast, fellowship and play! As a child the gathering was held at my Grandparents, now is at Uncle Waymon and Aunt Carolyns since my Grandmother passed away in 1987. Seated here is my cousin Janice, her husband Randall and son Michael... Then cousin Johnny with his daughter Niki and Granddaughter Brittany!

The only two girls of the Dekle Clan, Thelma and Lois!

Uncle Waymon has a g.r.e.e.n. THUMB!!

His Satsumas are the most delicious in these parts, shown here are his Kumquats!

Carolyn found an extra tie that we could not identify!!

Creative solution!

My Mother, Thelma and I

T.R (cousin Cindy's husband), Aunt Carolyn and Papa John!

We got into the fun game of racing to open a package... that is NOT unwrap friendly, expecially with gloves on and others about to take it all away from you when they get doubles!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!
