DON'T MISS THE SUPERMOON THIS WEEKEND!


Hope you get to look outside at the Supermoon this weekend! Apparrently, the moon is closer to the earth tomorrow than it has been in 18 years, causing it to look larger! I went outside & looked at it tonight and to me it didn't look any larger, but it was super-bright!---like a lamp that someone plugged in!---brighter than I've ever seen it! And it had a glow or aura surrounding it! My Mom is the one who phoned me to tell me about it early in the evening and that's when I went outside to see it (Thanks, Mom!). Later, when I was already ready for bed, they had the story about it on the evening news and then I wished I had taken photos of it to post because it looked so cool, but I didn't feel like getting dressed again to go outside.....but....Big D (that's my amazing husband!) immediately offered to run outside & take them (Thanks, Hon!).

So, I really hope you get to see it tomorrow night! It was amazing, even tonight! In the meantime, please enjoy these photos, courtesy of Big D!

Sweet dreams! Patti
P.S.: Click on any of the photos to enlarge. I started experimenting with enlarging my photos tonight (see first photo), but I think now I have to enlarge the width of the post or something, because now that first photo has the moon off to the side, but I guess that isn't really a bad thing after all. Anyway, I'll have to go to some of my favorite blogs, which have tutorials about how to improve your blog and read up on the how-to's!

TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!



I had to share this amazing bouquet with you! I helped a friend with something, and she surprised me with this huge vase of gorgeous roses and other beautiful flowers, which she brought by the office! So totally unexpected! And the scent is absoutely heavenly! (I wish you could smell them!) Thanks again, Tiffany! You are so sweet!

Blue & White Christmas!




It's become a family tradition - we go on the Christmas Tour of Homes in Waxahachie, TX during the holiday season! The decorating is always incredible, and this year was no exception! This tree, decorated in blue and white china, graced the front porch of one of the homes this year. It was just a small taste of the fabulousness inside!

SHOPPING AT NORTHPARK MALL







Northpark Mall in Dallas is one of my favorite places to go shopping, especially during the holidays! The flowers were gorgeous! Hope you're enjoying your Christmas shopping and taking time to smell the roses.....well, or to at least admire the poinsettias!

REASON FOR THE SEASON!


I was over at Mom & Dad's house admiring their new nativity (I've never seen one like it!) and wanted to share it with you! The reason for the season!!! I love the things that remind us of what Christmas is all about.
