A Light in the Darkness

 


OK, I'll admit it

 I put up my Christmas tree before 

Thanksgiving this year




I was so ready for my home to
sparkle and shimmer
with all the Christmas decorations

Bringing a little light and joy
into a somewhat dark year




to play Christmas carols proclaiming
love, joy and peace


A time to think of others 
especially those in need
and bring a little brightness 
into their Christmas Holiday





A time to count our many blessings
 



And to remember
there is a light that shines through
the darkest of days






Every Little Birdie says:

May your Christmas be Bright and Merry
and the New Year be brimming with hope

Island Time

 What's the Solution to the

COVID BLUES

Time with girlfriends at the BEACH

My sister, Tricia and my friend Cynthia, who's like a sister
I've know her since high school




Getting sand between your toes



Relaxing on the beach

It's the perfect place to social distance

Do a little beach watching




Watch the ships go out






Spend sister time


and just relax

But there is more to Port Aransas than the beach
Hop on to our beach buggy and let's take
a ride around the Island


There's Beach Shops galore



and the Island Candy shop
A Must Stop!!


Beware of the Sharks

and finally our last stop 
Trout Street Condos

 for a little down time at our
"home away from home"


It's a lovely condo but the best part is the 
huge covered porch over looking the marina



The perfect place to kick back
enjoy the ocean breeze
and enjoy the view of the marina



Next to the marina is

Virginia's On The Bay
Only a short walk from the Condo

A great place to sit, eat, and take in the sites







Ahoy Matey
Take a trip on the Island Pirate Ship




Or sit on the dock 

and watch the sunset


There is nothing more calming than
a sunset on the water


Every Little Birdie says
Come to the Island man
and wash away your COVID blues

Grateful in Texas

 I know Texas is not known

for it's glorious fall weather

BUT

After a long hot summer

(which is May-Sept)

We TEXANS are more than grateful

for that first hint of a cool breeze

A chance to sit outside and not feel

like a fried egg

To breathe in air that doesn't 

feel like it's coming from a furnace.....

Well you get the idea!


IT'S FALL IN TEXAS!!

Time to fetch your pumpkins

and start decorating

(The pumpkin decorations make it feel like FALL)

It starts outside








Then moves inside




Then extends to the screened porch







Fall in Texas 
is MIND OVER MATTER
if you don't mind 
that it's still hot outside
than it don't matter!!!!

 Every Little Birdie says

THANKFUL THAT
IT'S FALL Y'ALL!
