December
Happy New Year dear friends!
This past December started off with a my fun birthday celebration. I love to celebrate all month long!
Christmas Afterglow
After the last ornament is put away, I enjoy strolling through photos I've taken of my Christmas decorations. This brings such joy from decorating and remembering time spent with loved ones. I hope you will enjoy a few, well actually a lot of my many Christmas memories.

Planning our spring getaway
Every spring we plan a vacation to Seaside, along beautiful Highway 30A in the Florida panhandle. Today I'm sharing a pics from a past trip a few years ago. We are in the process of planning this trip for either April or May. Come along to see what I love to do for a fun and restful getaway.
Seaside, Florida
I love to walk in my favorite neighborhoods. Shady and a lovely spot to stop and enjoy a favorite drink or snack
Of course long walks along the beach and shopping for fun tees for lounging
A morning at the beach
After a morning on the beach then strolling through town for a little afternoon shopping
A must visit to my favorite book store
I love these artisan hand painted pieces
We always enjoy dining out at one of our favorites restaurants
Redbar
Atlanta Farmer's Market
When we visited my sister and brother in law in Atlanta one of the places I wanted to go was to the International Farmer's Market. Unlike our southern markets, this market offered foods from different countries. It's always an interesting visit.
A fun place for finding gifts and stockings stuffers
Great bakery selections
Always a nice selection of vegetables
