How Sweet The Sound

What's My Question Wednesday

My question today is ...

Do you make New Year's resolutions?

And, if you do, how do you keep up with them?

Do you write them down?

Do you monitor your resolution status?

Did you achieve any of your 2008 resolutions?

Cindy at My Romantic Home is hosting the 2008 Year In Review.  I thought I would review a bit of the pink in my home that I have shared.

Pink, Pink, Pink
What could be better than a year of Pink Saturdays?!

Just What I've Been Looking For

Look what I just ordered!

I've been looked for a monogrammed pillow to go on the bed in our bedroom, and this one is just perfect.  I have rose tapestry decorative pillows on our bed, and this is going to feel "right at home".  I can hardly wait for it to be delivered.  I'll be certain to share a picture so you can see how it looks.

********************************
Be sure to come back tomorrow for What's My Question Wednesday.

Blue Butterfly

Today I am sharing something blue as part of Blue Monday at Smiling Sally.  Please take the time to go visit the other participants.

The weekend before Thanksgiving my guys went to the Biltmore House.  My sweet husband always brings me a surprise when he goes away, and this time he brought me this lovely box and handkerchief.  It is a hinged box, and both wings open to a beautiful enamel box.  The bottom of the box is a lovely mother-of-pearl. The butterfly is four inches at the widest point. The handkerchief was made in Switzerland, and the butterfly is made of exquisite embroidered flowers.

 

Some Children See Him

Some Children See Him
(Click to listen.)

Some children see Him lily white
the infant Jesus born this night
Some children see Him lily white
with tresses soft and fair

Some children see Him bronzed and brown
the Lord of heav'n to earth come down
Some children see Him bronzed and brown
with dark and heavy hair  (with dark and heavy hair!)

Some children see Him almond-eyed
This Saviour whom we kneel beside
Some children see Him almond-eyed
With skin of yellow hue!

Some children see Him dark as they
Sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray
Some children see Him dark as they
And, ah! they love Him so!

The children in each different place
Will see the Baby Jesus' face
Like theirs but bright with heav'nly grace
And filled with holy light!

O lay aside each earthly thing
and with thy heart as offering
Come worship now the infant King
'tis love that's born tonight!

'tis love that's born tonight!

Please visit Spiritual Sunday to fill your heart with joy.

Pink Saturday - December 27

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this beautiful pink piece gifted to me by our very own Susan at Suzie Button Creations.  I think it looks like a beautiful pink snowflake, and I have it hanging in my office so I can look at it every day.  Thank you so much for thinking of me, Suzie.  I will think of you and smile every time I see this.

 

This week we have eight (80) participants in Pink Saturday.  Wow!!!  It seems that so many of us have fun with the color pink.  I hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am.

Please take the time to visit the other participants, and leave them a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other.  I realize there are a lot of participants, and it is time-consuming to visit.  But, you don't have to visit every one all at once - just as you have time over the next few days.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people.  Everyone likes to receive comments on their contributions.

Please remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 5 p.m. EST yesterday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I had a question about the order that people appear on this list, and I want to explain.  I have a database that is sorted by the order in which people started participating in Pink Saturday.  I think this is the most fair way to list the participants.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Get Pink !!!

It's not just a color, it's an attitude.

You are welcome to use the Pink Saturday button to display on your blog.  I've been spotting it on quite a few of your blogs.  Do you have yours yet?  Our numbers are growing. 

Pink Saturday girls are fun.

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this beautiful pink piece gifted to me by our very own Susan at Suzie Button Creations.  I think it looks like a beautiful pink snowflake, and I have it hanging in my office so I can look at it every day.  Thank you so much for thinking of me, Suzie.  I will think of you and smile every time I see this.

 

This week we have eight (80) participants in Pink Saturday.  Wow!!!  It seems that so many of us have fun with the color pink.  I hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am.

Please take the time to visit the other participants, and leave them a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other.  I realize there are a lot of participants, and it is time-consuming to visit.  But, you don't have to visit every one all at once - just as you have time over the next few days.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people.  Everyone likes to receive comments on their contributions.

Please remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 5 p.m. EST yesterday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I had a question about the order that people appear on this list, and I want to explain.  I have a database that is sorted by the order in which people started participating in Pink Saturday.  I think this is the most fair way to list the participants.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

A Sweet Memory

When my husband and I got married, he was in his senior year of college.  He would leave every Sunday evening to go back, and then return to me each Friday evening.  We had a room in my grandmother's home, and I worked until eleven o'clock at night.  I knew that when I got off of work each Friday he would be there waiting for me.

To say we didn't have much money would be an over-statement, but we were rich in love.  My husband was and always has been the most perfect husband there could possibly be for me.

The last day of classes before the Christmas holidays had arrived, and I was glowing in the thought that he would be there waiting for me that night.  And, when I came out of the door from work, he was there and I got a big hug and kiss.  He said that he had got home a little earlier than he expected, and that he had been to see some of his family.

Everything was dark when we arrived at my grandmother's house, and she was asleep in her room.  As we came up the stairs, I began to smell something.  I couldn't imagine what it could be, but it smelled like the outdoors.  I noticed a light was shining beneath our bedroom door, and I thought one of us must have forgot to turn the switch.

But, then I opened the door and saw one of the sweetest sights ever.  My sweet husband had been in the woods to get pine and mistletoe.  He had garlanded our room and our bed with pine, and he had mistletoe hanging on our headboard.  And, what was causing all of the light you ask?  He had a tiny little tree - about two feet tall - atop a table in front of the window.  He had decorated it with several hundred miniature multi-colored lights.  I'm telling you that it glowed.  And, our love glowed.

I think this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.  The memory is one I will savor forever, just like I savor every day with my husband.  He is a gift from God just for me.

Merry Christmas

What's My Question Wednesday and Christmas At Our Home - Day Twenty-Four

My questions for today are ...


Do you prepare a special dinner for Christmas Eve?

What's for dinner?

Do you have company for the holidays?

Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

We're having beef tenderloin, roasted garlic potatoes, roasted asparagus, corn pudding and yeast rolls.  At least, that is my plan.  I have to get busy when I get home from work today.

*************************************************

This is some of our Christmas goodies atop our antique oak bow-front cabinet in our breakfast room.  The Home Made Preserves crock belonged to my grandmother.  And, Santa on the tractor is one we gave my father-in-law many years ago.  He was a tobacco farmer, and he thought this was so fun when we gave it to him.  When my father-in-law passed away, this Santa came home with us.  The Christmas cow, the Christmas pig and Santa riding the pig come out to celebrate the holidays.  It is hard to tell from this picture, but the little girl sitting on the stump is eating a moon-pie and drinking an RC Cola.  My mother always talked about having moon-pies and RC Colas when she was a little girl.  So of course, when we saw this little figure, we had to have it.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

See you tomorrow.

Christmas At Our Home - Day Twenty-Three

Today I am sharing two more of my favorite ornaments on our Santa tree.  I love the way this ones glow in the light.

And, this cute round guy with his curly beard is just to cute not to adore.

********************************
Be sure to come back tomorrow for What's My Question Wednesday.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

See you tomorrow.

Christmas At Our Home - Day Twenty-Two

This picture was taken in our dining room.  And, for the life of me, I can't get a good picture of this.  Oh well, I'm sharing anyway.  This is an antique oak server, and the mirror hanging over it has an oak leaf design.  The candy dish on the left, and the vase on the right were gifts my parents received when they were married.  The pitcher and glasses belonged to my grandmother, and the bowl and pitcher you see reflected in the mirror belonged to my great-grandmother.

This doorknob cover was made for me by a dear family friend when I was about six years old.  I handle it very carefully because it is in very delicate condition.  I think if you look at this fellow, he looks a bit scary.

Ho! Ho! Ho!
See you tomorrow.
