I just love all your Christmas trees.....Dear Jeri,<br /><br />I just love all your Christmas trees.. I did not do much decorating this year, and only put up a small table top tree.. I don't know where this year went. <br /><br />I am looking forward to your new book. I know a little one that would love to put it next to her other books of yours. <br /><br />Wishing you and family a blessed Christmas. Thank you for your friendship, Jeri. I am blessed to know you.<br />Sending you a hug<br />PennyAngelsdoor * Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770992037653364805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-27602747747183914072017-12-22T07:08:10.370-08:002017-12-22T07:08:10.370-08:00Mama Bear, you can just copy your old photos right...Mama Bear, you can just copy your old photos right off your own blog.... that's what I did.

I can't wait to get a copy! Yes, blogging seems to be going out of fashion. I get your posts in my e-mail and enjoy reading them even if I don't hop over to comment.

Your sparkling glass fruit is clearly seen in my imagination. <br /> I have high hopes that an open-garden book signing will occur, here in the Hollow in Early summer,it's something I have planned on doing for years; 2018 seems right.

Remember our tall tree?..dispensed with<br />it with Rob gone and you and James not here to pay for your<br />dinner by placing 6 ornaments each on it. I erected the della Robbia tree on the entry chest and the lights shining through the glass fruit casts a lovely glow. Excited about your new book and<br />am already in line for the garden book. Our Children treasure <br />theirs and I will always be grateful they learned the love of reading through your exquisite art and imagination. I suspect you<br />are just tired from the year's activities and that the respite at<br />home over the Winter will restore you... We are holding on tenaciously to your blog...may it and your message ever prevail...<br />Praying the Babe in a manger destined to be the Savior of the World be with us all during this hallowed season.

I get sort of burned out doing art shows the 2 months before CHRISTMAS; all the shows have a secular Christmas theme... it is just tooooo much after a while.I just want to peacefully sit and sip spiced tea as I watch the flames dance in the fireplace...and think about the true meaning of the Holiday for now.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-27411757827326140552017-12-16T19:08:52.052-08:002017-12-16T19:08:52.052-08:00Marie, Yeah, Energy is in short supply this year,...Marie, Yeah, Energy is in short supply this year, My tank is on empty!<br />I will keep blogging as long as people keep reading.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-81382834850050658302017-12-16T19:06:37.359-08:002017-12-16T19:06:37.359-08:00Wendy, It must be terribly difficult for you, havi...Wendy, It must be terribly difficult for you, having lost your parents... I am so sorry. I think some of my dismay lies in the fact, that last year I had a little foster grandchild at Christmastime, and this year he has gone back to his birth mother.
