Friday is always the time for Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday Five. So, come along with me and I will tell you about five things that happened recently.
1. First of all I have to mention San Bernardino and the terrorist attack there and other terrible things that are going on in this world. It all concerns me greatly, that we as a great nation have come to this, people attacking us, killing us, changing who we are and what we stand for. I just pray alot these days.
2. I have my apartment decorated. The space is small so my decorating is limited but I like what I have, it's easy to store and easy for me to get out, put in place and then put it back in storage again. I do like life more simple these days.
4. I love the way I feel coming out of the church doors after service and I hear the hymns being played from the bell tower. The sound just rings out over the town and in my heart.
5. Yesterday was filled with activity. At 10 I went to my quilt bee Christmas party. Here the gals are beginning to find their places.We had lots of fun.
and at 3 I went to a Christmas open house. (no pictures taken there). So, I was ready for bed very early last night.
Hope all of you are filled with Christmas cheer.

3. Yesterday would have been my and Elbert's 65th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, he left this world for a better place shortly after our 60th. This picture was taken right after we got married.
and at our 50th wedding anniversary party.

wonderful photos of you and elbert...i imagine yesterday was a hard day for you but i hope your happy memories helped...your apartment looks great, i prefer simplicity anyway! #4 made me think of going to church as a little girl with my grandma...funny, i can remember sitting in sunday school and painting plaster paris church windows and the smell of that little room! thank you for linking latane and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Your little apartment is so cozy and pretty! Love your tree and the cloth under it. Nice pictures of you and Elbert. I agree with you about the feeling you get leaving church and hearing the hymns ring out! You are a busy girl! Enjoy making new memories!
ReplyDeleteLovely...what a handsome couple!
ReplyDeleteHi Latane! I love, love, love your sweet and cozy home! I think it is so inviting....bravo! What a lovely anniversary picture, along with two young sweethearts...what a true blessing! You amaze me with all of your activities...such a wonderful post! hugs....
ReplyDeleteLove your decorations! That's such a nice table! Love you getting to hear the church bells too. Great Christmasy post! And Anniversary post for you & Dad. Love the photos you shared. Dad was sweet guy....I know how much you must miss him especially on these special days. Love you! Yes, this is a difficult time for our country and hard to not be weighed down with all the evil and sadness. We all need to be praying a lot!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas decorations are lovely. And, I so enjoyed seeing your beautiful photos of you and your dear one. Looks like you have had a fun week. Enjoy your weekend, Pat
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you didn't get to have more anniversaries, but I am glad that you did get so many! You were obviously very happy together. xx
ReplyDeleteYou have decorated beautifully. What a gorgeous couple...you and your beloved look like movie stars, angels, the hero and heroine of a novel. So sweet. It is not easy to go on alone, but your beloved would be very proud of you for embracing life and living it. Nothing honors him more.
ReplyDeleteYou and Elbert made quite the couple.
ReplyDeleteYour place looks so festive!
ReplyDeleteA lovely small Christmas place and sweet memories (I recognize you at the youth photo). I pray for peace too, we have a very difficult time in Europe in this year...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Christmas time
Ilove the songs pealing from the bells too! Your apartment looks Christmas-sy and cozy!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so special! I love the centerpiece on your table....how elegant! and what a precious post...you and your hubby are so good looking, just a beautiful couple....someday together again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cutwork tablecloth! I like your decorations. Everything neat and tidy, and glad it's easy for you to do it yourself. Each year I take out fewer and fewer things, pass more along to our daughter. You made a lovely couple, glad you had 60 years together. I guess you were all Christmas-partied out. :) It's a busy time of year. Love your header, the reds and gold.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing five things that have been, and are, a part of what makes you 'you'.
ReplyDeleteLatane, the quilt bee party sounds fun. My sister quilts also, and knits and crochets. 60 years - that's wonderful! What a beautiful picture of you and your husband. I'm looking around at your home, and I love your dark wood furniture. With all the white shabby looking stuff around, it's nice to see someone with traditional furniture. I love it, and think I always will.
