“And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at His birth”
Luke 1:14
“Come, thou long expected Jesus,born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,let us find our rest in thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation,hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart”
Charles Wesley
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”
Galatians 2:20
It looks like it’s raining gingko leaves in our downtown area!

The trees are almost bare here in our front yard!
It’s Christmas time at the barn!
Stella and Graham say “Roll Tide and Merry Christmas”!

A cloudy autumn day
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well, for most of us it is…McCoy doesn’t think so!

“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’”
Psalm 122:1
La belleza del otoño y la sensación de serenidad que nos transmite, bueno…menos a McCoy que no piensa lo mismo. La imagen de los niños delante de la chimenea es preciosa. Las hermosas fotos aéreas de los Apalaches, la comida tan sabrosa…hummmm!!!, y como dejar de nombrar el granero tan hermosamente Navideño…
Estas son las cosas que hacen feliz en una mañana lluviosa de Majadahonda (Madrid).
Gracias por transmitir tanta felicidad.
Dolores
The beauty of autumn and the sense of serenity it conveys to us, well … less to McCoy who does not think the same. The picture of the children in front of the fireplace is lovely. The beautiful aerial photos of the Appalachians, the food so tasty … hummmm !!!, and how to stop naming the barn so beautifully Christmas …
These are the things that make you happy on a rainy morning in Majadahonda (Madrid).
Thank you for conveying so much happiness.
Dolores
Hola Dolores, he estado ocupado decorando para Navidad alrededor de nuestra casa y tomar fotos. Suena como un día aburrido en Madrid. Pensando en ti y enviando abrazos! Pam
Hello Dolores,I have been busy decorating for Christmas around our house and taking pictures. It sounds like a dreary day in Madrid. Thinking of you and sending hugs! Pam
Happy Sunday and Roll Tide! Darling pictures of the children, great looking food and how cute the barn looks decorated.
I so hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and wishing you a beauty-filled week!

Wishing you a lovely day to top off what looks like a beautiful long holiday weekend.
Thanks so much. We have had a great time of food, family, and grateful hearts! Blessings and a great week ahead!
Wow, that is a fabulous area of the country. Stunningly gorgeous, as is your house and yard. I didn’t know Ginkgo trees looked like that or that they had yellow leaves. Wonderful.
