“A child has been given, The King of our freedom,
Sing for the light has come…this is Christmas
Come and adore Him, and bring gifts before Him
Joy to the world, worship the Son…this is Christmas”
Hillsong Music
“The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.”

“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’”
Psalm 122:1
Ella Mae is so pretty! I know y’all will have such fun this Christmas with a grand girl to spoil. 🙂 The ginkgo tree sure looks different now, a sure sign that we’ll have winter soon. The dried oranges remind me that I should dry my own with the oranges getting a little old. I hope y’all have a wonderful day! Blessings~.
Thanks my sweet friend, Happy Sunday…it is raining!???
Love to see all your pictures especially the different churches. And of course your Ella Mae is adorable.
Thanks so much, Eleanor for following! Happy Sunday’
Beautiful post, Pam, and I enjoyed the aerial photograph. Your Ella Mae is a joy and I love her smocked dress, just like the little French girls wear. The photograph of the footlands with that golden ray running horizontally is stunning. What a beautiful place to live. ~Ginene
Thanks so much, Ginene! You are so sweet…wishing you a wonder-filled week!
Raining here too. Very happy about that for you also.
Pretty pictures of Ella Mae.
What body of water is that in the aerial photo?
Hi Bonnie, thanks sweet friend…that is the Coosa River that flows right downtown Gadsden!
Your Ella Mae is so precious and a Christmas Angel for all of us to see!! I so adore your pics so much! We love the South and live south of Birmingham. Yesterday, my hubby and I worked in our little town, Helena Christmas Parade amidst the sprinkles but it was still lovely. I love your sweet reminders of our holiday season! Bottega is on my wish list for this next year to experience. Thanks for all you do! Merry Christmas!!
Edith, I love the town of Helena…we live in Gadsden so we are almost neighbors in this big USA. Thanks for your sweet comments about Ella Mae, we are so glad to finally be grandparents. I hope you go to Bottega and wishing you a wonderful week full of joy! Blessings!
It is a special treat to share Sundays with you.
Thanks so much, Linda!
