Our life in retirement no longer has the pressure cooker aspect that I had when the children were at home, our parents were living and I was teaching full time but I certainly remember trying to create a Hallmark Christmas. My Christmas decorations now are a collection of those things I truly love and the Christmas cookies are from John Williams unless the children are here. We also enjoy Christmas party evenings with our friends. We still like to entertain with a Christmas Tea and Carol Singalong and another evening with a few friends for dinner. I love to have the children here to open their gifts and enjoy a weekend of cozy fireplace days of laughter and fun. Like you I treasure those long, quiet days of watching the snowflakes fall and enjoying a good book. I found an article in Horizons, the Presbyterian Women's Magazine about the Christian aspect of Louise Penny's books. With this in mind I am re reading Still Life. I will put a copy of the article in the mail for you. http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=105#comment-10533 Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:09:20 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=105#comment-10533 I enjoyed your quickie book reviews, and will check out a few of them, especially David McCullough. http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=105#comment-10530 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:52:52 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=105#comment-10530 I love reading your monthly blog, and I depend on you for book suggestions! I just finished reading "They Left Us Everything" by Plum Johnson. It is a memoir about four siblings cleaning out their parents house after the death of the last one. It is funny and sometimes sad. I loved the relationship among them so much I have assigned it to my three daughters and asked them to read it before our pending trip to Savannah. It will make for a fun discussion! http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=74#comment-655 Fri, 15 May 2015 19:04:05 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=74#comment-655 Test http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=65#comment-485 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 01:30:13 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=65#comment-485 where oh where http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=67#comment-484 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 01:28:52 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=67#comment-484 where are the comments?? http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=66#comment-456 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:18:24 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=66#comment-456 where are comments?? http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=66#comment-455 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 22:07:55 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=66#comment-455 As always it`s nice to hear from you and catch up on what is happening in your world. I hesitate to write, you are profashional and I lack so much. But I love you as very close friend and know you will overlook my mistakes. We are doing well and enjoying ourselfs. My back keeps me from doing what I might want to do. I can do anything that I can set and do. Keep me posted on any new books!

Looking forward to the Roosevelts too. http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=66#comment-453 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 21:24:50 +0000 http://annsblog.annmccauley.com/?p=66#comment-453 Glad you are back to the keyboard with your minty-fresh diploma nearby!
