012216_Treasured Gift

“Treasured Gift”

I had lunch with an dear old friend who was in town for a few days. She surprised me with this wonderful gift – a handmade pillow depicting “Downton Abbey” because of our shared love for the show and a copy of a book by one of my favorite authors!!! She obviously knows me so well! I am picturing myself hugging and crying over this beautiful pillow while watching each of the episodes in this final season of the show I love and will miss so much when it is done……and thinking that she is most likely doing the same many miles away!!! And, it will bring happiness to my heart!

“Joy”

I sat in church this morning and couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with joy by the beauty of several floral arrangements that adorned the altar. I believe the flowers were left from a funeral service from earlier in the week.

Taken with my iPhone immediately following the Albion First United Methodist Church service at the Albion Christ Episcopal Church.

NOTE: Today will be the last individual post for this 2016 Daily Photo series. I am really enjoying doing the daily photos and will continue with the series, however, beginning tomorrow, I will save them up and post here just once a week. I will post photos from Monday – Sunday each week every Sunday. I will still post them individually on a daily basis on Instagram and Facebook.

“Keeping Christmas for the Critters”

I found this misshapen, but quite cheerfully decorated, evergreen tree on the edge of the woods along the Albion Eagle Harbor Road this afternoon. It brings some color and joy to the little critters that inhabit the mostly brown woods….and, also for us who pass by!
