I liked this antique card and relevant message, Elizabeth. I am thankful not to face the idea of shoveling snow nor clearing windshield for trips to and from work. It would be pretty to see snow for a day or two. 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful holiday.

I love snow at Christmas, but it can be quite a trial for those having to drive to work each morning. I know as I did it for many, many years. Now I will enjoy a sunny warm Christmas. lol.

Although we are not always in contact I feel I have “known” you for awhile. It is funny but I remember when we were in closer contact. I hope in 2016 to get back to that point. Blessings to you in the new year, Elizabeth.

Totally love the picture!!!! Who’s the talented artist???? Hope it WAS a great Xmas for you, Elizabeth!! I have been “compute-free” for a few days and have actually enjoyed some “down-time” from the “little screen”…Has been cold here, but we’re actually enjoying it. My siblings got hammered with snow for Xmas and I have to admit, I was a little “jealous”. I love PLAYING in it, but not “living in it”! Have a great 2016, little Buddy! Hopefully, you’re settled into your “new digs” and enjoying your new home! ❤

Hi, Lucie,We have that in common. I also LOVE playing in the snow, but I’m not so fond of driving around in it. 😀 Thanks for the good wishes. Right back at ya! I have no idea who the artist of the vintage card is, but wish I had that kind of talent. I am pretty much settled, now if my hubby ever gets here it will be home. Right now I have a house full of relatives and I’m lovin’ it. Take care, my friend. 🙂 ❤

Bonjour Elizabeth
Mon premier passage sur ton blog
Vois-tu il y a des jours sur un simple sourire
On peux rendre la vie plus belle
Si le mien de sourire peux te faire cet effet
Alors je reviendrais encore tant faire
C’est une envie de te faire plaisir et t’offrir du bonheur
Je t’envoie une grosse envolée de bisous d’amitié
Bonne et agréable journée Bernard
