Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home.

Merry Christmas, Japra!
Plenty of Joy and Hope, Love, Peace and Health! To you and your dear ones!
Feliz Natal ( in portuguese)! :)

Sandra, Portuguese is such a beautiful and romantic sounding language. Thank you for your Christmas greetings :-) And the same to you!
Oh those words are soooo true! I haven’t spent a Christmas at home in Argentina for a long time now!
Merry Christmas!
Aledys, I keep reminding myself that home is where the heart is. But during the holidays, there’s no place like being back with the family. XO
I bet it feels great. Enjoy every pecan chile blessed minute of your stateside time.
It really does, Maureen. I’ve been fed so much on this trip. I’m going to have to do a lot of walking once we get back to the NL. I’m talking two pecan pies, one banana breeze, four Tex-Mex meals, and on and on. Oh dear!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you, Julia! I hope you are having a “restful” time with your family ;-) I’m looking forward to catching up with you and your photos after the holidays.
Merry Christmas!hope you got from Santa Claus a big bag of health, one bag of happiness, a parcel of dreams, stars in eyes and a box of joy! :-)
I think that is one of the nicest wishes anyone has ever sent! Wishing you the same, friend.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!
Christine, I know you are savoring every minute of the holidays with your wonderful family! I am looking forward to catching up on your activities after the holidays.
Welcome Home. Your Wordless photo says it all! That is one of the prettiest spots from which to photograph our fair city–and a difficult one, too!
You probably think it’s warm, but we have been pretty chilly here lately.
Sorry that I’ve seemed absent…”snowed” under with “volunteer” work.

Mimsy, I took that photo while my father was driving us home from the airport (on 59) last week. I realized I had not posted a shot of Houston from that side before.
I’ve been wondering about you and hoping that you’ve been well. I’m glad to hear it’s just been work that has kept you busy. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family. XOXO
Hi!
I am excited about all I am learning about the family and your travels. It was so incredible to see and hug you guys again! Praise Him whom the season is for.
Hi Michelle, it was great to see you too. Many blessings to you all :-)
