Buon Natale!

I can't even remember when was the last time I was just a mother and take care of the house without thinking of work. It's been months ....not enough time to spend with the boys and Deano. The boys and I went to the creek Sunday...a 6 miles walk, beautiful (images on the last post) so much peace. While Dean was driving for work up in Oregon. He is back now and yesterday we spent the day together! So much needed time. Today we are cleaning and organizing and cooking. Fun! I could not ask for a better week with my family! We do forget how precious these times are, don't we?

I LOVE ME SOME RED!!!!




Ciao for now
Rita

  4. Oh how I love your red decorations! When we had our big home in Moreno Valley I would deck it out with red white and apple green. Since we've moved 4 times in the past 5 years, and unfortunately it's always been in December plus the apartments are tiny, I haven't had a chance to decorate. This year I began to collect a few Christmas goodies in my favorite aqua color for a vignette of vintage silver and aqua. I quickly realized that I needed to incorporate the red in there somehow or it just wouldn't seem Christmasy enough for me. I love red!
    I'm so glad you're having a great December enjoying your bella famiglia!!!

    Ti mando un forte abbraccio,
    Irma
