The Setting Sun Last Evening

  

Here are some pictures I took last evening 

as the sun was 'going down' in the western sky.

 I wanted the setting sun 

in the back of each photo. (The sunset 

was ever-so-much-more colorful 

than the pictures are revealing.)

The gumpaste flowers..where they ended up..

The beautiful cake with the gumpaste topper.

 Ana with the topper and side gumpaste flowers.

 The bride's entrance... escorted by her dad.

 Check the bride's bouquet............. 

Check out the bridesmaids' bouquets around-about

the wedding cake.

They all match.

The Importance of Our Choices Each Day

A lovely wedding we recently attended!

 The setting..

 Quiet wonder..

  

Ready and waiting..

The joining...

 Afterwards...

.......................................

There are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about

if I were going to live only 70 years,

but which I had better bother about very seriously

 if I am going to live forever.

MERE CHRISTIANITY

Saturday....Together..

the setting sun in the west at our place

Earlier today we had our typical Saturday lunch:  baked  potatoes with various toppings, which we ate while watching an old VHS of "This Old House".  This 'old house' in Massachusetts had termites!  We have enjoyed this old program for many years together.

Now we are bustling in the warm kitchen; Christmas music is playing as we visit and make supper. Outdoors the sky is gray and the landscape white. A neighbor family stopped by earlier to deliver a plate of Christmas cookies and wish us a Merry Christmas.
