Garage Greetings

 Want to know why this is so different?

It's a garage door!

This is the latest Christmas decorating thing around here.

Coffee Corner

 For this Christmas season, I went with a gingerbread theme in several spots around the house. Here is our coffee corner.

My Favorite!!

 This is my favorite Christmas decoration that I have seen so far!! And on our street, around the bend!

Notre Dame

 Did you watch the grand opening of Notre Dame? I didn't even know it was happening till I turned the T.V. on, then I was mesmerized! So for those of you who didn't see it, here you go. Photos are from our T.V. Light show are from the web.

It started with the Archbishop of France knocking on the door three times.

The firemen and rescue workers who worked so hard to put the fire out were honored!

You can see them in the crowd in red in the upper right corner.

The organ is the biggest in the world, with thousands of pipes. Yet they only showed the keyboards!

The altar

Beautiful windows

They spelled out Merci in lights to thank the over 150 countries who had donated money to rebuild it.

My favorite is the light show.

“Beauty is not generic, bland, and clinical. It isn’t all things to all people. The Cathedral of Notre Dame in its endlessly intricate detail was beautiful. Modern office buildings are not.”

Michael J. Knowles

Sunday Sunset

 The birds were flying away in the dying light.

The Catholic Church was having evening mass.

Contrary to the general belief about photography, you don't need bright sunlight: the best moodiest pictures are taken in the dim light of almost dusk, or of rainy days.

Wallpaper

 Do you get a slideshow of beautiful photos for your computer wallpaper? I love mine, you never know what you will see. Here is my favorite so far.

Bee Mine

 Our youngest granddaughter, Jazz, made these bees and flowers from Lego-like blocks. It came with the cover. And it is mine now! I don't know how the kids can do these tiny and complicated things.

The two little bees are very cute and pop-eyed.

There is even a piece of honeycomb!

And a little fence around the flowers.
