I love the "river" song too and sarah's version. I haven't heard the rest of the album but I can imagine they are all awesome on there. Christmas looks so beautiful at your place. xo ~LiliLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968489244660242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-53892512536834327452011-12-14T13:37:01.531-05:002011-12-14T13:37:01.531-05:00Oh Kate, your trees are so lovely!!!

My husband brought me flowers and chocolates last night... And I'm beginning to feel a little more like celebrating the season... I'm so happy to see your beautiful trees, and all the little signs of Christmas in your home. <br /><br />I'm off to the iTunes store to check out that Sarah McLaughlin album. And 6400? I'm so jealous! Mine only goes to 3200... :). xoxoMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-38165617331310235452011-12-14T12:06:02.096-05:002011-12-14T12:06:02.096-05:00Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh that last photo.

I especially love the last two photos in this post. I made a CD of my own also. Two of my favorites are 'Christmas Wrapping' by the Waitresses. And Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas is You'. And 'O Holy Night' by anyone. Every year I say I am not going to bother with a tree because I am alone, but when I see the real trees I always have to have one. I need to decorate it now.Jan's camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804645068301942243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-17702241090890726292011-12-13T15:44:26.555-05:002011-12-13T15:44:26.555-05:00Yes, he's giving you the eye.

I always have a calm serene feeling and feel like I am somehow cozied up on your couch having tea, listening to your stories in person. Thank you for sharing so much with us bloggers!<br /><br />I am sorry about your photos something similar happened to me once and now I have the most ridiculously over the top double back up routine ever - we never learn until it is too late. I will hope for the Christmas computer miracle. Do you happen to have a Mac? I just signed up for iCloud storage through them (and I back up to a hardrive once a month) and the harddive stays at my parents house most of the time.<br /><br />Good luck!michellehttp://www.typicallibra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-2184611554657695562011-12-13T12:37:22.801-05:002011-12-13T12:37:22.801-05:00Aw Kate - I was hoping to hear they had been able ...Aw Kate - I was hoping to hear they had been able to retrieve the photos. Still got my fingers crossed for ya! I discovered the other day that I am missing all the photos from a a particular day a couple years ago - a very good day. I have the photos taken the days and weeks before and after, but this day - nada. Frustrating.<br /><br />We got a tree this year cause all the kids and grands will be here with us, but years when we are away on Christmas day, it seems like a lot of trouble. I always feel like we have given in to some "old people" thing if we don't have one though - LOL. Better to get one I guess. Yours are so lovely - have a great Christmas!Donalynhttp://dlynz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-15844020875843724592011-12-13T11:03:30.318-05:002011-12-13T11:03:30.318-05:00sighsighLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626678045896424852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-57824940223916504002011-12-13T10:15:36.027-05:002011-12-13T10:15:36.027-05:00he is watching you for sure!

Your trees are beautiful, and your ever-watchful George is adorable. Any photograph with George makes me smile. I love the last photo, too. It makes me think of Christmases past.<br />Merry Christmas to you, your husband and George.<br /><br />Hugs from FL<br />xoxo<br />DonnaBrynwood Needleworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025334306730418679noreply@blogger.com
