"It's a String Thing" #173

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

For the first time in my married life, I can say that our home is decorated for Christmas before December first. The upcoming Florida Arts Tour pushed us to get the house ready in record time.

Our home is now brimming with Christmas cheer and the warm feelings of the season have enveloped us.  It is truly the "most wonderful time of the year."

With all of these happy thoughts, we begin with this simple string ~
