Good evening dear friends...
Hope all is well with you..
Happy New Year to each of you..
I as always am very slow getting to chat with you..
Christmas is over and the new year is here...
The month of January half finished..
But here I am...
We did not celebrate our family Christmas until New Years Day this time..
Our grandson who is studying out in Manitoba could not be here until then and also our oldest son was working..
It gave me another week to get ready which was wonderful as I came down with the shingles on Christmas Day..
But thank the Lord we were still able to have our day together..
Here are some pics...
Above is the kitchen window and below are in our kitchen and family area...
We all really miss our youngest son, Dustin, though..
As you know he lives in Alberta...
Wish it was closer.. xo
My birthday was in December and my dear man bought me a lovely nativity scene from the 60s...
I love it and set it up in my lace cupboard..
The cupboard was bought by my Dad when I was only five and I was so happy when my Mom gave it to me..
The other shelves are full of lace and linens..
anyway..
I also received this lovely Winterberry plant from sweet friends from Florida...
and many other dear gifts from my children...
The livingroom is trimmed and the kids are starting to gather when I remembered to take a few pics...
I was very happy with how this panel turned out..
Terry mounted it on a canvas frame and I sprayed with modge spray many times..
It feels just like a canvas..
Then we decorated it with lights and a garland I bought from Tosh in Prince Edward Island..
Her shop is in Charlottetown..
So lovely!
Dinner was very tasty..
Ham and turkey..
Aren't we all so blessed!
Opening gifts, yankee swap and coffee and dessert...
Such a lovely day...
Thank you Lord .... ❤❤
A few country scenes..
We don't have a lot of snow now but it was here... 😀


Did much more but forgot to take pics..
not really with it lately... sorry...
Actually, I am not really with it yet..
Still a bit under weather so please excuse this short post..
Just so wanted to connect with you all before it was Christmas 2025.
😏
Happy New Year from all of us Henry's
As the new year is here I begin my new year with a new note book..
Terry buys these for me from Staples ..
So nice with 750 pages...
In the mornings when I get up I have my little rituals...
Put the coffee on, do my devotions, light my candle or incense and start my lists...
I always put on a cover from my British Country Living Magazine that I like ..
God bless you sweet readers and thank you so much for dropping by..
Face Book has informed me each day that you have been checking on my page to see if I posted.
I am so sorry... will try to do better..
May God be near us all this year of 2025 and may we draw closer to
Him than we ever have been before..
We are so close to the coming of the Lord.
This is an old song that I love...
Redemption Draweth Nigh
Take care dear hearts and will be back soon..
with a new year post..
Hugs from New Brunswick..
Yes, we are looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ...it could well be the dawning of that day any day now. So much is happening in our world that keeps us "looking up" with great expectation. Meanwhile, we enjoy our loved ones and friends and all that God has provided for us. I see that you are doing the same...such a beautiful gathering of your family for Christmas. Everyone looks very happy to be there together. You are blessed with such a lovely family. Your home is warm and inviting and so pretty in the snow. I loved all the snow pictures. I live in Florida, so we don't get to see snow here, only in pictures! It's been cold enough for snow in the very low 30's (F), but it just doesn't happen here except extremely rarely. We did get frost this morning, however, and it was pretty, just COLD. Prayers for you to feel better soon. Shingles is no fun. Thankfully I haven't had it yet, but my hubby has and others I know, so I've seen how it hurts. Praying you will be better soon and enjoy the rest of your winter days in comfort and peace. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI always wait to see a post from you and I love to read them when you do. Your family gathering looks so cozy and comforting and I,m sure very festive as well. Sorry your under the weather and I hope it gets better soon. As always dear cousin thinking of you often and sending a Happy New Year to you and Terry, xo.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your wonderful post! Everything looks so festive and bright. The table and settings
ReplyDeletelooked terrific. I love the Santa's clustered round, and the banners and dishes. It is not Christmas
withour a post from you! Only you could bring in the geese to help celebrate the season, and a winsome dog to snuggle with too!
I always love your photos so very much!
Faye, you have truly been blessed with a lovely family.
I hope your healing comes quickly and that you feel much better soon.
Prayers & blessings & many hugs for the New Year!
Annie, Ann Austin

ReplyDeleteGlad you and your family were together again for Christmas. Sorry to hear you have shingles. I’ve heard how painful they can be. Praying for your speedy recovery. RHill, TX

ReplyDeleteI hope you’re feeling better. I’ll pray for you. Your Christmas decorations were beautiful, especially the Holy Family under the cloche. I’m going to steal that idea for next Christmas 😊. The goose on the table and the matching napkins were adorable. I also loved the panel and your first guest at the table. You have a lovely family.
Another lovely post! I saw a movie recently called Maud Lewis. Oh I love her art, like Grandma Moses. Look forward to your perspective and such you make cozy look good!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so kind in showing us all those beautiful pictures of your home & family! I look forward to this every year! Hope you are feeling better! You are so talented! May God bless your family in the coming year! Love Donna & Ron
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are involved with the "roofing" business! 😢 Shingles is nasty. I trust you are feeling
ReplyDeletebetter today.
Joys and Blessings
May the Lord grant you rest and complete healing.
I enjoyed your share of photos.
Blessings
Such a beautiful post, Faye. You have such a lovely family and it is such a blessing that you all gather for occasions like this. Loved seeing all of your Christmas decor. The lighted panel is just beautiful! You and Terry make such a great team.
ReplyDeleteYou may have showed before what you do with your notebooks, gluing on a magazine cover, but I had forgotten it. What a wonderful idea!
Your new Nativity is beautiful and what a lovely spot for it in the lace cupboard!
Hope you are recovering from your shingles and that you'll feel much better very soon!
❤️❤️
