HAPPY NEW YEAR

My motto for 2009 is

THINGS GO BETTER WITH "GOD."

Chiquita and Christmas

This photo is in the cartoon effect.

Now she's in the spotlight

Birds are supposed to like being in trees, right? Well, Chiquita is afraid of the Christmas tree.

What Christmas Means to Me

Why did Jesus leave heaven to be born as a baby? There is a song entitled "Love Came Down at Christmas." It is true. Jesus loves us so much He doesn't want us to have to pay the penalty for our sins. Instead He chose to suffer and die in our place to make it possible for us to live forever. And best of all, He's coming back to get all of us who accept His sacrifice in our place. How can we not love Him and live for Him in return?

Jesus knows me, this I love!

Our Sabbath Walk

Today I was into mosses on trees as you can see.
They're much prettier enlarged.

New Look

This is our living room now with furniture re-arranged.

Christmas at Our House

Notice our new floor.

A California Snow Day

Our neighbor's yard.

Our camellia bushes are supposed to withstand frost.

Our backyard

It all melted by noon but was beautiful while it lasted.

Happy Sabbath

Mark 2:28
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Pumpkin Time

Our neighbors across the street provide the best photo opportunities!
