My Christmas Card List by George A. Gladden, Sr. This poem is often included in Christmas letters to friends and I thought you would enjoy it. Best wishes to you and your family for a Very Merry Christmas! My Christmas Card ListBy George A. Gladden, Sr. (1935-2005)I have a list of folks I know, All written in a book, And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a look. That is when I realize These names are all a part, Not of the book they're written in, But of my very heart. For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path sometime, And in that meeting they've become the rhythm in each rhyme. While it may sound fantastic for me to make this claim, I feel that I'm composed of each remembered name. And while you may not be aware of any special link, Just meeting you has cha...

Helping Family MembersDr. Paul McDonald and Kathleen Daniels are co-hosts for the ActiveRain December challenge Acts of Kindness | Sharing Love & Joy This Holiday Season.  The theme for this holiday season challenge is “Acts of Kindness”.  A niece, the daughter of one of my younger sisters, and her family recently sold their townhouse in northern Virginia and moved to Maryland after her husband accepted a new position in Frederick County. I had referred them to a member of ActiveRain to find their new home. I told him there would be no referral commission and just to take good care of my family members. They purchased a single family home and needed some additional furniture. Dolores and I decided to give them a Mario Bellini sofa, loveseat and ottoman and an end table that we had made ...

Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter IPAChef Dolores served pizza for our lunch at home. The beverage selection was Hop Hunter IPA from Sierra Nevada. It was a good choice and I recommend it. Drink responsibly. 6.2% Alc. by Vol. Hop Hunter IPA is the first beer to feature oil from wet hops steam distilled directly in the field, minutes after harvest. We use this pure, powerful hop essence in concert with whole-cone hops in our brew kettle and in our Hop Torpedo to create the ultimate IPA experience.  White Poinsettias, Longwood Gardens,Kennett Square, Pennsylvania USA IMG 2400Canon PowerShot G11 Camera, f/4.5, 1/80 sec., ISO-800, 25 mm, No FlashPhotograph by Roy KelleyRoy and Dolores Kelley Photographs
