1st annual snow retreat

It was not difficult to clear the calendar . . .

Christmas comes but once a year .. .
and ice fountains even less often. . .

The welcome at Sweet Dreams was warm and inviting . . .

Time with family will come tomorrow . .
time with friends has its own value . . .
to love and be loved . . .
to be encouraged ..
and to . .
encourage.

Time to reflect . .
and to imagine that first Christmas morning . .

Surrounded by beauty and warmth . .

One day. .
I will celebrate the birth of Christ. .
in my Heavenly home . .
Every now and then. .
we are given a glimpse of Heaven . .

A room prepared with us in mind . .

A peaceful place with not a worry or care . . .


A night so still . . .so calm . .

We had a wonderful time with our friends
Richard and Dorothy,
and
Todd, Nancy and their little guy Ethan.


When the invitation said. . .come to a pajama party ..
we took it to heart.

Ethan wore his pajamas. . .

I've purchased a lot of cozy sleepers this year . ..
but none as big as the ones we bought on our date last week.
Can we all agree. . .that my beloved is the best sport around?
Sweet dreams everyone. .
I'll be back tomorrow . .. .
all for now, with love . . .

  2. This post was almost magical! The Christmas lights are warming, the decor is inviting, and the suite is soothing...and relaxing. When you throw in the fun of wearing footed sleepers, it's almost like being a child again! Very magical, indeed!

    I wish for you and yours a very peaceful and blessed Christmas!

  6. How special is that? What a great way to enter the Christmas week...on a snow retreat with friends in a most magical place...in slipper jammies (as my granddaughter calls them).

    I must show Spencer the photo of you guys in your jammies...she wears slipper jammies year round...and is always afraid that they won't find any new ones big enough for her.

    Merry Christmas, Lovella & Terry!
