"BOXES"

The theme this week by Kathy is "Boxes". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration.

The reason we have this theme is Boxing Day in the United Kingdom. I'm sure Mac will explain what it is. I decided to show my grand daughter with some of the Christmas boxes we gave her. She had a great smile for the header.

I decided to show the BOX deliverer from my daughters house. She has quite the display.

They are so colorful.

They are from all around the world.

"Holiday Preparations"

The theme this week by Lew is "Holiday Preparations". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that. 

My, I wonder what holiday Lew was thinking about. We have had several birthdays and a graduation. Our grand daughter Becah graduated from Kent State. The restaurant where she had her party was ready for the holidays.

 She had decorated her cap to thank her parent for paying her way through.

She was having a fun day.

My wife does the holiday preparations in our house. She does a great job. She has set up a wrapping table in the family room and has been quite busy. Here are some of the results.

She does a great job on the wrapping.

The present pile will continue to grow.

Our local pub has it's own special holiday preparations. The moose has special job. 

Here is a down town gazebo with holiday lights.

Mac and I worked with Sky Watch Friday a few years back so I enjoy sky photos of the clouds. My header is clouds in the early morning.

Here is a close-up of the top cloud.

Clouds with a flag in the sky last night.

We have gone into the gray time with cloudless skies but  last night was a special time.

Here is the absence of clouds, do you see a heart with an alien to the right?

The lake always give clouds with a lot of beauty.

This was a special cloud formation day.

What an unusual subject. It is the season for sparkling things so I used our Christmas decor for the sparkles they produce. My wife made this sparkly decoration. She is talented.

Here is a sparkly star at the top of the tree.

 Here is a silver ball with sparkly silver garland. 

 Here is a red ball with sparkly red garland.

Here is our window candle,

and another sparkly view.
