Georgia Friends Coming to Music City, USA
I am so excited to be getting ready for some of my closest friends in the world to come this weekend!! My mom and sister are coming and I always love when I get to spend time with them. But also Cleo, Charlotte and her daughter Mandy are coming. These are friends I grew up with in Peachtree City, Georgia. Charlotte gave me my lingerie shower 23 years ago when I was getting married, and Mandy and Courtney were my flower/rice girls at my wedding. They are also my travelling buddies. Charlotte loves to travel and see the whole world like I do. She likes to see it all and do it all while having fun too! And she is a wonderful travel guide, making sure all things are done right! I know you have heard me mention Cleo. She is also a smart, fun, and classy Texas lady who is also the country music lover of the group. Lots for her to see here in Music City, USA

A Jane Austen Christmas
Here is a little peek into some delightful fun. Our Jane Austen Christmas Recitation Get Together.
Jane kept an eye on things perched over gingerbread cookies in her likeness, yummy little lady sandwiches, sour cream pound cake with Elizabethan lemon curd. Elaine even made some meat 'pasties' that were delicious! Two whole pots of blueberry bliss tea, a table full of paper packages lovingly tied up with ribbon and string.
We all read from our favorite books and/or journals with favorite Jane Austen quotes, favorite tidbits from Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Goudge, Tasha Tudor, C.S. Lewis, Christopher Morley and Longfellow.

Visions of Sugarplums!
Last night was Kimberly and Truman's annual Christmas party! We had a wonderful time visiting with old friends from college days and with new. Kimberly had the house decorated like a Christmas dream!! When I walked into the dining room for some of her yummy desserts and appetizers, I looked up, and woven and hanging through the chandelier were beautiful glittered glass treats! The first thing that came to mind were, "visions of sugarplums dancing in my head" from the book 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.' It was truly lovely.
Mostly though, Kimberly always makes her guests feel welcome and at home. I told her on our shopping trip to Birmingham that she is a 'giver.' That is her gift. She gives and gives to delight others.
Last night it was a delight to be in their home for a night of cheer!

My Adorable Class
These are my adorable Wednesday night Bible class kids!They are sweet, really funny, cute, so helpful, still climb on the tables, hide under the tables, love to color, love to listen, love to sing and LOVE to talk and tell me the FUNNIEST stories that I know would cause their parents to blush!
They bless me every week!
I was missing two more boys and one more girl who were absent. It can get wild and crazy in there!
Aren't they cute?!

Amy Grant & Friends at Lipscomb's Lighting of the Green
Tonight was the 4th annual Lipscomb University "Lighting of the Green" with Amy Grant and friends!It was the best yet, even though we were bundled up like eskimos!
It truly feels like Christmas now!
Savannah's chorus has sung back-up for Amy Grant for the past few years and it just gets better and better!
They practice the day before with her and her guests and she is always very kind to them. The Nashville Pipe and Drum also marched in and finished the program off. There is just something about bagpipes that is so moving.
