Extra Song... for Saturday...one for the kiddies...

...Well, maybe not but even though this is not your
average Christmas Carol, it's one of my favorites...
I wish you all many days of bright light and many nights of soft peacefulness.
However you celebrate this season, may it be filled with
those you love and may we all remember those who
can't be with us...
Have a fun filled weekend before Christmas...finish up that shopping
and get up those lights!!

Song for Friday...My oh My!!!

Today is the day she was born.
Today is the day I remember 33 years ago, a cold, rainy night,
a taxi ride to the hospital.
The night I saw the sweetest face I'd ever seen.
The night I began a journey that has taken
my heart to so many places.
I feel so blessed to know this person...
she's smart, she's beautiful, she's funny, she knows laughter
and she knows love...how to give and how it came to her.
I love you my sweet baby girl...
Happy Birthday....may your 33rd year bring
you a world of adventures!
 
This, one of those songs that reminds me of her...
Have a great weekend all...especially you Aja!!

Out and about...

Yesterday we went into the city to finish up some shopping
and I brought along the camera to capture lights and decor but
ended up focusing (mind the pun!) on all the
lovely old doors around Chinatown.
Maybe next trip in I will be transfixed on my original target,
but for now, I bring you, The Doors...
This is probably my fave...the look and the number!...
 ...reminds me of Harry Potter...
 ...number 1 store for all little Chinatown toys...
 ...Elegance...
 ...door to all things basket...
 ...lucky colour red...
 Imports from far away in Nepal and Tibet...
 ...vintage blue Love...
 ...living in plum...
Global Village...beautiful, ethical things... 
 Time to do some shopping...ciao for now!
