Doesn't  this Father and Daughter warm your heart!  For Valentine's Day, this sweet father brought his little princess to tea! They were the most charming pair!

But unfortunately, her daddy did want to give her up! haha!

Here's a fun post on the actors of Downton Abbey! Some actors I hardly recognize in real life and others I'd recognize anywhere! Have fun seeing how many you can name!  Recognize her? (Hope so!)  Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary! How about her?  Phyllis Logan as Mrs. Hughes! (I thought she was tricky!)  How about this Beauty? Laura Carmichael as Edith Crawley  (They've had her beauty hidden for many of the seasons, but I felt she got to shine more in Season 4!)  Recognize this beloved character?  Joanne Froggatt as the darling Anna Bates!  Can you guess who this is??  Cara Theobald as Ivy, the kitchen maid!  (This one took me a while!)  Who's this Fellow? You Guessed it! Mr. Molesley! (Kevin Doyle) Recognize this Little Lady???  Fun Loving (and a little mischievous) cousin Rose! (Lily James) Recognize this smiling face?  Who could forget darling

Happy Valentine's Day Tea Friends! Look at this sweet Valentine's we received!

A Wintery Scene

I'm sure I've told you all before, but I adore Autumn! It is simply my favorite time of year!! Yet sadly, it is over too soon and in comes all too eager Old-Man Winter! In efforts to try and see the bright side to things... I thought I'd share with you my favorite way to enjoy Winter - through pictures! haha! I usually joke that I only like snow on Christmas Day and then I'm ready for some warmth!  Isn't this horse a beauty?  I'd take London any day - Summer or Winter!  This little Village looks inviting!  Being a Kitty-Lover - I couldn't resist not sharing this picture my darling kitty, Gilbert!!!  Ahhh!!! The warmth of a fireside!!  What is your favorite season?  Are you a winter lover or a tolerator like I am?  Stay Warm! Till Next time! 

A Compassionate Note: Breast Cancer Empathy

Today, Pauline, Donna's Mom and Miss Spenser's Grandma, starts her chemotherapy. The chemo is for prevention...all the lymph nodes were clear - Praise God...but we are still sad for her to have to go through this next journey. She cried when she learned she will lose her hair...why does chemo have to take so much away from us??  So hard...makes us sad. But...she is a fighter, a strong woman, one we so admire and we know she will be a trooper as she goes through this. We wanted to let you know, that we are standing behind all of you who are fighters and survivors...holding you up in our thoughts and prayers today.  "...Be Strong, and Courageous. Do not be terrified;  do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God,  will be with you wherever you go."  ~ Joshua 1:9  God Bless You All!
