T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

this christmas...



I'm thankful for my brother's health. He was on vacation with 8 friends in Phuket. The mini bus they took on a road trip collided with a motorcycle causing the bus to spin and crash into a mud wall. All 9 of them were sent to the hospital and two had surgeries. Now they're all safe and sound and the brother's back resting. He has to do physiotherapies for his back but all is well.

I'm touched by the bride's gift. handmade with lots of love.

I'm stuffed with food from a high tea with mummy and the boy.

I'm surprised by the boy's gift of The Nutcracker ballet. The boy realised that I've missed the show with Clydie because of a wedding dinner and i was fooled once again into thinking that we're having a special dinner. so lo and behold when he opened his wallet and took out the tickets :)

I'm amazed at the ginormous ham that the boy's mum bought.


I'm looking forward to reading the books i got. I finally found Spain: A culinary road trip in Kino!Delicious pictures. delicious food. along with Marley & Me. Letters to Sam and A long way home: Memoirs of a boy soldier.

I'm reminded of Christ's love for us.

and that I'm loved.
