Why "Traveller's Joy" ?
When I started this blog in May 2007,
it was for the sole purpose
of staying in touch
with friends and family while
we traveled
to Europe for three months.
I am still staying in touch.
"Traveller's Joy" clematis vitalba:
Wildflower found throughout
southwest Europe/Africa.
Used for medicinal purposes
and found "climbing and covering"
the roadsides of Europe.

....................................
We spend January 1
walking through our lives,
room by room,
drawing up a list of work to be done,
cracks to be patched.
Maybe this year,
to balance the list,
we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...
not looking for flaws,
but for potential.

I love Christmas carols, especially Carol of the Bells and I have fond memories of singing Come, oh come, Emmanuel in the choir loft as a kid as well as the other traditional ones.
Our food tradition has evolved over the years since we usually celebrate with our kids instead of the huge extended family gatherings we attended as kids. It wouldn't be Christmas without a Heavenly Ham and then Mike making his famous, secret recipe, potato soup with the bone!
Sometime we will watch A Christmas Story so we can laugh together. (You'll shoot your eye out!)~Ruth
Favorite Holiday song-toss up between "do you hear what I hear?" and Carol of the bells by Mannheim steamroller.
Favorite snack for Christmas is probably the homemade caramel corn that my sister makes every year, and each year she complains just a smidge more about how long it takes to make it.
Favorite activity-last year I sang in the church choir and that was cool, but I would have to say going to my mom's house for "family day" which is close to christmas and having almost everone or everyone there and it is super noisy and crazy and we play a lot of games that usually involve yelling. Then I go home to my quiet house.
