Thank you SO very much Brenda! I’ve had the most incredible month! So we are all happy in the lanai today!

Well....Anne is still a little aloof but she’ll come around!

Hi Miss Lavender Dreams,

It's way too warm for our liking. But it's dark and stormy so that sorta makes up for the temps. It's snowing in New England (wish we were there).

We are having lots of fun, enjoying all the decorations and traditions that mean so much to us.

Merry Christmas.

Heaps of Hugs

Big Hugs to you and Merry Christmas

There's something about that elf that would make me a little afraid not to kiss him! ;-) Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. We're supposed to have an unseasonable 35 degrees and only a trace of snow on the ground. Love it!

The lanai and Florida sunshine does look so appealing!!

The elf is so cute sitting there. It is quite cool here this morning with a low of 29*. Our afternoons have been right around normal - mid 50's.
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!

Vee said...

Eighty degrees? Wow! No, it was warmer and now it's back down to "normal." Sweet little elf. I'm sure that he looks forward to his daily kiss!

Unknown said...

HEHE, Diane! Don't you just LOVE him?!!! Brenda's work is amazing!
It is very unseasonably warm right now but we look to get a cool down soon! Enjoy it while you can!

Your elf is adorable. We're disappointed to have such a green Christmas in West MI. It's definitely warmer than usual.

Have a blessed Christmas!

Your Elf from Brenda looks perfect in your lanai. Enjoy your tropical weather.

Happy Christmas Diane

This glorious Florida sunshine is so welcoming. It is equally as beautiful here at Indian Rocks Beach.
We are truly blessed.
Happy Christmas. Thank you for your inspiring blogs, friendship and comments.

Dear Lavender Dreamer,

We here in Minnesota have NO SNOW and the temps are most definitely warmer than usual!!! YES, I am enjoying all the glitter and tinsel and beauty of this one time when we can come together to STOP and wonder, WONDER at the LOVE from which we all are born.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING! Anita

Brenda Pruitt said...

How cute! Merry Christmas!

Cobalt Violet said...

80 sounds lovely but I can't complain, it's 55 at 7:20pm and is supposed to be 74 tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!! :)

Pam B said...

Diane, you crack me up! LOL

Love your elf...in fact, I think he should have come to my house instead. But I have to admit that he looks quite at home in the lanai.

It's a chilly 25 degrees here in Idaho right now. We're expecting a messy weekend; the weathermen apparently have no idea what it's going to do outside, only that it's going to be cold and wet. The forecasts range from rain, to icy mix, to snow.

Since there's already snow on the ground, I hope that means that we'll definitely have a white Christmas. It will be my first, you know!

Hugs,
Pam

It has been warm up til this morning when some nasty north wind blew in and just about blew me and Tinkerbell to Kansas. haha
Love your new Elf. How cute!
Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas dear friend

Congratulations on your winnings! Everything looks so festive, despite your warm weather! It's chilly here, but thankfully we didn't get that white stuff that is scary to drive in, LOL!

Sheila said...

We are experiencing very unusual weather. It was wonderful to be walking along ice and snow free pavement as we picked up the last few items for Christmas dinner! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
