It's such an inspiration to me and, I'm sure, many others.<BR/>I live primarily in Berlin, Germany. (Just moved there and started blogging earlier this year) I keep thinking, "What can I do here?" It's very different than the US and I don't know German, but I am certain that I must keep searching to find that one area where I can truly help. Thank you for reminding me to keep raising my hand.<BR/>KatieKatie @ makingthishome.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720106984004009369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105607278252204740.post-40059868648768833492008-12-29T22:03:00.000-05:002008-12-29T22:03:00.000-05:00Those paintings are fabulous!

When I lived in the Albany area years ago, I worked in Hudson for several years, so I can picture where the artist lives.

And of course, there will be times when we remember the ones we love the most that we can never hold again, except in our hearts. But we carry on (or as in your case barrel along!!! :D ).<BR/>Much love and praise,<BR/>JanieBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105607278252204740.post-44524238150682738602008-12-29T01:04:00.000-05:002008-12-29T01:04:00.000-05:00looks like we have been in our beachy houses round...looks like we have been in our beachy houses round about the same length of time....absolutely love your wood clad home, it is divine, and the painting is gorgeous <BR/><BR/>SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105607278252204740.post-57862391100507873622008-12-28T23:03:00.000-05:002008-12-28T23:03:00.000-05:00BIG kudos for a wonderful job for the babies!!!!

I got teary today talking about Mr. Magpie's dad (looking at a funny picture of him decorating an outdoor cedar tree that got HUGE) and also my parents who loved Christmas more than Santa Claus does! Mr. Magpie's mother came by for a quickie visit before going to the airport. She had spent Christmas with his sister in a city several hours away. <BR/><BR/>In addition to your dad's birthday which is a very special event, many moons ago, Mr. Magpie and I restated our wedding vows on this day in front of family and closest friends, and then proceeded to go the country club for what I lovingly call a phonebook party... one where everyone in the phonebook and their dog was invited! ;-) We had eloped (long story) and promised we would renew our vows before our loved ones, and it was the party to beat all parties afterwards. Today, I gave one of my best friend's daughters a smaller party to celebrate her upcoming wedding (I'm doing her rehearsal dinner for her, too). So this day is special for us as well. Funny how things like that work, isn't it? Another tie to you! :-)<BR/><BR/>XO,<BR/><BR/>SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105607278252204740.post-57469335102782690162008-12-28T20:51:00.000-05:002008-12-28T20:51:00.000-05:00Wooow!
