Celebration #49: Baked Brie and Hummus


One of my favorite ways to celebrate is to have a casual evening with George watching a good PBS mini-series and eating finger foods like baked brie and hummus. Life's simple pleasures shared with those you love are the best!

Celebration #48: Sisters Since the 70's

We stayed in the Agatha Christie Room of the Sylvia Beach Hotel. I have always wanted to stay there. So, I booked this room in January, and we got it on our calendars. It was a very special time. This was taken on Debbie's actual 50th birthday. Happy Birthday lifelong friend!

This is the first night of our stay at the Sylvia Beach Hotel in Newport, OR. We planned this months in advance, and it was perfect. We went to dinner at the Table of Contents Restaurant downstairs. It was lovely.

I love the little celebrations with my family just as much as the big ones. Paul and I have had tea times on and off for years. He is a teenager now and doesn't want his picture taken for our times. LOL!

Celebration #34: Celebrating a Selfless Man


George's 47th , originally uploaded by carolfoasia.

Terri White used to tell me, "Pray for a selfless man, Carol" when I was single, and God answered my prayer over and above what I would have ever hoped or dreamed for in a husband.

I celebrate my dear husband's 47th birthday. He is kind, gentle, funny, conversational, intellectually stimulating, loves God, loves me, loves our children, and is, oh so, handsome (not to mention TALL!).

Celebration #31: Julie Comes to Oregon

This was a highlight of the whole year. Julie and I spent four glorious days at the Oregon coast, and the weather was perfect! Julie and I have known each other for twelve years now since we met on the Sonlight Forums Boards! Since then, we have continued an online relationship and met in groups many times over the years. We talked, walked, cried, ate, and had a phenomenal time.

Here is the entire celebration: Julie Comes to Oregon!
