Welcome to the Season of Light

We played in the cold Friday night in Lupeni's park,
its newly lit Christmas tree blazing in the background.



"Light your candles quietly, such candles as you possess, wherever you are."

Alfred Delp



Last evening we lit the first of our Advent candles, welcoming the season of light with glad hearts and expectation. From an unlikely source (Uncle Rock?) we enjoyed this song's thoughtful lyrics for child and grownup alike:
The Season of Light is when we see the way...heyho look to the sky.
How we receive love when we give it away...heyho look to the sky.

Coming soon I hope: track to listen to.
(The Season of Light, Uncle Rock, Uncle Rock U.)

All of this technology is so fascinating! I love being able to see what you are all up to. And you are so speedy in your postings! I am still scrapbooking 2006! I am always at a loss as to the quickest way to get ahold of you all...for some reason you are not in my e-mail address book.Perhaps because that hasn't been updated since 2006 either!!! In any case, wanted to let you know Susan is going in for her third and hopefully final open heart surgery on Dec.17th. We have been talking about it for six years and they say now is the time. Also wanted to let you know that I am planning a surprise 40th for Rick Jan 17th if you just happen to be in the states:) If you can't make an appearance in person I am collecting photos, stories and remembrances from his past if you have something to add. You may be geographically far from us but you are a source of regular conversation in our house. The boys would like to visit Romania! Me too but I think during the warm season! Your faces sure look cold but it doesn't seem your hearts could get any warmer or fuller. Love to you all from our house to yours! Linda

Oh, I how love seeing your smiling faces. Has Briana discovered the joy of taking photos with her tongue out? :)
