Mayo Clinic Music Fun | Video

You have to promise me that you will watch this video of a charming older couple playing the piano in the atrium of the Mayo Clinic. They are proof positive that music keeps you young. The gentleman is 90 years old. They are so cute together. You will feel very happy and energized enough to get through the busy day ahead too. Enjoy, Rosemary

PS...Here is an interview with these Octogenarian Idols that appeared on Good Morning America. Please share.

Gift Bags I Made Last Year

Last year I made these fabric gift bags for some hard-to-wrap presents. Sometimes I even impress myself. I'm not doing anything so ambitious this year. Just brown paper packages tied up with green twine. I'm keeping it very simple. How about you? Finished yet?

Sir Walter Scott | Christmas Wish

"Heap on the wood - the wind is chill

But let the wind whistle as it will
We'll keep our Christmas merry still."

This image is from one of my antiquarian books. I thought it was very fitting to illustrate this lovely Christmas quote by Sir Walter Scott. Agreed? Have a great day. Mine is going to be very busy.

Happy Birthday Stacey. I will drop off your gift later today. Save me a big piece of that yummy carrot cake you baked for yourself.

Dog Waiting For Santa | Video

My friend Jill just sent this to me. It's the cutest thing I've seen so far this year. Watch. Believe me when I say Webster doesn't have this much self control. He would have eaten all of the cookies and Santa would have left him a bag of coal. Merry Christmas. Don't forget to buy a present for your dog.

A Little Bird Told Me To Wish You A Merry Christmas

I digitally added a Christmas wreath around this cute little wren peaking out of his house photographed at the cottage over the summer. He's sending his best wishes for a Merry Christmas and hoping all of you remember to feed the birds.
