A walk through my upstairs across the walls. I adore the collection of my framed ladies, especially my Louis Icarts. May I share?

Enigma Chapter two

I can not seem to get him out of my mind. It has been weeks since that night at the opera. Was it my imagination or just a strange sensation that someone was watching me from behind in the window box section I was sitting. Per chance if I had only turned around, I would have known, but the feeling I had would not allow it. Then during intermission I caught a glimpse of a lovely man walking through the crowd approaching me, so I thought. So dignified, so tall, dark and handsome with an enduring quality about him. I took note quickly. Somehow the whole of my being wanted to reach out to him. Was I meant to meet this man? He never saw me in the crowd. I was so awestruck by the strangeness of it all. I did not return to the box for the second act after intermission. As fate would have it, could we have been as "ships passing in the night"? I still cannot forget!

Sweet Silver

What to do with your baby's silver cup. I let it patina and
then swipe silver cleaner lightly across the engraving. This
makes for a beautiful display with a memory...

This is our home in Wichita Falls, North Texas. We have experienced the biggest snow in years and it happened this Christmas. It helps to grant such a beautiful quiet peace that love and joy of the birth of Jesus Christ gives to all. Stand still in the snow, listen and know that He is God. Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from The Pooles
in Wichita Falls, Texas
May the love of Christ enter your hearts
and Peace be with you all!
My neighborhood is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the city. We are fanatic about decorating for the seasons. Down the street lives a lovely lady who is an artist by profession. She lies claim to the most wonderfully decorated tree in a yard. She has a crew to work deligentally to create this masterpiece of lights. We wait to enjoy it every year.
Holiday Greetings to all!

Twenty-seven family and friends expected for dinner...Happy Thanksgiving from the Pooles.

I think that I shall never see, a thing as lovely as a tree.

Down the street from me there is a home with a great sculpture in the front yard. Texas is known for furious thunderstorms. A couple of years ago we had one and lightning struck a beautiful 80 year old huge Oak tree in this neighbor's yard. It split the tree in half. They did not want to remove the trunk so they had a chainsaw sculptor create two dogs on top of the trunk from the wood. One dog is an English Whippet which represents the aristocratic dog and the other is a Terrier which represents the everyman's dog. They sit up looking so regal and proper together. What a wonderful tribute to remember a wonderful old tree.
Thank You Dr. Linda Rindhardt
