A Blast From the Past in Memory of My Brother Bruce "Christmas Countdown 2011, The Christmas Wreath"

-
I love Christmas.  What a fun and beautiful time of year. Sometimes I wonder about the origins of our many holiday traditions.  Just what does the wreath we hang every year symbolize? I consulted Google came up with this quote......

"The circle of a Christmas wreath is a never-ending ring, a reminder of the 
everlasting love from God"

That sounds lovely to me:-) With that in mind, my brother Bruce and I set off to see if we could find a Christmas Wreath or two....   Here are a few pictures of our adventures from a couple of weeks ago.
The first stop was Bruce's favorite restaurant...."Bob Evans" in Dover DE
Fueled up and ready to go..... 
I had searched online for area Christmas events and came across a happening in Odessa DE.
It was their annual Christmas open house.  Folks were invited to come into town to enjoy their decorations, food, and fun.  Some of the historic homes were open as well.  
I had never been to Odessa, and I said jokingly to Bruce...." Bruce, I have never been to Odessa before we could get lost.  Should we still go?"  With a smile on his face, he replied "absolutely" So off we went into unknown territory:-)

Bruce found a wreath! 
......and another......




Kinda looks like a wreath:-) 


Bruce and I heard music in the distance. With the camera's in hand we
 jogged several blocks only to find the "Fife and Drum Corp Band"
 (Bruce looks dashing there in the foreground:-) 

Bruce and I had another great adventure together.  He is a very bright light in my life, a blessing.
We were able to find many Christmas wreaths, and they were all wonderful.
Whenever I see a wreath at Christmas, I will thank God for his endless circle of love for us.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

I love you and I miss you, my dear brother!

I am so glad...fall is nearly here.  It has been a sweltering and humid summer, and yes, it is still that way today, but now that we have hit September, there is hope.   I love fall and winter weather and fall and winter fashion.  With that in mind, I have selected the September outfit I want to recreate.  I found the outfit on Pinterest.  I went to Amazon to see if I could recreate the look and will go into my closet to see if I can come close to creating the outfit.  What is nice about this look is that if it gets too hot outside, you can easily remove the sweater. Here is what I found... 1 -Levi's Women's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans 2- Fossil Women's Jolie Leather Crossbody Purse Handbag for Women 3- Peugeot Women's 14K Gold Plated Tank Leather Dress Watch with Roman Numerals Dial 4- Vepose Women's Ankle Boots Low Heels Chunky Cutout Booties+Perforated Western Shoes 5 -Canaria Italian 10kt Yellow Gold Diamond-Cut Dome Stud Earrings 6- Elesomo Womens Tops Short/Lon

History The Teddy bear, affectionally called a Teddie, was invented in the early 20th century in Germany. The Teddy Bear is named after Theodore Roosevelt, also known as Teddy Roosevelt. No one knows the origin of the Teddy Bear Picnic, but there are a couple of thoughts.  One is that in the 1920s, a social worker felt bad for orphaned children and was trying to improve their lives by hosting this picnic. Another thought about the origin is that it is based on a book called The Teddy Bear Picnic, w
