  4. Oh Ruth Sweetie...
    I am so thrilled you weren't sleeping tonight as you were able to share this magnificent photo of the city. What a beauty it is. SO still, and SO peaceful looking. The lights give it such a beautiful glow. As I look back into the city lights in the distance, I like to think there are a few others not sleeping as well either. You my friend, are not alone.

    The photos of the hills are absolutely breathtaking. I can see why you yearn to go there, not only to see your sweet Momma, but to see this beautiful valley as well. How green and beautiful it is. Home for the holidays. How wonderful.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Ruth, sweet friend, and keep counting down those days until your Christmas holiday. I will be looking forward to many beautiful photos from your trip.

    Hugs to you sweet friend and much love, Sherry

    I think your pictures look great! I'm not very good with a camera either. I just "aim and shoot" and hope for the best. :)

    Anyway, I enjoyed visiting your blog today. You are welcomed to visit mine if you would like.

    Blessings,

  29. That is a pretty picture of the city. What a great view you have. And the picture of the hills is gorgeous! Enjoy your vacation!

    Thanks for stopping by last weekend for Relax & Surf Sunday! I am following you back (finally!). I hope you had a great week, and I hope to "see you in the surf" again tonight or tomorrow. :-D

  30. What beautiful countryside awaits you. I love the city lights though. They are sparkling and pretty. I do hope you enjoy your wonderful holiday. A much needed rest and long visit I am sure. I am grateful to be in our new home but I wait for my brother-in-law to get moving to Alaska so he will be out of our house. I know it sounds selfish but I was raised with a wonderful father and mother and there was no alcoholism. It is very difficult for me. I would like to see him go quickly. My children are unhappy too. :(( But I do looking forward to a wonderful Christmas dinner with the phamily in our new place. Anne
