It is time to join Kathy, (You'll Shoot Your Eye Out) for SONGOGRAPHY where this week the song she's showcasing is,
Celebrate Me Home by Kenny Loggins.
The opening line of this song goes like this:
"Home for the holidays,
I believe I've missed each and every face.
Come on and play my music,
Let's turn on the love light in the place."
Well to me home for the holidays means just that...Home where my family gathers to celebrate the season. One thing that always reminds me of home during the holidays are holiday lights. We love them...we put up LOTS of them. My dad loved them and in his memory we make sure that our house and my mom's place next door light up the night with a lot of love.

Please join me now as we head over to Ashley's blog, (Ramblings and Photos) for SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY - This weeks prompts: Starts with S,
Texture, A Blessing, Warmth, and I Went.
STARTS WITH S....for Silly and Stuffed Toy
There is this dog that walks by sometimes with it's owner and it always carries a stuffed toy of some kind in it's mouth. It looks pretty silly (and doggone cute too) doing so.
TEXTURE: I found the bark on this tree fascinating and it certainly has a lot of texture too it.
A BLESSING: I think my hubby (Mike) and little granddaughter, (Coleen) are a blessing and more so this weekend for all their hard work in putting up the Christmas lights - Check out the top photo from Songography. That's our place and my mom's next door all lit up for the holidays.
WARMTH: I love the glow and warm feeling of candles...I don't know how much warmth they actually provide but they do give you a warm feeling inside when you see them burning.
I WENT: For a drive last week to take pictures of whatever caught my eye.
Look what I spotted...
Well that's it for another week. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the other participants. You can find their links by visiting Kathy & Ashley's blogs. - Have a great week.
Beautiful holiday lights!
