Perfect Christmas Present...


My Mother and I each received a unique present this year; an elephant coffee mug hand made in Etna, NY (much like the ones in the picture). Along with the mugs came a poem which I want to share. For those who don't know, my Mother has collected elephants for years and I share her fondness for the species!

Coffee Cups
by Michelle Reynolds

Somewhere out there
When you wake up
Someone else has coffee
In a matching elephant cup.

No Matter how far away
You might seem to each other
Your love will cross the miles
For both daughter and Mother.

So sit and relax
And enjoy a strong brew
Because somewhere out there
Someone is thinking of you too.


Mom, I'm enjoying my coffee, are you?

The Meaning of Christmas...


What does Christmas mean to you and to your family? Is it a time of reflection? A time of giving? A time of peace and tranquility? Too often I think we lose sight of what the spirit of Christmas is really all about. Charlie Brown and his friends know what it is and remind us every year. Enjoy the holidays everyone!
