A Year’s Reflection: January-April

As 2012 comes to a close, my next few entries will revisit the highlights of the past year, four months at a time.

JANUARY

M (H’s mom) celebrates her 91st birthday with family from near and far.

FEBRUARY

As a Christmas surprise for H, I arrange a long weekend trip in the North Georgia Mountains.  A Tumbling Run is a cozy, one-room cabin that sits smack-dab on the banks of a rushing creek.  We have a lovely time with crisp winter weather, hikes in the woods, board games by the fireplace, and plenty of snacks.

MARCH

An early sign of spring:  the fragrance of hyacinths fans through M’s home.  The hand-painted vase is one given to her 70 years ago, as a young women in Holland.

APRIL

Our Easter celebration combines baskets filled with goodies and table decorations reminiscent of H’s childhood.
