Merry Christmas Ruthie!
Ruthie, Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
The same to you, Ruthie!
P.S. Beautiful picture!
Merry Christmas to you too, Ruthie!
Hope the coming year bring you Love, Light and Joy!!
Ruthie,
Happy Holidays. May the joys of the season be with you throughout the new year.
Belated Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year of 2012! I wanted you to know that I mentioned you in a post I did this morning, as I was finally able to write about our land becoming a Certified Wildlife Habitat thanks to your sidebar badge and blog. It was a surprise for my husband as he's worked so hard on our land, so I had to wait until after Christmas. He was so touched. Thank you again. Lisa
Ruthie: Sending you good wishes for a healthy and happy 2012! XXXX
