WOW...
what a holiday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
My husband, who is a police officer worked Christmas Eve and Christmas,
so we had our family dinner on the 28th.
It was wonderful!
All of our children and grandchildren under one roof again.
Whoo Hoo!
My daughters and I cooked all day, and of course we had
more than we could eat. Much more!
The leftovers are always the best part of the holidays for me.
As you can see from the picture below, we got a wee bit of snow this week.
The wind blew for two days and we finally dug ourselves out yesterday.
There has been such severe Winter weather in so much of the country this week,
and I hope that you all are safe and keeping warm where you live.
I am 'snug as a bug in a rug' tonight, even though the temperature is a -10 degrees
right now.
Tomorrow I will spend the day packing away all the holiday decor for another year.
All the greens are crispy, and the candles spent...
but miraculously all the Christmas balls survived the 2 and 3 year olds!
It doesn't seem possible that we are welcoming a new year already.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it is 2011.
I don't usually make resolutions. I have lived long enough to know that I just want
the same things from the new year that I wanted from the past one...
JOY!
LOVE!
FAMILY!
FRIENDS!
The list goes on from here...but these four are the biggies to me.
This is Jackson. He is my granddaughter Maddie's cat.
Maddie and her family moved, and Jackson couldn't go, so he lives here now.
He spends his days in the house and his night's in the studio.
I'm going to be spending a fair amount of time here with Jackson soon.
Christmas night my gallbladder decided to start misbehaving,
and I do mean misbehaving!
( the attacks hurt like heck)
The doc said I won't be keeping this piece of me.
So now I have to have it yanked. (as I like to call it)
Bad, bad gallbladder.
I think my warranty was up at fifty!
I would have liked to leave with all the parts I came with,
but I guess that's not gonna happen.
So I will be away from my blog for a while starting Monday.
I do hope to get around to all my friends before that. If I miss you,
I will definitely be around when I get back!
I can't wait to share a gorgeous gift I received for Christmas.
I will do it when I come back, because it has been a little too gloomy here to photograph it well.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
Love to you all!
Pure beauty! Your holiday sounds so full of fun and family...Happy New Year to you, dear June...take care of yourself...let them pamper you!
ReplyDeleteRene
I can sure think of better ways to start the new year! I'm sure you will feel much better after it is all over. Your pictures are beautiful like usual but doesn't mother nature make some wonder scenes! Jackson was made for your home, his color is purrrrrrrfect!!! Take care dear friend and Happy New Year! June
ReplyDeleteWow June! I'm sorry to hear about your gallbladder! You know how to start out the new year with a "bang". (o:
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful. How fun to have all the kids and grandkids with you this Christmas. It's so fun to be with family.
Take care of yourself my friend! Talk to you when you get back!

Happy New Year! and a speedy recovery from your op - that sofa with Jackson looks like a very comfy place to recuperate :) best wishes, Pam
ReplyDeleteJune, happy New year to you and your family. I always love seeing images of pure white snow. We dont get snow here in this part of Queensland and my children have really only seen it once on vacation. Your home always looks so restful. warm wishes Sandy xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! We've, surprisingly, similar weather (lots of snow) in the UK - but it's mostly gone now. Hope your op goes well and leaves you feeling better.Laughed at you 'warranty running out' - you should have bought the extended warranty! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI think it's too late for many of us to get in on the extended warranty! I'll be thinking of you next week - good luck!

That is so neat that all of your family could gather together to enjoy Christmas together.
So sorry about the gallbladder sweet friend. Hope all will go well and you will soon be back recuperating on the lovely sofa with the pussycat.
Happy new year, dear friend and wishing you much love, joy, and all that makes you happy.
I am so thankful for your beautiful friendship.

ReplyDeleteAll good wishes and love,

Hello to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your Christmas went and don't worry about losing your gall bladder.
I had mine removed 8 years ago before coming to live in France.
The pains I had before were the worst ever and now wonderfully nothing .
I have kept the stones and intend one day to put them into a mosaic !!
Dear June
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy, and joyfull new year, and hopes to see you soon here again-- without your gal blatter !no need to keep trouble makers :)
Hugs,Dorthe
Hi June,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you enjoyed your Christmas with your family. God Bless your husband for protecting us and giving of himself.
I love all of your photos, you are a wonderful photographer. Pretty kitty fits in well with your decor.
Sorry to hear about your gallbladder. Mine did that two years ago at Christmas. It's really not a bad procedure and you will feel better in a few days.
Get well soon.

I will be thinking about you next week....take the time you need to recover.
Looking forward to seeing more of your gorgeous photos in 2011.

I for one will miss you, but also will be praying that your surgery goes well and you have an uncomplicated recovery. Your post is beautiful as usual, everything white and pretty, like the winter snow. Sure glad it's not that cold here. We're having a warm spell ~ in the 50's, even overnight.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and prayers coming your way.
Cindy
Beautiful photography June, your home is gorgeous. I just have to say that I live in northern Ontario, up in Canada and you have more snow than we do...and I'm ok with that!! lol We've had +5 and 6 celsius weather for the last couple of days that everything is melting here.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your green curtains, the little pop of color is very pretty. Sorry to hear you'll be having surgery, take care of yourself. We'll all still be here waiting for you when you return.
Hugs and Prayers~

ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your magnificent photos! The cat: so pretty! I'm sorry about the gall bladder. Had mine out in 2000. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
happy new year june! i have wondered about you and saw this thing about your gallbladder on donna's blog. wishing a safe surgery and a speedy recovery for you. all the best to you in 2011. so glad you had a lovely holiday season.
ReplyDeletehugs,
shelley
Such a beautiful, wintery post, June....I loved it! And about that gall bladder....I'm thinking you need to order in some new books from Amazon so they'll be there when you get home. I've had a few operations and it's always the best way to catch up on reading and gather new ideas for decorating.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well and a speedy recovery, Sweetie! Take care and I look forward to your return....
Sue
How beautiful all that snow looks, makes me want to jump in it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your surgery and get well soon!!! Happy 2011:)
I have just returned from my Becca's house and so thrilled to see you have done a post! All is going to be well and I must say...I kind of figured this is what was going on.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you take it easy...do as you are told!
If we are anything alike...this is the hard part!
Ha!Ha!
Love you bunches!
Hugs,
Donna
I'm sending up prayers for a quick recovery. This is so common for us "over 40" girls. I know you'll feel much better soon. And Jackson is just yummy, makes me want to bite on those cute pink ears. The love of my life was a white kitty. I still miss her. Each time I see one I get all teary eyed.
ReplyDeleteRelax and take it easy. (if you can)

Hi June and Happy New Year. This is just a beautiful, beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteDebby
Beautiful and inspiring photos, sweet June!! So glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas with your family! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear you have to have your GB removed, sweetie. You don't worry about visiting us and just make sure to take care of yourself while you're recovering. We'll be here when you get back... you know we will! :)
Here's to 2011!!

p.s. Maddie's cat, Jackson, is soo pretty and looks cozy as could be on your pretty couch. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful. Jackson fits right in with the decor.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the gall
Bladder. Unless yours is badly diseased it should be okay. When I had mine out the first day wasn't fun.
But after that I was just really sore but no pain. I hope yours goes as well as mine did.
June, I bet even your sick little gall bladder is pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so wonderful that you will have it taken out since it is causing you illness, here in the winter. You will be rosy and ready for spring.
Be well, dear June. Thank you for all the support this year.
Oh my dear June, it is always a feast to have you around. I'm always smiling behind my computer when I read one of your messages on my blog or a post on yours. I just wanted to wish you and your lovely family a very happy and healthy New Year filled with joy and laughter but I am so sorry to read about your gallbladder. I had an attack twice and ohhh it hurts so much that one thinks one dies (to tell you the truth it hurts so much that you want to die!). Wishing you a very prosperous recovery! Just take your time for that, we will wait for you and will be happy seeing you returning and it doesn't matter if that is after one or three days more, as long as you take your health seriously. Just take care! We all love a healthy June, just remember that!
ReplyDeleteLoving your photos June! Happy New Year!! I am at my son's place and loving his high speed!!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Hi June,
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas sounds lovely except for the gall bladder attack.Two of my
daughters had attacks and then surgery and it seemed like labor pains during the attacks but the surgery went well for them.
I am checking to see if I got the extended warranty!!!
I hope you are feeling better soon and wish you a speedy recovery.
I wish you all the best for 2011.
Take care,
Carolyn
A wee bit of snow indeed!! However, it looks so bright and beautiful like it's a sunny spring day inside your home in these photos, it's hard to belive that there could be all that cold deep snow outside! burrrr!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you're having to have gallbladder surgery...
What IS it about turning 50!! Every since I hit that mark too, it's been one problem after another!! Ugh!
I'll keep you in my prayers for a safe surgery and speedy recovery.
Now you and that cute kitty keep yourselves warm okay?!!
I'm sending you some WARM wishes for a happy and healthy New Year ahead, my sweet friend!
Hugs, Sherri:)
First of all, I'm sorry you have to have surgery. But they can do it now so easily, I hope that's the kind they do on you. Please leave just a little note on your blog to let us know how you're doing. Second - Jackson is beautiful and he matches your house. Third - You really did get a lot of snow and blowing, didn't you.
ReplyDeleteBlessings on your surgery and quick recovery, June. Diane
P. S. Your pictures are glorious.

Dear June
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you need your gallbladder yanked!! I know how painful that can be.. not personally but watched my sister suffer for years before they yanked hers!!!
I hope this new year brings you much happiness... and a swift recovery... xxx Julie
Dear sweet June, I'm so sorry to hear about your gallbladder! That must be really painful. I wish you all the best for the surgery and for 2011 good health and happiness!!!
ReplyDeleteJackson is very cute and he matches your interior so very well, LOL! It's wonderful that you took him. So Maddie can at least see him when she and her family visits you.
Get well soon, dear friend!
Hugs to you,
Julia
June,
ReplyDeleteI think you will be so much happier without it. I had mine taken out about ten years ago and haven't missed it for a minute. What I did miss was all the hi-tech things they were doing to take them out...a full incision for me. I was about a month too early. Do hope you will be able to had lap surgery but I will be keeping you in my prayers whatever it is!
Hugs,
Suz
A WEE bit of snow! lol! Wow! That's a ton of snow! And the temps are below zero! Makes me cold just to think about it! Glad you are staying warm!
ReplyDeleteChristmas is the best time for gathering up the family, one of my favorite parts! Glad you had a great one!
And don't talk about warranties being up at 50! I'm turning 50 on my birthday in Feb., don't want to hear about parts going bad! LOL!
Get well soon, we don't want to miss out on your blog post my friend! Have a great Sunday!

I had to have mine yanked at 38, your warranty must have been better than mine :). Sending you love and prayers for a safe and speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteHow in the world do you manage to make pictures of wilting greens look so darn beautiful??! I never read your posts just once, I go back and soak in all the lovely visual nourishment your photos provide each and every time. Thank you for so much inspiration, humor, and your sweet friendship over the past year - you are a treasure Miss Junie Bird ♥
Sending you very big hugs to carry you safely through the gallbladder surgery dear June. My Son-in-Law had the same trouble last year, it's very painful I know,he's fighting fit again now tho'. Been troubled with tummy problems myself this Christmas funnily enough, been wondering if it could be a gallbladder thing. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteWow!! The snow looks more like alot to me!! No wonder Jackson spends his time in the house..he'd disappear! ;))
Hoping that your well on you're way to recovery by the time you read all these comments Dearest June.
We're all right behind you sending you love.

Oh June, I am so sorry to hear about your gallbladder, I hope everything goes perfectly well for you. I'll be praying for you girlie..
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always a delight to see, and you know I always enjoy looking at your home... it is so lovely June. By the way you can have all that snow.... I'm definitely not into winter anymore.
I am so glad you were able to keep the cat. We had a stray here, and while my sister was here it was a struggle to have this cat while it lasted..... I have eleven birds so it was hectic... I kept it in the garage most of the time, but there were times we had it in house. The cat would stay for awhile then off it went to explore and would always come back. Well about two days ago I haven't seen it since.
Happy New Year June... I do hope your year is Grand!
Much love & hugs to you*
You've made your very own Celestial home ... how beautifully perfect for you! I sacraficed my gall bladder a few years back & never missed it even one moment! So, not to worry, you'll feel much better without it. Stay blessed in the new year. You'll have my friendship & devotion forever. Sande
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year June!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery ♥
Jackson is adorable ~ looking forward to seeing lots of photos of him ☺

Hello June,
ReplyDeleteOh, the white cat on the white cat is such a great idea! Unfortunately for my furniture, the black and grey kitties do not match! Well, I think I'll keep them anyhow - ha ha! So sorry about your gall bladder, not a great way to start the year but at least you'll be feeling much better afterwards. Your snow scene is beautiful - picture perfect as always.
Much love,

ReplyDeleteYour home is as luscious as ever in the exquisite whites ...
Love you, my friend ~
Hugs, Marydon
Sweet June I sure got a laugh at reading this description of loosing the body part. haha Not funny that you are going through this at all because I know that they are very painful when wanting out of your body but the way you told it was priceless.
ReplyDeleteYou take care of yourself and know that I will be praying your back on here entertaining all of us.
Wow no broken ornaments. Girl it was just me and the cat this year and I broke some of my favorites. Go figure that one out. Can't even blame the grandkids.
June your home is so lovely just like you and the snow picture is breathtaking. I could not do snow right now. haha
or the minus 10 for sure
Happy New Year
Love ya
Maggie
Poor thing hope the Yank goes smoothly. Too bad you had to go thru all that pain.
ReplyDeleteI'm also sad that I won't get to see more of your Christmas decorations. You could show them all year long and I'd still be asking for more. Just as I'm getting my decorations up everyone else is putting theirs away...haha oh well.
Happy New Year sweets!

Carole
Oh June,,I am sorry you had the GB pain. God will heal you fast. I will pray for your quick healing. What a magical winter photos. Congratulatins are in order for being apart of Jo-Anne Coletti's magbook. I is simply the living end. This is what they read in heaven isn't it? It is wonderful to see your beautiful photos. Soon you will be digging in the sweet earth and breathing the florals that God graced the planet with. I know you will recieve many blessings in this new year, and I look forward to reading all about it here.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
Marcie
Hi June, first of all I am really sorry that I visit you a bit late because I was damn busy with my guest, today I have a little time to come and see the latest and read about your naughty gall bladder... Oh you are in my prayers now, wish you a very fast and absolute recovery and want to see your beautiful photography, your sweet tone of telling things softly and lovingly...
ReplyDeleteIts so beautiful post pure and spiritual like ... beauty of white comes so powerfully in it ... so lovely... and yes about Jackson, such a darling kitty, is he sad for Maddie? my kitty start crying if someone is not at home for a day or two...
Wish you a healthy recovery quickly... love for you

Sounds like you had a lovely family Christmas, June. And snow...which I adore at the first falling, but am not too crazy about from then on. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you must start out the New Year having your gall bladder removed! I wish you a speedy recovery!

A very Happy New Year to you June -Have a fantastic 2011! Your little Jackson looks like our Poppie's twin :-)
ReplyDeleteOh man...not the dreaded gall bladder. Nasty gall bladder.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking, If the doc's took my gall bladder, my appendix, tonsils, I donate a kidney, ...that it could help with my weight loss goal???????
My resolution.word for the new year is HOPE. I am just hoping for a good 2011. I need it. I am hoping for it. and the same for you.
Hi sweet Jean! I'm just now getting to reading this post and want to wish you a fast recovery after your surgery. I had my gallbladder out & was SO glad to get rid of it. I got so sick beforehand & really wished I planned my surgery sooner.
ReplyDeleteMy brother is also a police officer & my family was blessed to have him both Christmas Eve & Christmas day (his bday too)!
God bless, Happy New Year and hope to see you SOON my dear!!
Oh June,
ReplyDeleteThe gallbladder?! I had the same problem & I'm here to tell you the surgery will change your life. I've unfortunately had a few abdominal surgeries, none 'cured' me except the gallbladder. So it'll be worth it.
Hope your laying up in bed now reading some good mags, perhaps some old Victoria's with Bolton features.
Your winter wonderland looks amazing, seems like I was just gazing at your beautiful roses. Now there covered in a lovely blanket of snow. Well get well friend. Happy New Year to you!'
Lisa
Happy new year, June.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you have Jackson now. I can't imagine leaving an animal behind, so great you're giving love to him now. We had a bird named Jackson (after Jackson Browne), I've always loved that name!
All the best to you for 2011.

How wonderful to have all your family home for the holidays. All your snow is so beautiful especially since it was at your house. We got a little on Christmas Day which was more than enough for us.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you have a speedy recovery. Can't wait till you are back.
Sandy
Sending you loads of good wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery June. :) And just think you'll be able to cozy up with Jackson when you're on the mend. Take care, Martha
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog....what a gorgeous home you have....really stunning! Sorry to hear you have to have your gall bladder removed! I will say a little prayer for you that you make a speedy recovery :o) Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!!!!!

Oh no... bad gullbladder, bad!! I agree about the parts in our bodies...:( But I'm missing my appendix and a sliver dollar size part of my skull so... I guess we can handle it (sometimes we have no choice!)! I hope you are much much better soon! It will be a relief not to have that worry of when it will act up again. It will be gone, no more problems!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cat Jackson is. I think you are very lucky to have him!
Many blessings dear June!
Write when you can!

Oh dear, sorry to hear about the gallbladder! The surgery will go well! I know a couple of co-workers who had to have it and it wasn't that bad. Just a little recovery time since you can't lift for a couple weeks. I love your photos as always....are those curtains in the 3rd and 5th photos green (they look green on my computer, LOL?) I LOVE them! I just did a post about my love of green.
ReplyDeleteGive Jackson a kitty hug and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Oh my word.. I am 109 comments?
ReplyDeleteThat means your a blog celebrity. :)
I'm glad I popped over to comment.. so I could peek at all of your fun things..
The kitty fits right in with all of the white. Love it.
I am sorry about the GB.. but I had mine out 2 years ago.. and it's heaven not to have stomach aches!!!
I'm guessing it's out by now.. so I wish you a speedy recovery!
Yes.. I have sold at Home Again for 1 1/2 years.. and I love it. I shop there too. :)
Funny that you have shopped there.. as I have taken a few chippy pieces of furniture in.. and thought " June would love this!" Ha!!
If you EVER do come down this way.. I would give you some stuff.. and my neighbor has the patio set.. so who knows.. maybe one day???
Hope your recovery is speedy my friend.. XO

Well I want to add my Get Well message also.
ReplyDeleteI read over from the Old Grey Mare you were under the weather. Well you are in a good area to recover since you can't get out and about anyway.
Hurry up now and get better
Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteHope that gall bladder is quickly resolved for you. I am on the waiting list because I am not sick enough but really they should see me crying when it is acting up to know.
Gorgeous seasonal posts all over your blog have brightened my day.
Hello my friend, thanks for your visit. I'm so sorry your sick. I've had several people have that surgery. You'll be so much better afterwords, you'll never miss that piece of your body. My blessing's go with you and all those that will help you.
ReplyDeleteSo great to have all your family together. When are you going to come visit your family here in the Salt Lake Valley?

Oh dear June,
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it had been so long since I've been over to visit. The holidays can get a bit hectic and I haven't been able to come visit...plus I began the new year working with my sister for a couple of weeks...I'm sorry, there is no excuse for not dropping by to say hello. I am sad that I didn't find out about your surgery until now, but am very, very, very happy that all went well and that you are back home and feeling better. Please know that you are a very special friend to me. I know that we may not now eachother in person but you are one of the first people I met in Blogland and you have always been sweet and kind to me and for that my dear friend you will always be in my heart. Praying that you are 100% back to your wonderful self soon. Please take care.
All my love,
♥Ana
