ReplyDeleteFun to catch a glimpse of your year. Your granddaughters are so pretty. I had no idea that your son lived in Australia. A little closer than France for sure. This will be another wonderful year full of adventures I am sure.
ReplyDeleteA great recap of your year, Shane. Your travels to see family were probably the best part for you. I hope you enjoy many similar travels this next year.
ReplyDeleteDear Shane:
ReplyDeleteYour recap is amazing. What a great selection of photos and reflections!
Hello, my sweet friend! How have you been, dear Shane? I have thought of you so often over the last month :)
ReplyDelete2015 looks like it was simply deightful and I truly hope 2016 is the same way. I am looking forward to following you and your blog this year - you are such a precious joy. Love and hugs to you!
Dear Shane,
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful look back!
Wishing you a wonderful,lovely, happy, lucky, peaceful and happy New Year!

Hello dear Shane, such a lovely recap of your year in photos. I have just taken my Miss Maggie RAbbit pattern out to begin. Gosh didnt the year pass by in the blink of an eye. Your beautiful grandaughters are growing up so fast. Have a wonderful year ahead my friend x0x0x0
ReplyDeleteDear Shane, what a lovely review of 2015, and thank you for mentioning the Red Cardinal in your May memories. The pictures of Ireland look enticing - we are looking forward to the wedding over there in September. All best wishes to you for a great 2016. xox
ReplyDeleteDear Shane - what a lovely roundup of your year - may 2016 bring you many more interesting travels and happy times with those you love.
ReplyDeleteDear Shane, Thank you for sharing a recap of your year capturing your creative interests, memories of places you've visited, times spent with your precious family and events that have touched your heart. May you and your family experience a very peaceful 2016.
ReplyDeleteShane, you really put together a lovely recap of 2015 post here - a lot of work I know, but well worth it in the memories department! Your travels, like my own, took you to some lovely places - how fortunate we both were last year to see them, and our faraway families. This year, who knows - we are starting trip planning this week. Not as many places as past years perhaps but at this point who knows just what might pop up unexpectedly!! Never say never.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year again Shane - and thanks so much for the beautiful card. May you and R have a great year ahead, whether boating locally or traveling back to France perhaps!
Love from us - still looking for an affordable cruise to the southern hemisphere!

Dearest Shane, I was so excited to see you had stopped by to visit my blog.
ReplyDeleteWhere has the time gone? I wish you much more happiness in this new year.
