We Have This Moment Today - 2019 Review




You can learn about someone by where he spends his time- Most of my photos include a person, and the date it may have been taken, as they make up memories . I cannot believe this year is over- This song by Bill Gaither is called We have this Moment and it is a brief look at the past year to not only show you what is important to me, but how fast time goes by. Some may see photos in this video; Some may see Bill Gaither singing a song; but I see Moments and memories to have and to hold. Thanks for viewing my video and blog and , Happy New Year.
Hold tight to the sound of the music of living,
Happy songs from the laughter of children at play;
Hold my hand as we run through sweet fragrant meadows,
Making mem'ries of what was today.
Chorus: We have this moment to hold in our hands
and to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand;
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never come,
But we have this moment today.
Tiny voice that I hear is my little girl calling,
For Daddy to hear just what she has to say;
And my little son running there by the hillside,
May never be quite like today.
Tender words, gentle touch and a good cup of coffee,
And someone that loves me and wants me to stay;
Hold them near while they're here & don't wait for tomorrow,
To look back and wish for today.
Take the blue of the sky and the green of the forest,
And the gold and the brown of the freshly mown hay;
Add the pale shades of spring and the circus of autumn,
And weave you a lovely today.

Merry Christmas 2019


We
Wish you
A Merry Christmas
Our  favorite time of year
A season of hope & good cheer
Counting our blessings from this year
Waiting to hear from friends far and near
Dennis finally gave notice next May to retire
Took a last minute cruise to Alaska this summer
May at Ocean Shores, August camped at Mt Rainer
Last May we also had the DuCette Family get together
Jan busy at Macramé, quilts, Lefsa and artwork in a Fair
Dennis enjoys facebook, blogging, hot tub, and Bill Gaither
Grandkids, Stehekin boat trip, Youth Circus, and walks to store
Hi from Mouse our cat and Barney and Squeaky our green Conure
God Bless you, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!



Merry Christmas. I hope todays video brings back good memories for you and you experience the Love and Joy that Jesus brought into our world. Thank your for making 2019 special in your own unique way to us. May God Bless you with a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


In 1986 we started our first Christmas Letter as hobby and tradition. In 2005 we created our first Christmas video along with the letter, and this year is the first time the words and video match in overlay words on video. (I even changed some words to match photos I had as I normally write letter first)  Two years I had used two different songs for that years video and my first two years I used same song for those years. (you guess what was the song) This is 7th time I have used Silent night, although each video a different version of that song. I started this tradition to look back at the year,  count my blessings and share equally with our friends/family our yearly news. (I love getting news in Christmas cards from others)  I still love to look back and review the letters, photos and videos. This makes entry 20 in Christmas family label of blog for past 14 years. The other six videos are ones about Christmas, duplicate songs, or ones I rescued from you tube about my grandkids. Each Christmas video is also posted on YouTube with Christmas at Grandma's House in 07 the most viewed with 1522 views. The first you tube video in 95 only has 90 views.  Silent Night in 2011 is most viewed  blog video with 922 views.
