irishmurr > Happy New Year!  Our best wishes to you all for a safe, happy, peaceful 2010.  (December 31, 2009)


"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man."
   ~~ Benjamin Franklin
irishmurr > I couldn't seem to get warm today, so I'm continuing my "snow" series ... from inside the house this time.    :-)
(December 30, 2009)



 “May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door.”
   ~~ Irish Blessing
irishmurr > We didn't have a white Christmas, but it looks like we're going to have a white New Year.  (December 29, 2009)



"Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough.” 
   ~~ Earl Wilson
irishmurr > I spent most of today working on Christmas photos, but I did manage to pick up the camera long enough to snap this shot.  P. A. Larry got me flowers for my birthday and these squiggly things were in the arrangement.  If I had the talent some of you have for pp, I probably could've made this more interesting.  But I don't ..... so here it is, straight out of the camera.   :-)

“I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.”
   ~~ Stephen Wright
irishmurr > It was so hectic before Christmas that I didn't have time to take photos of Maeve in her Christmas dress -- so today was the day.  (December 26, 2009)


"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous".
   ~~ Coco Chanel
irishmurr > Christmas Day found Maeve and Meredith checking out each other's outfits.  :-)

It was tough to decide on just one photo from today, but I'm sure you all knew -- coming from me -- it would involve children.  Hope everyone had a joyous and merry Christmas!  (December 25, 2009)



"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."
   ~~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
irishmurr > Merry Christmas to All My Fellow Smuggers!

At our house on Christmas Eve, we were all trying to come up with silly photos to send to my Mom via her digital frame -- and this was my contribution.  So, thought I would share it with all of you.  Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday -- and that I can continue to bring you a laugh or two in the new year.  :-)

"A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!”
   ~~ Charles Dickens
irishmurr > I finally finished my shopping this afternoon -- which meant it was time to start wrapping.  The good news is, once I make my shepherd's pie in the morning, everything will be done and I can Enjoy!  (December 23, 2009)


"At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.”
   ~~ Thomas Tusser
irishmurr > Maeve insists she isn't moving from this spot until Santa comes down that chimney on Christmas Eve.

Actually, I looked over, saw her sitting there, grabbed the camera and snapped the shot.

Somehow, I like the first story better.  :-)

"When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness."
   ~~ Bob Hope
irishmurr > Just a quick shot of the snowman in our yard, and then playing with picnik.

 Four days 'til Christmas -- I'm beginning to think everything might actually get done.  :-)  (December 21, 2009)


"The outdoor Christmas lights, green and red and gold and blue and twinkling, remind me that most people are that way all year round--kind, generous, friendly and with an occasional moment of ecstasy. But Christmas is the only time they dare reveal themselves."
   ~~ Harlan Miller
irishmurr > Those Handsome Murray Boys:  Larry and his brother Dennis, with our son Chas and Dennis' son Greg.  This was taken Saturday night, but since it was after midnight, it was technically taken on the 20th.  :-)

Greg got engaged on Saturday, which was exciting news for the family.  Welcome to the Murray Clan Emily! (December 20, 2009)


"Family faces are magic mirrors.  Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future."
   ~~ Gail Lumet Buckley
irishmurr > It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  (December 19, 2009)


"Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart. 
To a customer, service. 
To all, charity. 
To every child, a good example. 
To yourself, respect.”
    ~~ Oren Arnold 


This is just a quick shot from a very hectic weekend.  Hope to catch up with you all soon!
irishmurr > Santa's Helpers were in the house.  (December 18, 2009)



"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."
   ~~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
irishmurr > Why is this man smiling?

Because, after driving a bus for 33 years, he's done!  A group of us got together to take that last ride with P. A. Larry. This is just a quick snapshot because the entire day was busy -- but I think it shows how happy my hubby was to say goodbye to this job.  Now I have to get to work on that "honey do" list.   :-)
(December 17, 2009)

"A retired husband is often a wife's full-time job"
   ~~ Ella Harris



Of course, grandpa didn't retire without letting Maeve drive the bus before he left.  To see her behind the wheel, click here.
irishmurr > Thank you for the much-too-kind comments on yesterday's photo of Maeve and I with our boas and tiaras.  :-)

As many of you know, I'm just a busy grandma who enjoys photography as a hobby.  There are plenty of days when I'm tired and not in the mood to pick up the camera, but when I browse through all the interesting and creative photos on the dailies, suddenly that all changes.  So thank you for keeping me inspired, and for all of your suggestions and pointers.  I started here for the photography, but stay for the wonderful friendships I've made along the way.  I've met some of you, talked on the phone with others, kept in touch by e-mail, on facebook, or simply through our comments back and forth each day.  So, to each of you, I give a very Big Thank You!  This is definitely a special community and I'm so glad to be part of it.  (December 16, 2009)


"Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!"
