Memories Made for Two

Last week I was deep in the throes of planning  our Passsover Seder....It is always a treat for me to  break out  our festival day  candalabra....  I use this on  the big  holidays, with its 8 votive cups  it casts a merry light on  all occasions...

Our Seder this year  was  very personalized for just the two of us!
But  it  means a lot to me to  use the best we have  for  such  times ..which means the Waterford and the

beautiful antique china we inherited from Lynn's family...

This coupled with my Zwilling J.A. Henckels Vintage 1876 flatwear  makes for a very  lovely setting  displayed on Irish linen...and   to  demonstrate to our daughter how very much I appreciate her gift to me  a couple of  Christmases ago...   we certainly  enjoyed  being about to use our  new Seder plate this year for the first time.

Wonderful memories  between  just the two of us...  memories to share together and with  others....  a time set apart for two!

Our Cozy Home

Photobucket
If it's Tuesday, it's time to join Shannon at  The Cozy  Home Scenes.
When  holidays occur  around the house it is  very meaningful to  our family to  have  certain items that then become family heirlooms  filled with the  loving memories of  years gone by... when the family gathered around them for  special purposes....  I am thinking this morning of    our Passover  dinner...Our daughter  gave us this   beautiful pewter Seder plate a couple of years ago ...such a wonderful  treasure to  pass down through the generations.... 
Photobucket
  Then  a few years go when  our family started realizing how important it was for  Christians to  reconnect with our  Jewish roots and heritage...  I mean after  all we are grafted into  David's line.....joint heirs with Christ, who himself celebrated  the  old  festivals...    anyway...  I found this  wonderful bronze candlabra which reminds me of  but isnt exactly like a Mennorah... 
Photobucket
It has one more light that I liken to the Light of Christ... We use this  at all the  Christian holidays and it is a blessing to our family..

Items like these make our home  cozy,as loving sentiments attachment themselves to them  over the  seasons  of our life together.

YAYAYAYAYAYAY!
Wings of Eagles is 4 years old today!!!!

It is hard to believe that  4 years have passed  in this endeavor.... but I have to say they have been  fulfilling years of discovery about myself and the world about me.... 
  What started out as an online journal  has  grown into a   daily activity that gives me so much pleasure...  mainly because of the wonderful people  I  have met along the way  and for that I am ever grateful!
  As I  wrote  in my introductory pages,  writing  has always been  a favored pastime for me....  I loved teaching writing and my            students charged me on the day I retired to find a way to incorporate writing into my  life...  
   Blogging has been the most marvelous vehicle for this  I could ever  imagine and  it is  very challenging to me to  be able to    write something to share  every day...  even as  little as it may be!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
