More than a dozen years ago Jim and I bought into a TimeShare in
Williamsburg and since then have spent time there during different
seasons. Christmas is my favorite time to visit Williamsburg. The
historic town is especially picturesque when there is a dusting of snow
to soften all the edges and blur time.



In 2005 all our family gathered in Williamsburg for ten days to
celebrate Christmas and our 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was a special
time in a special place. Many sweet memories -



Memories, as sweet as they are, have a slightly bittersweet edge for me
with out Jim.  I am learning to face into them so that I do not lose the
sweetness because I am afraid of the sharp prick of grief. I have
realized that cost is too high.



I will schedule another visit to Williamsburg so that I can embrace that special place and the lovely memories it holds for me.



I particularly love the wreaths made from fresh materials that decorate
the windows and doors in the historic district. They are sweetly
fragrant and often surprising.  Starting today I will post pictures from
my collection of wreath photos.



There is a connection between the photos of the wreaths and the memories
of lovely moments in Williamsburg - they perserve something prescious
and I can revisit them forever.
