One More Day!
The Glick Family has arrived for tonight's concert as a close to the Show.
We served them lunch.They sang for my 93 year old Mother in law,Ida .
She is not well enough to make it to the concert.
I have to tell you that I was so blessed.
They sang the most beautiful song acapella ,twelve voices is tight harmony,
it was really pretty . I saw tears roll down Idas face,
I know that she was touched and then I felt it too.
They minister to prisoners and I am sure that they bless them as well.
I pray that they will touch people tonight who need a special touch this time of year.
________________________________________It is the last day of the 'Poinsettia Show'.
We hope to have 2,000 more people thru here today.
We have had 4,700 between Fri and Sat.
I roasted a 30 lb slab of beef and sliced it thinly and made gravy for Roast Beef Sandwiches for the lunch today.We have thirty some employees and helpers that we serve lunch to.
I need to go make horseradish sauce also. We have potato salad,
Tortilla chips and homemade salsa
apple sauce and homemade cookies.
I was inspired by Ang to make some photos into note cards to sell at the show.
I never even tried to sell a photo before so I was a little nervous but
I put out about 30 different shots and they sold! I had to make more.
That was encouraging!!
I hope to make the rounds to see you by Wed.
You have no idea how much I miss you all!

I can't wait to see the pictures from the show, I know they will be great! I am also not surprised that your note cards sold, your pictures are beautiful!!! We all miss you too!!!
The note cards sound like a great idea! Your photos are fantastic!

Way to go! That is wonderful that something you really enjoy doing can bring in a little money. Though it doesn't surprise me as I love your photos!
Outstanding news!
Well of course they sold silly!!!!! Your an awesome photographer. Pat yourself on the back because you do good work.
Any leftovers please send it my way.
Good luck with the final day of the show.
hmmmm....lunch sounds yummy! Good news on the note cards! Perhaps a little cottage industry?
mmmmmm-sounds good -love roast beef. Of course your notecards would sell!

I really enjoy meeting you it was such a blessing, you are one sweet and so friendly lady and look forward to seeing you again sometime i did also take a few picture while we were there hope you don't mine me sharing them with our other friends.

sounds like a lot of work, but the huge turnout should make it worth it. best of luck and try to get some rest.
I've been making some note cards with my photos to use as gifts. I wonder who would buy them if I tried to sell them? hmmmmm ~
You have much more energy than me!!!!! I am not surprised people bought your cards...your photos are beautiful!!!

Good job! I bet that it is all beautiful and that people are very pleased with your flowers and your photos and probably your yummy food too!
How wonderful that you sold your photos. They are good though I know they would sell. Judi
Oh It sounds so wonderful! What a blessing to your employees. Their is something so alluring in God's creation and working with it.......the colors and beauty, the smell and feel (yes, of dirt) You must delight it in sooo much! Wish I could be there with you to help and have the experience! I hope you post some pictures for us. Many Blessings

Good job!! Will you make those cards available to us Xangans?!!!
I'm not surprised they sold, I'd be much more surprised if you said they didn't sell. Can't wait to see your pictures from the show.
That first photo is AWESOME!!!!
I think YOU are wonderful! I had no doubt your pictures would sell... NOw you have ALL year to take pictures for next year.
I hope Ida isn't sick. I'm glad they sang for her. It sounds beautiful. can't wait to see the pictures although I know your busy. Be safe. Don't forget to breath.

Wow! How sweet of them to sing for Ida! And what a beautiful family they are! Sounds like you've been having a great time! And the cards you made are amazing and beautiful! No surprise that they sold well!
I hope you get some time to rest soon!
Hey...Hugs to you, Dear Friend!!

So glad to hear that you sold your notecards. Those folks are lucky to have them.
I'm so jealous that you are having so much fun. I just wish I could be there to hear them sing. Oh well, we will make our own fun here.
It is really snowy and windy this evening. Looks a lot like Christmas time.
Hope the joy of December is with you always...........hugs to you..........
How nice that they sang for you MIL!!! I'm so glad she got to hear their harmony and was touched by their song. Have fun tonight. I know its a lot of work, but it seems like others enjoy it too!!!
We miss you too! Congrats on selling your photos! Glad to hear all went well and that Ida got a special serenade. How sweet was that!
*sparkle
Oh I know ... You've been too busy with your little flower show to stop by and help me pick out a Chritms tree.
It's ok though, I'm not bothered by it at all.
*sniff*
RYC - Why are all the comments black on black?
Because I don't care what any of you humans say or think... Only what I say and think is of any importance.
Ehhhhh while I am here... I Tag you... and not because I care a tounges lick about what you are going to write... It's just the way the game is played...
I saw the cards there at the table and they were selling there....I purchased some cookie mix for the missions trip there and got 2 other ornaments for the tree, I also boughta crocheted sink rag, they are so much better made for the job then store bought, the glick family sang beautifully, enjoyed silent night there.....great job Beth to you and your workers, loved seeing the games and toys I played with growing up...wait did I grow u p? I dont act it sometimes...hehehehe...now get some rest and then will hear from ya....take care
I've touched people when I sing...usually they run away screaming in pain!
Sorry I didn't make it up there tonight. The high winds just got in the way of my schedule.
beautiful pictures.
Fabulous!
Your photos are so great! Who WOULDN'T want to buy your notecards! Maybe you will have to let us order some through Xanga! My dear, you must be so tired about now! I am praying that God will keep ouring His joy into your life to give you strength. I'll bet that concert is going to be terrific. Yes! May it touch lives.
I'm glad the music touched your MIL, and how wonderful that she can still enjoy it!
Wow, I bet you are totally worn out! My mouth was watering, reading about the delicious lunch you made for the workers at the sale! Horseradish, yum, and chips and salsa! Wow, can I work at the sale next year?
Kathi
You go, girl!!!
I'm glad the show went well! Can't wait for more photos.
RYC (from 11-20): NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. I've participated in it for the past three years and (as of now) have successfully completed the last two. Not quite a game, per se, but definitely fun.
Even so, I gotta ask, what made you think game?
Ryc: I love it too! I hadn't seen that youtube, thank you!
Oh, and your photos are wonderful...keep them up!
I so wanted to go to your Christmas showing and forgot about it until it was too late. I should have put the date on the calendar when I first saw it. I'll get there next year. Heard it was so beautiful. Did you take the picture of the snowy trees at the top of your site? It is such a beautiful picture. Have most of my shopping done and most of the gifts are wrapped except for what I bought last night. Only 3 weeks til Christmas. It will be here before you know it. We must get together sometime after the holidays. Debbie
They are beautiful people.
You rock Tude's sister?!? Is that Spazzz or Thankee??! Which sister do you rock?!?
Thanks for the comment!
Wow those are beautiful!
Miss you too, Beth!
Random props. Nice site. Great idea, making note cards out of photos.
Now that the Poinsettia Show is over, can you finally catch your breath?
Great idea to sell your pictures. They are wonderful!
I had no idea that you weren't already making note cards. You can probably make them cheaper at Kinkos than you can print them yourself. Check it out to be sure. Besides being less expensive, think of the time and trouble it would save you.
Is the Glick family a true family with parents and 10 children or nephews ? They are amazing .You speak of the success of your Poinsettia show . Bravo . You are rewarded of your work .
This makes me think it was my wife Janine ' s birthday last December 3 and of course she had gifts but I forgot the Poinsettias , her favorite plant . I am going to buy one . Not at your home , Beth , too far , unfortunatly .
Love
Michel
Your photos are beautiful. I am glad you made them into note cards and not surprised they did well.
Such beautiful photos...and the cards are great too. Your photography is such a wonderful gift.....
Have a blessed day!
Gale
How awesome that they did that special performance for your mother in law.
Heather
Oh, your sweet MIL!!! She is such a wonderful person! I can imagine how the beautiful singing touched her!! I always get teary-eyed hearing beautiful voices, especially since I can't sing worth a darn! MMMMM ... your homemade salsa and applesauce!! I am so sad that I missed the show this year. The Candyland display is amazing! I was so impressed with the show last year, and I didn't think it was possible to top last year's, but I think you did!!
The notecards are beautiful and what a great idea! And you were afraid that nobody would buy them! Your photography is wonderful. Who wouldn't want cards with these gorgeous pictures!
I hope you are recouperating from the festivities!
Alicia
How did the rest of your cards do?
I would love to go to that show. And taste your homemade salsa. I love homemade salsa... I just plain love salsa. Now I'm hungry!
Glad it's going so well!
It just struck me...that must have been SOME lunch you prepared for the Glick family!!!
The first picture is my favorite too. It's so beautiful. I would buy some of your notecards.
I knew a Glick in the Air Force. We went through Basic Training together.
