A Beachy Florida Christmas

Ah, routine.  I almost forgot what that was like.


I owe you all pictures from my Christmas Spectacular of North Florida.  I'm still catching up on sleep from the holidays it seems, but seeing family and friends made it worth all the driving.

Sometimes seeing the ocean and big wide expanses of water brings me back in touch with the whole picture.

Did I mention I like the ocean?

And right now I am really appreciating oratorio arias.  (Think opera, but religious, and not staged, and beautiful!)  In particular: Renée Fleming's Sacred Songs Album and Kiri Te Kanawa's Ave Maria Album.  Divine! 

For some perspective, listen to this.
