Tree decorating time. In our house the Christmas tree is where our memories are displayed, and the ornaments hold the secrets to unlocking them. Memories of places we've been, episodes of family traditions, or just pictures of younger days. Like this ornament of the coast of Maine. It's hard to believe so many years have passed, I swear it was just last summer or so it seems. In the summer of that year on the coast of Maine, things changed and would never be the same. I met an Irish heartthrob, my bride.
