December Evenings

It’s already December, the weather is getting colder…… you might even say frigid! Festive decorations are up in the community, while FedEx and Amazon trucks make regular deliveries to neighbors at Heath. Our nephew who is almost two years of age has been keeping an eye out for Santa, and his excitement reminds me of my childhood experiences during Christmas. Each evening we enjoy the holiday music wafting throughout the house, which is completely relaxing after a rough day at work, and the best part is coming home each evening to see decorations twinkling in and around the fireplace.

Stylish Heath contributor Tony Sanchez and few friends took a warm Thursday evening last week to drive and see the holiday lighting at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC. Upon arriving you may procure a warm cup of cider, cocoa, or wine to sip while walking the garden pathways listening to the sounds of holiday music. Carolers singing amid the soft glow of candles and lights that decorate trees and shrubs, setting the festive mood for the season!

Last Chance to Visit the NGA

We are eight months into this pandemic and life continues to become more unnerving each day. As an educator visiting art galleries has become an important diversion for those of us who must have a weekly dose of paintings, sculptures, and music to stay focused and centered.

I couldn’t believe an email I received this afternoon indicating the National Gallery of Art will be closing [again] to the public on Saturday, November 21 out of caution and the response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the region, which I totally understand and agree with wholeheartedly.

I’m so looking forward to 2021 with hopes the new year will bring the opportunity to start anew. Luckily, a few of us were able to visit the National Gallery in October, and took photos to peruse until we can once again return.
