•  This is my first post on my Xanga site. I am trying to think of something to say. I've been adding photos and I found out I didn't do it right so now I have to do them all over again. But, "Once burnt, a lesson learnt," "One mistake, a better cake," "Once bit, best forget." Sounds good but this is very time consuming. I wish I'd done it right the first time. Most of what I've learned throughout my life I've learned by experience. This is a good way to learn especially when you're learning how to do a Xanga site. However, it is not the best way to learn the important lessons of life. God's Word should be the number one source of our instruction where we learn to avoid many unacceptable consequences by following God's ways. Following God's ways will help us face the mistakes we make with the right attitude. So, with a smile on face and joy in my heart I'm posting my photos the correct way and redoing all that work over again that took hours to do but I'm happy about it because I've learned a lesson that I won't have to learn again in this life because I don't think there will be Xanga in heaven and I know this is a run on sentence, for all you grammarians but this is my blog and according to other Xanga sites I've looked at grammer doesn't really matter so this is my first post. I call it a Lesson Learnt!

  Our Christmas Get-a-way!
  On Thursday, December 6th, Nancy and I were able to take a wonderful Christmas-dream trip to the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN. The get-a-way was a special anniversary gift from our children. Our 30th Anniversary was on July 30th and they knew we would enjoy Christmas at the Opryland Hotel. They were right. Here are some
  pictures to remember the wonderful time we had.

   

  Here we are in our room standing on the balcony
  overlooking the beautifully decorated Cascade
  section of the Opryland Hotel.

  

  Ricardo the Dad alias Richard M. Gilley!

   

  Nancy, the love of my life! The beautiful reason
  I desire to be what my Heavenly Father wants
  me to be.

   

  Behind us is a beautiful Christmas tree made out
  of poinsettias. Someone caught a picture of me
  with my arm around the most beautiful package
  under the tree.

   

  Nancy and I found a good place to cuddle
  and someone snapped our picture.

   

  It looked like a winter-wonderland of lights outside the
  Magnolia Entrance to the Opryland Hotel.

   

  The carriage ride was a lot of fun. It was so cold!

   

  We were so cold and we didn't wear our coats.
  Fortunately we had our love to keep us warm!

   

  The lights and decorations are so beautiful inside the
  Opryland Hotel.
