For Christmas this year, I received a beautiful solar garden light from a
special friend. This lamp is decorated with hummingbirds and flowers
and at night will light up your garden with a lovely pattern.
Features of the Solar Lantern
In the photo below you can see the lamp in the dark after it has been
charged by the sun for 6 hours.
Isn't it beautiful? I charged it outdoors today, but since it is winter time I brought it inside to take the photo on my dining room table.
Here are some of the features of this beautiful solar lantern.
- Lantern can be used by hanging up or sitting on a table or stand
- It features auto on and off.
- It is solar powered and will automatically light up at night.
- When charged in sunlight for 8-10 hours it will then work at night for 8-10 hours.
- It is waterproof and is suitable for all outdoor environments.
- It comes in four designs: the hummingbird (shown in photos), butterflies, mushrooms, or frogs.

About my Special Friend
I'd like to share with you a little about my special friend. Her name
is Anna and over 60 years ago, when I was in girl scouts, I was working
toward my pen pal badge. I was matched up with several pen pals from various
countries and most I wrote to for a few months or maybe even a year and then
the letters stopped. One of my pen pals was Anna who lived in the
London area in England. I live in the midwestern United States.
Anna and I seemed to really connect with each other, and we now have been
pen pals for 63 years. Our lives took similar routes, we each married
and had two children and we both have granddaughters.
We wrote letters to each other in snail mail for years and when we were
each in our 40's we finally met each other in person. Anna and her
family traveled to the US to visit us. Since then, we have visited several
times and now with technology we message each other regularly. Our
husbands have also become friends and will sometimes email each other.
We have vacationed together in Cyprus and Memphis Tennessee. My
husband and I have also visited Anna and Peter at their home in England near
the border of Wales. We attended their son's wedding and have met up
with them when we were on cruises, and they would travel to one of our stops
(Plymouth in England and Bruges in Belgium.) We have developed a
wonderful friendship over the years.
Now that we are older my husband and I no longer are able to travel but we
enjoy the wonderful memories. We still message each other regularly
sharing news of our children and granddaughters.
We also exchange Christmas gifts each year as we have for the last 60+
years. This year we received the beautiful Solar Garden Lantern from
Anna and Peter.
