I have a wonderful family no matter what they are family and treat each other with love and respect I am so proud to be the matriarch of this great family. We always get together before Christmas so each family can be home for Christmas eve we usually go to the closest house which is Karol and Don's this year we will go but it will be low key because both Karol and Don have had surgery "Gall Bladder" in the last two weeks. So as a family we met on the 21st and what lovely time we had, only problem we encountered was food way too much we can not seem to get it proportioned but the wise ones always bring their own containers and make a haul on left overs. <br />

Joy when I see the lights and trees, happiness when I am with my loved ones, bitter sweat memories dance in my minds eye of Christmases past. I have always loved Christmas I know for some because of a death or accident or some sadness that came to you when the Christmas season roles around you are locked in sadness and miss the joy of this season. For me I have been blessed my growing up was filled with happiness and laughter, card games and music, and the foods were wonderful. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPjTZVlS_5la8HnFoUpdMiRfhV9zaqOT1jSnpM_C5mRKJ0rfDv3RPhqlM1uoQzICuscPnQKmLmyRWo4yjrps2H0a41XjTeCbKOssQ5XwMAA2IvRrGUPkRLtlDj2En4fOgAwdIUWHbf5Jo/s1600/P1020166.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPjTZVlS_5la8HnFoUpdMiRfhV9zaqOT1jSnpM_C5mRKJ0rfDv3RPhqlM1uoQzICuscPnQKmLmyRWo4yjrps2H0a41XjTeCbKOssQ5XwMAA2IvRrGUPkRLtlDj2En4fOgAwdIUWHbf5Jo/s320/P1020166.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhRBQi7b69QoiF9qZUENu8ozFOPp6Aanx62ZO52hUZmrIRJcpeBKmHY0hTJONr4oy3K5GgprPdYubl0CEZznADHf81r2ky1r7Il6e_m8XyES_Nzd3-6X8q4U4galFnuPHwCLhCsyPVwxx/s1600/Christmas+tree+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhRBQi7b69QoiF9qZUENu8ozFOPp6Aanx62ZO52hUZmrIRJcpeBKmHY0hTJONr4oy3K5GgprPdYubl0CEZznADHf81r2ky1r7Il6e_m8XyES_Nzd3-6X8q4U4galFnuPHwCLhCsyPVwxx/s320/Christmas+tree+004.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhZA06ihmLwRpXSBHnHeyTJrTmPBCSsd9-7WEFA19nczSB0dwghBa53nGZGklbg89l9Js9TAOdfTeUoAZn05yVnzzCWK5-Fqxy4VRfRDPo8KmacisSsNqEgOihKBEtWpkMA1hkIP8iQlo/s1600/2013-12-14+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhZA06ihmLwRpXSBHnHeyTJrTmPBCSsd9-7WEFA19nczSB0dwghBa53nGZGklbg89l9Js9TAOdfTeUoAZn05yVnzzCWK5-Fqxy4VRfRDPo8KmacisSsNqEgOihKBEtWpkMA1hkIP8iQlo/s320/2013-12-14+001.JPG" /></a>Except for the fights my sister started with my Dad the real meaning of Christmas was happiness and family it was a time to celebrate our family bonds and friends;My mother and aunts were wonderful cooks some of the foods I remember were Aunt Lorraine's watermelon pickles, peanut butter blossoms, peanut brittle, cookies of all kinds, my Dad's fudge, my mothers date-nut cake, fruit cakes smothered in rum, hot buttered rum drinks, cocoa with marshmallows, pine-nut salad so many wonderful treats but the conversations and laughter was the best.I learned a lot sitting and listening to political talks and then there was the war; I was the youngest of all the cousins and most were much older than I and they were active in the war, our family was lucky we did not lose anyone during those dark days. They all came home and what a celebration it was.
Today we are the makers of the memories our children will have, someday they will talk about going to Grandma's house and the wonderful meals and fun we all had together. We are making their memories today, so make it a wonderful Christmas memory pass the love on whether you have money or not make it a joyful Christmas to be remembered for years to come.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454043182197622806.post-64868357760047680742014-11-05T00:21:00.000-08:002014-11-05T00:21:12.586-08:00ALOHA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We made it with a two hour delay on the ground making our flight time 8 hours we arrived safely and too tired to care, we made the right decision to take the earlier shuttle the 5 o'clock instead of the 6 AM we were tied up in HWY 5 traffic and made it barely in time to wait the additional two hours, traveling is so much fun. Oh well Hawaii is so beautiful I guess it was worth it. Just imagine what it was like to travel in a wagon across country how did our ancestors make it?<br />
Tomorrow morning we will go helicopter flying around the Island I think I am looking forwards to it. Golly I hope I do not get sick, I used to be so strong and full of fun, that was the Delaine I used to know, where did she go? Where ever she went it was it happened in a blink of an eye. I think my eyes will be shut the whole time I fly.<br />

To start.<br />
Jerry has started the major work on our leak problem in the basement bedroom, seems the two torrential down pours we had the last two months were more than our gutters could handle. It actually bent them, they failed thus flooding into the window well, down the inside wall to the carpet pads and all. I discovered it while making the bed bare foot wet carpet is easy to identify when bare foot.<br />

Randy looked so relaxed with pen and brush in hand<br />
Feather went for the barn and bird houses<br />
Eilene is new to the area, she did the barn<br />
and some lovely flowers--All in all they <br />
never saw the Olympics but they seemed to <br />
have a good time -- Ann fell for one of our old apple trees--I loved seeing them work.<br />

Jerry's aunt Ester loved her recliner and had it moved into her room at the rehab center, I thought it was funny but now I understand; you see when your lower back is in spasm and the pain is night and day, those chairs are life sent. We have two Stressless chair/recliners they are the best I am budgeting now for a third one, however my sister-in-law says ours are not the good ones, but she does not tell what the good ones are. I can not imagine a better chair then the Stressless we have now, we love ours . I believe we would buy one if they only came in hot pink.<br />
Forty days of sunshine wow it has been a great summer, our trees are showing signs of stress from lack of water, and I have been lazy and not dragging the hose from pillar to post this is a big yard Jerry does not want me to water near the house and I am not doing it like it should be done, oh for a sprinkler system; We are getting older taking care of this property is getting to be a problem.<br />
<br />
Now I go out to the ''Apple tree of Meditation'', it is a very old tree planted probably in the 1920's; it had a great hole in the v of the tree when Jerry moved in; he did the old fashion, digging it out and filled it with cement the tree was saved and it continues to gift us with many wonderful apples. They make the best apple pie ever. Today I will gaze up into it's very mystical branches, it is a wonderful experience. For me to push back in my chaise and gaze into the branches I find it magical, well it is truly an afternoon delight. It inspires poetry and day dreams as a magic nap moves into my mind and I slip into another realm.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454043182197622806.post-20759136056256420232014-08-19T03:42:00.000-07:002014-08-19T12:07:31.021-07:00Taking a chance with a new Doctor(Proceedure)Today I went to see a new doctor and had steroid injections in my spine to relieve the unknown pain that seems to roam my lower back, it was a hard decision to allow this invasive treatment. Now after sleeping all day I am thinking about how this pain has shaped my days. We went walking on Sekui's wild beach last week I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy the sand and sun but my back was so bad I could not do the great walking I had planned on doing, I need exercise and doing the needles was the only approach available so I did it. So far so good the number has not completely warn off but it feels different (better) maybe my fear was uncalled for. Life is all about choices.<br />

Our oldest son Steven lives here at the mouth of the Sekui River we stayed with him for a week of meandering the beach. Watching the eagles and Sea otters frolic and play; and seeing the spray from the local whales; but for me the highlight was agate hunting. We got a few but this trip was short in the agate department but high in the long chats department, plus cribbage and campfire nights<br />
with guitar music into the night.<br />

Well I must say we had a lovely time, it was quiet and productive the foods were wonderful. A chilly ferry ride back to the main land and Port Townsends quilt shop; Note this is a rule I should follow "do not buy any new fabric" but when I enter the Port Townsend shop I blatantly break my own rule, the shop is wonderful and a new quilt is in the works.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lovely ferry ride to Anderson Island and a happy time with fellow quilt artist -- Andrea opened her water front home to our group --and the sun was shining oh so bright plus the food was wonderful. Our Incognito leader Sherry discusses our future quilt show at the Gig Harbor Library in October.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have so much fun together whether we are creating or eating, and believe me we do not agree on everything but the love of art and our creative spirits bonds us together in wonderful warm friendships, I have grown to love each one of my Stitch sisters. Sherry has some lovely pictures of our journey in her blog "Sherry loves Color" she really is a great photo artist as well as an artist in so many other ways.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhleSNhi-_8peqVnUnzXKpL2WNHkHBcYJNd6tfcC_usNcBSz4H61vy58OyyQGQpX7Q1zdremxooxJqCKtjXlf3au_nOk2AZWD3qCLVTKHl2xFTQhM4hSr952Pnc5DutJwkbOkrV4beYU_lp/s1600/071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhleSNhi-_8peqVnUnzXKpL2WNHkHBcYJNd6tfcC_usNcBSz4H61vy58OyyQGQpX7Q1zdremxooxJqCKtjXlf3au_nOk2AZWD3qCLVTKHl2xFTQhM4hSr952Pnc5DutJwkbOkrV4beYU_lp/s1600/071.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

How does one describe one of the best times in one's life. I will hold the memories close and shall return to them often, where does one begin. I knew it was going to be a special time because four of my children were going to be there with me. My son Steven who wrote and played my music, that alone was such a joyous gift for a mother to receive, but I was also blessed with my three daughters joining me, yahoo. We had two rooms one on the second floor and one on the third floor with balcony's over looking the sound, ferry docks, and marina entrance so we saw boats of all kinds going in and out what fun.. that was just the beginning. <br />

There were, to be two shows, well the shows sold out and people were pleading for tickets so the dress rehearsal became show three, what fun, what work and there were long waiting periods for us models and artist, those waiting times were filled with conversations and laughter with the models and artist which I was both, make-up, hair, food and waiting putting on your costume and taking it off because they were so complicated and warm it was hard work for us artist and models. What an honor to be part of this wonderful show but it was hard work after each show I was beyond tired but my dear children took such good care of me. I had foot rubs naps and good food and continuous chatter, laughter and love it was wonderful.<br />
A lots of hurry up and wait but it was energized and exciting.<br />

A lot of the models were professional with dance skills, well I was feeling lucky to be able to walk, but something magic happened each time I stepped out on the that runway, I was energized and the audience seemed to love me they cheered and clapped and yahoo's it was so exciting I cannot even describe how thrilling it was. The energy was electric I danced down the runway feeling like I was someone special, and I was uplifted and encouraged what a rush. Wow it was wonderful...My interview in the Leader, the local paper was front page another big wow I just am so over whelmed by all of it, mere words cannot truly describe just how wonderful it was everybody (40 of us) worked hard and through it all there was only one person who was rude, I feel she was dealing with something outside of the event because she was so out of place, she was invisible to all around her. I felt so bad for her, but she was too touchy to reach out to; there was no time for that negative stuff; with all those happy beautiful women together, they were all so positive she did not matter. Anyway I could go on and on. <br />
Port Townsend is a mecca for art and talent and as much fun as it was I can't imagine doing it again, I think I am too old; then again when I hit that walkway I was special and fleet of foot I danced, winked and flirted and it was so much fun. Thank you Port Townsend and my dear children you gave me a memory I will never forget.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454043182197622806.post-78317788056479589092014-05-05T15:26:00.003-07:002014-05-05T15:26:41.563-07:00Jerry and I went to the Mall Tacoma today, and I realize it has been possibly seven years since I was there. You see they have moved Nordstrom's. Oh my gosh has it really been that long? As we walked between Macy's and Nordstrom's there were so many stores I have never even heard of, it was quite a eye opener. Looking at the store windows the clothes were beyond anything I would ever wear, I am old but not dead. The reason we went was I wanted some new leather low heel boots, my low back would not allow my great old boots work any longer, they had neat two inch princess heels and I loved them but this year I just could no longer wear them.. So off to the Mall. It was a lovely day with my sweet heart. We went to our favorite Italian restaurant then B & R before crossing the bridge. We went to Goodwill and checked out the books, I found some great books on Women, Soul work and poetry these long winter dreary days will be filled with writing so a new journal has begun. All in all it was a nice day with my sweetheart. <br />

1. First each participant is to make a 16in square with the same tone/color backing, blue, teal or lavender.(The top 3 rows are unbroken, bottom broken)<br />
2. She is to make a large flower on this backing the flower must be large and centered. the colors of choice are red, pink fuchsia and yellow with the center of the flower centered at the center of the square. mind you only use the four colors.<br />
3. This square is then quartered and the maker gives thre three new quarters one quarter for each square he makes<br />
4.The four new pierces are traded off.<br />
5. Now the member is the one who will put together the new stars/flower; she will also bead and embellish her parts to make them look wonderful.<br />
Here is a sample of 1 16 in squares then the fun begins.<br />
These ladies were sure talented and it is just what our group has been looking for.<br />

When I realized they have control of all your information, well my information is really very dull so that did not bother me so much; but now they "That's the big They in the sky" who ever they are have crossed the line. I am a creature of habit in some things, playing cribbage before going to bed was one of my "pleasures" I guess it became a habit, not a bad one. One might say it was a constructive habit, it stimulated my mind and I loved it.<br />
<br />
Now Yahoo has drop the page and my "play cribbage yahoo" is gone and I do not think it will be back. I think what galls me is I had no control of the decision, it was made without my input and I have no power to change it. My Yahoo cribbage is gone and I am so sad, and mad, dang I do not like some unknown entity having power over my desires...I feel like a little kid who just had her marbles stolen, and I do not like it. Believe me there will be no more yahoo in my house. What do you think, do you think they will miss me???<br />
<br />
Just a couple of pictures to get my mind off of YAHOO<br />

Now I have to figure out how I am going to get the rest of my stuff on the plane. Half of my suitcase is full of the craft project I am taking. We have to entertain this old lady, plus a quilt I made for my granddaughter I thought it was better taking it rather than mailing it. Ashley will be spending her birthday with us so it seemed like a good idea. now I think that was a mistake oh well. I will have to strap a few things to my body but we may make it. Our son is housesitting so our little princess will be well loved. He is 6"4" so our place will be well protected no worry there.<br />
Just seems the older I am the more I need to pack, pills, c-pap, laptop, my projects, shoes for the pool shoes for when we go out, hiking shoes, make-up, dental care, pain remedies, spices to prepare foods we will be in a condo and I just can not cook without some spice, cribbage board and cards oh my gosh the list goes on and on, this packing is a job. Jerry says if it gets any more complicated it just is not worth it, well I do not think we are there yet. I have stopped taking my pillow and flippers and many other items no more tennis rackets, golf clubs, floatation devices' well you can get the picture there is always the etcetera's that we drag along. I admit I am the main offender but his shoes are really big if he would take just one less pair I could get some more in his suitcase. He has put the cases at the door so access is impossible I will just have to work on my little problem, you know we ladies are crafty and I am sure I will over come this problem. Oh my gosh I forget to pick up that last prescription so wish us luck, and that the snow does not fall on our pathway to the airport. <br />
<br />
Vacation Ready<br />
Oh worry, worry we are on our way <br />
Our bags are stuffed to capacity<br />
Oh dear oh dear it just occurred to me<br />
I have no room to shop, oh my what will I do.<br />
Fear not "Goodwill" never fails<br />
We'll find an old suitcase or maybe two<br />
So with that in mind I believe I am ready<br />
To take to the skies carefree and white knuckled <br />
I will surely return browned with sun freckles<br />
Dang I don't have room for the scales.<br />
<br />
<br />
BUMP BUMP BUMP<br />
There are no pot holes in the sky<br />
So why is the plane going bump bump bump<br />
Oh I wonder why so high up in the sky<br />
Bump bump bump<br />

IN THE BOAT OF MYSELF<br />
NO LIGHT AND NO LAND ANYWHERE,<br />
CLOUDCOVER THICK,<br />
I TRY TO STAY JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE,<br />
YET I'M ALREADY UNDER AND LIVING<br />
WITHIN<br />
THE OCEAN<br />
<br />
<br />
RUMI -- Sometime in the mid thirteenth century<br />
<br />
*************************************************************<br />
<br />
<br />
I SIT ALONE<br />
I SEEK SILENCE WITHIN<br />
I DISCONNECT FROM OUTSIDE MYSELF<br />
AS I SHUT MY EYES AND THE DARK CLOSES IN<br />
I FIND MYSELF DEEP IN THE OCEAN OF MY SOUL<br />
<br />
DELAINE -- today<br />
<br />
We live in the same world time does not matter as we go with-in **maybe time just stands still for all of us.<br />

Just a tiny bit, seems every word and gesture was off a bit. It still was a good day. Housekeeper came and did her duty, that was the beginning. Then a meeting of friends; I call it a circle, I love it when friends come together and form a circle and open their hearts for a good bit of verbal intercourse. We shared our ideas and thoughts and a really good cup of "strong" coffee with a couple of cookies and our hearts opened as the afternoon flew by. We planned our next meeting, then a warm parting was shared with hugs and blessings. I picked up dinner one of Jerry's favorite take homes, he was both hungry and happy, score one for me. We shared our special meal then a nap until it was time to go to another meeting, I must say driving in the driving rain at night is not what it used to be, but I made it both ways, for I am woman<br />
<br />
I gave a talk last Saturday about Women and their quilts in the eighteen hundreds, how different our lives are. Are our lives today the same? my question is were they really that different. We carry the same capacity to love and our hearts are broken in the same way, we have medications for depression but the depressions are just as real and our isolations are just as lonely, we have so much more material wise but to me the women of the frontier knew who they were and what was expected of them.<br />
The young women of our time are searching for identity, to make their mark, find a man but they are not sure they want marriage. To have children is not the honorable thing to do or the goal of a young woman....yet they feel the calling of motherhood as they grow beyond the child rearing age and see a lonely old age approaching. Family is a put down mothers and fathers have disappointed them and the future of a happy ever after seems unreal. With all of that uncertainty I still feel we are the same, you see when it comes to our need to share we need the fellowship of other women, our young women are missing that coming together, of connecting to the sisterhood of other women whether older or of the same age. We need that sharing because we share a inner wisdom it comes out when we come together in a circle as we talk of life. We see it in the journals of women of old and in centuries to come they will read our journals and know of our deep concerns and dreams. They will see our connections.<br />
My friends are now wives, widows, mothers, grandmothers and sisters most of our mothers are gone and we have become the matriarchs of our families. As I see it we are a continuation of the first circle of women who huddled together around an open fires. We share the same kinship, friendships and loves, we are all sisters with a capacity to love and nurture; our task is as it always was to bring forth the next generation; to love and teach the young to be the be compassionate and to teach them how to love. We must teach our younger sisters about what being a woman is, and we must always walk proud, because we belong to "The Sisterhood" and we have one of the most important jobs on earth. Being a woman is an honor, I love getting together and sharing with my lady friends, there is always so much wisdom and knowledge freely shared and we all grow from the experience.<br />
Well the question is how was my day well all in all it was a good day..Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454043182197622806.post-39813685592979185082014-01-25T00:28:00.000-08:002014-01-25T00:31:35.568-08:00Yahoo What a Great Game we won by the seat of their pantsI was out numbered three to one, but we ate well, wonderful dip of seven layer Mex and corn chips, watermelon. Pizza and apple pie and a win what more can we ask for. <br />
Father, Son and Grandson good men spending time watching the game, doing some shooting, the breeze you know, they are all good guys and fun to listen to as they talk about camping and the summer plans, and hooping and hollering over the game. <br />
I played with my quilts, getting them ready for a lecture next Saturday at PLU.<br />
<br />
Days pass and I am finally ready for the PLU Show and Tell for the New Western Washington Quilt Study Group. My friend Susan came and help put it all together what a doll she is. It will be fun sharing my quilts from 1860 to 1910, there will be time for others to bring their quilts of the era, I have to admit quilts made during this period of our countries development are my favorite so much was happening. So many changes so very fast, I have quilts made when Custer died and the transcontinental Railroad was connected and the Civil war, the telegraph I like to tell how it was used during the war allowing Lincoln
keep in contact with his Generals so many changes and we take it all for granted. Well wish me well it is going to be fun, only problem, I have to leave home at 8:45 and as you all know I do not do mornings, but for quilts I think I can.<br />
<br />
A dear friend Erlene Smarr died this week she was almost 90 a quilting sister, a gentle spirit who for the last couple of years slipped into a world of her own. Her family are bringing her quilts as they gather to say their good-byes she left them love and hugs in those quilts, she made one special for each family member how special is that.<br />
How wonderful to be able to wrap up in a quilt made just for you, a quilt to comfort you when you feel sad and know that the maker loved you.<br />
Thank you Erlene for being the dear soul and friend you were to all who knew you<br />

Flying Free<br />
<br />
The little birds trust God<br />
For they go singing from Northern woods<br />
Where autumns winds start to blow<br />
They travel south for a winters rest to await springs call.<br />
Then with joyous faith they follow unmarked pathways<br />
Winging to summers lands of songs<br />
Winging to the unknown<br />
Let us go singing and no longer cry<br />
Since we know our times are in His hands<br />
Why should we weep and fear while others call it dying<br />
It's merely flying free to a far off land of summer<br />
<br />

Wow we have been glued to the television these last four days, with Downton Abbey the first three seasons and now the football game. Can you believe that scramble a great game, yahoo we won.. Oh well the weather outside is dreadful and we have gotten all caught up on our chores so why not...Downton Abbey was great we stayed up until 2:00 last night and are now followers. I can hardly wait for this seasons opening, what a great show...Even Jerry was hooked, he may say he did it for me, but he was the one ready to start watching at 2:00 in the afternoon. He cannot fool me he loved it, we sat side by side to the very end and what a sad ending. It was fun sharing the Abby's family adventures both of us enthralled and sharing our opinions about what was going to happen next. Jerry did good it was the best Christmas gift in a long time.<br />
Thursday we went for a ride and past the Gig Harbor Park at the head of the bay, and I saw it we turned around. There it was the most beautiful wood carving we turned around and took a closer look here are some pictures they do not do this work of art justice. The fantastic art talent in Gig Harbor and the Peninsula is incredible I take my hat off the SAW DOGS what a work of art thank you Gig Harbor for recognizing this talent and sharing it with us. They will be adding a new and Maritime play station also, our little town is stepping up for sure.<br />

Well I have started to polish the crystals and shiny ornaments after all the tree has been up for three years and it needs some work, but oh my how lovely it is. Yes it is that time again, Christmas the season of joy and celebration for the Lord has come. Well not every one celebrates in the same way for the same reason but for me and mine we celebrate Christmas the old fashion way with Christ's birth at the center. For some the Christmas season brings sadness and a feeling of loneliness. That is true I have been there, more times than I wish to remember, but we always put our sorrows aside for our family, we come together in love of each other, we help each other, supported each other and cried together but on Christmas we stand together in love for our Lord and each other, we seek joy in our fellowship, in our songs and in our laughter. We eat special foods made with the hands of our loved ones. Sometimes there is an empty seat at the table, a dear one has passed, or walked away, but for us this year a new life will join our prayer circle I'Leah a beautiful granddaughter joins us. We will bless this new life this new family member. Someday she will have a circle of her own and she will take with her our family traditions and she will add to them. I am looking forwards to our family day when we all join hands and pray for the coming year and give thanks for the year coming to a close, it has been a very busy year full of so much family time I had many long talks with my son, these were good times we have missed so many because of life's flowing we were going different directions no time for chit chat, but this year we caught up on many stories and a few cribbage games, he is one lucky fellow, I love cribbage so much I do not mind loosing within reason. but trust me "do not play poker with Steven for cash" what is yours will soon be his. <br />
Reflecting on this last year brings smiles to my heart it was a really fine year I have much to be thankful for, family and friends are my riches I am a wealthy woman because I am loved and I can see the love around me.<br />
If for some reason you are alone this season, look around, there are others<br />

like you alone, reach out and bring them to your circle. My theory is to adopt when we moved here from California we had no family so we adopted one another couple with no family just like us we joined together and shared our holidays those were some of my happiest holidays we had so much fun together. New traditions were started we shared love and fellowship, if you know of someone who will be alone reach out you never know how that friendship will grow maybe it will be a one time event or maybe a life long relationship. Magic happens when you give of yourself,<br />
this is the season for magic, and it is all about love. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
