Like everyone's Christmas season, mine has been busy too. I've let quite a few things go by the wayside and that is ok. I tried to do those things that I thought the family would enjoy the most - the tree, outside lights, and cookie favorites.
Thank the Lord for on-line shopping, free shipping coupon codes and UPS! Thanks, brother Jim in Santa Rosa, for the Christmas ham (Yum!) so we have Christmas Eve dinner and some good sandwiches coming. The house is clean - ok, I paid someone for that and I feel like a queen! And I'm taking some vacations days this week.
I wanted to share a few of the things at our house that I enjoy the most this season:
Of course, John and the kids are top on my list. Wish JR were around more. The picture is of the Recliner Club members, although Audrey is feeling better but sleeping quite a bit. John is really exhausted and just wants to "get it over with."
The wonderful cards and letters we get from you folks. Receiving those words of encouragement mean so much and I want to express how it makes us feel to know so many folks are praying for us. To know that our brothers and sisters are walking along beside us brings us great joy.
And for comic relief, Jewels, our friendly cat, helped as I was wrapping gifts. Actually, her falling asleep and leaving me to the task was a great help as she is pretty persistent for attention. She is my yard work buddy too.
Merry Christmas, friends, and have a blessed New Year! I know we're looking forward to it. As John likes to say, "The cancer will abate in 2008 and we'll be doin' fine in 2009!"
