CHRISTMAS

We are at the end of Christmas Day and my family will be coming over to my house tomorrow for my Christmas party. So many other obligations for all my children and grandchildren that I felt one day late would be best this year. I will do better next year as each day I grow stronger.
I hope everyone likes their presents.

ROSE

Today we went to a birthday party for Rose. Rose is 5 years old, smart, and lovely.
A wonderful time was had by all. Homemade pizza, strawberry cake, and s/c/v ice cream, just as requested by the birthday girl.
It is so great to celebrate a grandchild's birthday with them.
I can't help but remember how last year I was too sick to go to Rose's birthday and though she understood, she was very disappointed. When it was time for Jedidiah's birthday last year, he and his family came to me as I was staying with his aunt due to my illness and was to have an
operation the next day. I survived the operation, and I am here to praise God for his gift of another year on this Earth to enjoy my family and the simple pleasures of God's World.

I'm Back

I'm back with a laptop of my very own. The one I had been using quit, just quit, without so much as a goodbye. And so it goes. . . .
This new hp laptop is simply wonderful. I am very lucky to have found it at a great affordable price. I will be back writing with some sense in a few days.
Thank you all ever so much for your extensive patience.
