Christmas Past

Well today marked another Christmas past. It was a small gathering with only 6 adults and our two little grandchildren. Ty is 3 and was really having a lot of fun with grandpa. Aeryn (the baby) of 9 1/2 months thought it was fun, but is not really coordinated yet. She thought it would be more fun to take the ornament off of the tree. Cami (our adopted daughter) was here and her biological mom and sister came for a visit. It was really nice to see them again.

My mother was here and struggled with the day as was looking for my dad (he passed away 13 months ago) Poor momma...It is so sad to see her so lost without him. They were married for just shy of 60 years. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimers and has a hard time of it.

I did get a phone call two days ago that was quite disturbing. My best girlfriend for the last 20 years died suddenly. She was only 61. As I understand it she had a heart attack on Friday and never regained consciousness. She passed on Sunday about noon. Kaylyn...you will be missed.

I managed to get out over 200 Christmas cards this year. All hand made and personally written in. This year I'm starting my cards in January...LOL

It's been a busy time. I have my brother visiting from New Zealand and my niece and great nephew (4 months old) here from Atlanta, Georgia.
My niece is into stamping so we have images that she is going to gamsol when she gets home.
Life is good...family is here. Not a lot of cards made this week.
