Snow didn't fall upon us like forecast predicted. Glad for now farmers can keep harvesting. Sad for I was so looking forward to watching it and feeling it cleanse the air.

We have received more Christmas cards from friends, and hearing good news as all are well and families are doing good also.

Looking through the photos included in cards and wondering where the time has gone. The children I am looking at in the photos are the children of children of yesterday in my memories. The years have been good to all our family and friends, and seeing these new little ones brings joy to my heart as time goes by.

I await eagerly everyday for the mail just to see more of these shining little faces and the beauty of seasons and holiday spirit in each card we get. Doesn't take much to make me happy. Little things in life are the most pleasant.

Baked bread today, and made a cake. Both were yummy. Played with grand baay, she too is getting big. Today she wanted held and loved on and of course I made sure she was loved all day long.

Today I thought a lot of parents and those who are no longer with us on this earth. I even wondered what they were doing, if they too are preparing for the holiday coming up. I'm sure in heaven it is like Christmas everyday. The joy, happiness, love, good spirit, blessings to/for all. May they all rest in peace and someday we will meet again.
