Family is still gathering, presents are still being opening, I hear the turkey has just been declared "done", candles are still burning, but with the calendar at Merry Christmas plus one, another holiday is headed for the archives.
Jean just goes absolutely all out for the holidays. Everything is done fresh and from scratch. There's the apple pie, apple crumb crust (whatever it's really called), pumpkin, several kinds of candy, several kinds of cookies, cake, enough dinner to make cooking unnecessary for the next week, and images of Weight Watchers dancing in our heads.
Jean loves to make handcrafted cards for all occasions. It's something else she loves to share. Besides each of us getting a personal homemade card, often in addition to another from the pharmacy, she made 72 Christmas cards for each resident of the Fairview Fellowship Home, each delivered complete with a candy cane.
Best wishes, and I look forward to seeing some of you on the water.
Cheers, jim
Those are simply beautiful cards; how thoughtful and I'm sure appreciated. Hope your holiday season has been filled with love, joy, and peace. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMaryellen, Best wishes to you for the New Year also. Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy the social interaction, and inspite of asking, out of 38,980 posts so far, I've probably only received a dozen comments. I was tickled crazy when the first I received was from England. Anyhow, I enjoy hearing from folks, so feel free to chime in any time. jim
DeleteI'm getting ahead of myself. That should be 35 and not 38,000. Also, don't be bashful about subscribing or sharing the blog with others. jim
