It can't already be the middle of the month!

Where to start? That is the question of the day, the pressure is off to get things done, with the holidays behind us, and nothing pressing coming up. But there are all the things that need to still be completed, like getting all the christmas decore down and put away. Yes, you heard me correctly, it is the middle of the month, and I still don't have the christmas stuff put away, but there is no rush. No one is coming for dinner, or over to visit. There are more pressing things to do, like relax, walk the dog, sleep, and talk to my grandkids on the telephone. I'd rather talk to them in person, but that is not possible today, they live far far away. Thank goodness, for the telephone and computers, to receive pictures often! I talked to both Jack and Isabella today. I spoke to Sophie also, that is important, she needs to hear my voice often, so she will know who I am, Goo, Grandma Goo! One thing has been accomplished this month . The porta potty finnally left my driveway! That was a hit with all the grandkids this Christmas! I guess it was a good option to have, just in case of emergency or something. Anyway the kids had fun. I never did use it, while it was here, guess I should have.
Tomorrow I have to get up early, go sit with my dad while my mom get a perm. That means I should really go to bed now or I won't want to get up. It is so cold here right now, 14 degrees this morning, and about the same tonight. Snuggling into bed would probably be a good thing. Guess that is just what I will do. Sweet dreams to everyone!

Happy New Year

The holidays came fast and in the blink of an eye, it was all over. Time goes so fast when you have family and friends around. I always hate for it to be over. I want it to last and last and last. I don't want everyone to leave and go back home. I know it will be weeks, or months before I see everyone again. Those babies grow so fast, I need to see them often. There is just nothing like grandkids, to make the world seem so right!
It was a great Christmas!! All made it to my house safely, which is what I always pray for. The roads can be slippery and foggy, so it is always a releif when I know all are where they are suppose to be. When Jill's family arrived, we went and got a Christmas tree. It was cold out and windy, but we picked just the right tree after deciding between many.
Then the kids helped decorate it with their ornaments from years past, and the new one for this year.
Jeff and his family arrived the next day. We got to meet his kids, Wesley, Brooklyn and Jack. Isabella and Jack enjoyed playing with them and all got along great! I don't think there was even a squabble. We made Christmas cookies and frosted them, that was quite a site! Then it was off to bed, because the arrival of Santa was just hours away! Christmas morning got off to an early start, with all the little people very excited about what was waiting under the tree!
There were presents aplenty, and food for all to enjoy! It was a wonderful day that I would have like to frozen in time. We would still be on that day, if I had my way! The days went by fast, and it all came to an end, and now we have all the great pictures and memories to treasure for years to come. The new year is here, and this month is going by fast, and before we all know it, it will be the holidays again. But for right now, I think I will just enjoy the thoughts of all the fun times I've had in this last year past.
This year ahead will be lots of fun, there will be many surprises, I'm sure there'll be at least one!
Off to bed I must go, it is very late, morning will be here soon, so sweet dreams await.
