Christmas 2012

Prayers going out to the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting rampage.  Hard to watch.

I have been over-whelmed lately with holiday cards & letters.  Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to think of me.  I couldn’t possibly reply to them all, but please know that they each meant very much to me.  I miss you all & your kind words & prayers make time seem to fly.

The only “Christmas” song I liked up until 2 years ago was Willie Nelson singing “Pretty Paper”.  It was on an 8-track we had when I was a kid and I always loved it.  Although I extended my Christmas song collection a few years ago by about 30 songs, that one remains one of my favorites.

The card from Nathan & Laney today just made my year.  I sure do love them & MISS THEM TOO! Lol.

Got to see Roy & Momma during a visit and then Rob & Daddy during another visit for Christmas.  It’s strange how time flies by.  All the Christmas’s we’ve spent together, the memories, the meals, the laughs.  I’m really fortunate to have family.  Family that loves, family that cares.  One of these Christmases though I will be home.  And when I get home I’ll be ready for the traditional “sausage balls, shrimp cocktail, pigs-n-a-blanket, plus whatever I make” Christmas.  Can’t freakin wait!

I’m thinking about making a “my top ten movies” list.  Just as a time killing exercise.  My list already has more than 10 movies on it, but I think I should just compile the list then try to narrow it down.  I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
