PLEASE RAIN STOP

The weather man (lady) said it would stop today and the sun will shine--for a while. I hope so. The sun makes us all happy. Tree is uo and decorated, with those old tired decorations. But hey!!it is my stuff and I like it. Presents are wrapped under the tree. We have escaped the flu and colds. I am grateful for that. We have the long tables up and decorated in the living room. It looks pretty (to me) Even more will it be pretty when we are sitting around it and eating that turkey and dressing. We will have a good crowd but not eryone. Sad but how lucky we are to have had everyone so many times. I understand some can not come but we will miss the ones that cannot be here.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

SHOPPING

Got it almost done. My sweet daughter Amy went with me and guided me in the right direction. Helped me to decide and We had fun . Lunch and it was good too. I feel better now. It is still cold and windy but that is the way it is supposed to be. We will get the tree tomorrow and decorate over the weekend. Things are looking up.

LET IT SNOW,LET IT SNOW--LET IT SNOW

It is always exciting to have a little snow. When we went to bed it was really coming down and this morning the view ffom each window was like a Christmas card. Penny went out but stayed on the patio. She said I don;t have to put up with this and came right back inside. The sun is out and it will melt fast I think--however it is only 30 degrees. If you know Mississippi you know that can change fast. We are off to Carthage to Truman's Class reunion at Sam Waggoner's farm and old family home. It is fun,We have lunch, exchange silly presents and have a good time. Back to neighborhood for annual neighborhood party. We are having shrimp gumbo and all the trimmings. Aren't we the social butterflies? Christmas music by our choir at Church Sunday. Next week I will tell you about fun planned. Things are really getting started. I am so grateful that we are able to do it all. (almost all)

That Bible verse should have read TOUR STRENGTH WILL EQUAL YOUR DAYS. Deuteronomy 33-25. My eyes do tricks when I type. Even whwn I proof read. Forgive me.MaMaw

TOUR STRENGTH WILL EQUAL YOUR DAYS Deutronomy 33:25

I needed all the stregenth I could muster. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving but I got real tired. Linda and Joe, Whitney and Cameron. Andrew and Liam came Wednesday and left Saturday and Sunday. I have a "bag of memories" and they are wonderful. I pull them out one by one and enjoy. Amy and Ed did a wonderful job with Thanksgiving dinner. She said she could not have done it without the HELP of M.G. and Sophie. Those girls are wizzies(sp). Everything was so good. Jan had us for lunch Friday to celebrate Cary's graduation. Oh boy she made some good soups. All the girls (except me) went shopping Saturday. Amy was sick but took meds and shots and kept going.

Good news with my eyes Monday. Still treating that eye with care and eye drops but I am making good progress. Good news to day about the biopsy on Truman's ear. No further treatment. We are about to get tired of these things happening to us but are grateful that thus far we are making it. Each day is a blessing. (we have to keep reminding ourselves of that. Now we look forward to Christmas. Have you been good little girls and boys? I hope so. Penny is better. By the time I treat my eyes, all day long, give Penny shots treat Truman"s new "bo-bos" we have a full life. Aren"t we lucky?
