A memory most of us share
My daughter, was explaining her Christmas tree dilemma .
She will be hosting the family Christmas this year but because they just adopted a kitten!! Putting up the tree right now was not an option.
She was explaining how in the old days 👵 the tree was not put up until Christmas day and then taken down the same day. Not, sure if this is true but it was her explanation.
She went on to say "you remember"😒 well no! not really.
What I do remember is the orange in my stocking. It was a big deal!!
I don't remember getting a lot of gifts. I do remember the stocking. Filled with nuts and that wonderful orange.
Welcome
I know, there are people holding it together that have a better reason for a pity party then I do.
But, I thought maybe I would get off this merry go round of pity if I shared it!!
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with macular degeneration, in my right eye. The treatment is a course of shots to the eye. I know, when I was first told, I must have read the consent forum a hundred times. You know, the one giving permission!!! I just knew, they did not mean a shot in the EYE!! Who does that????
So, for awhile the shots seem to be working, my eye sight was holding. Over the past few months, the shot's have stopped working and vision is slowly decreasing in that eye.
Next month they will try a new medicine, no guarantees.
it is effecting how I sew, sometimes it is funny as I reach for thread that is not there, other times it is frustrating.
This is just a set back, and like I said, there are people holding it all together, that are worse off then me. Thank you for letting me vent.
Christmas memories from the past
My little Lulu loved the snow. Hated rain but loved snow I miss her so much.
Grandbabies, waiting for Christmas
Ornaments that have a story
Grandbabies that cut their hair, right before going to the nutcracker ballet.
These are a few of my favorite things. Maybe what I love the most about Christmas is the memories we make.
A bag for everyone
I really do love to wrap presents. This year I have some strange size items and finding boxes was getting to be a chore. So----bags it will be!!
Big bags and little bags-lots and lots of bags.
Mr. snowman, is out of the box, this is his favorite time of the year. He gets to stay out for awhile because he is a winter decoration, not just for Christmas. I love having my snowmen around in the winter months.
