Hello Everyone. I thought I should stop by and explain my absence the last few weeks. My Mom passed away the first of November. It was completely unexpected and a total shock to everyone. She hasn't even been sick, yet she had a massive heart attack and never recovered. I am heartbroken as I have always been so close to my Mom. My dd has also been very close to her. We are all doing well, actually much better than I thought we would. I credit Mom with my great love of Christmas. It's very hard but we are going ahead with our holiday plans. I will be cooking Thanksgiving for my Dad this year. Dd had her kindergarten class party today. They all dressed as pilgrims and Native Americans. It was precious. Then we had a big traditional Thanksgiving feast in the lunchroom. It was so good. Thanking God for all the blessings I have in my life, and for the wonderful Mother that he gave me.
“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder
