2019

I wish my family and friends a New Year of BLESSINGS, JOY, and GOOD HEALTH!  May each day be filled with light.  Live each day of this New Year with positive thoughts and let us spread PEACE everywhere we go.

Birthdays

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Tom, my dear Canton friend of many many years! 
Some people are meant to remain in our lives ~ From Canton Players Guild, to Kent State, to Facebook, to many mutual friends, to memories, and get-togethers. I am thankful we are still in touch.
Cheers to you, Mr. Stow!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear cousin Will !!
Being the same age, you staying in Ohio when your family moved to California, your close relationship with Patrick, and your love for our family, has kept us close. I don't get to see you often, but knowing you are out there with your big sentimental heart, your warm smile, and your humorous nature, is a big plus in my life.
I hope this next year brings you only good things!

This is all that is left of the pumpkins.  Amazing.  I feel good that the animals enjoyed them.

A Visit

On this foggy rainy day, a loved one came to visit at my bedroom window.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Lulu !!
Sending wishes to you my dear Canadian friend. The magic land you live in, and the magic that is in you, often reaches out, touches me, and keeps me a believer.
Keep on with your love of life and all the things that surround you.
CELEBRATE YOU TODAY!

Angel Ornament

The sweetest Angel ornament made by Mary Jane Chadbourne, arrived on time for Christmas.  She is hanging from my fireplace mantel with other works of art by Facebook artist friends.
Mary Jane, she is precious.

On the Road

As wonderful as it was to have them home for Christmas, I can't help but be sad to see them leave already this morning.  But it is back to work for them tomorrow.  Safe travels, my loves.  May angels watch over you all the way to Charleston.

Christmas Morning



May this Christmas bring JOY and BLESSINGS to my friends and family.  May God BLESS those who are sick, sad, or alone today and maybe somehow let them know they are not forgotten.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jesus !!

Christmas Eve Open House

 I was invited to Carrie Cox's for a Christmas Eve visit.  Casey, Amanda, and I went over for a while.  I am SO happy we did.  Carrie and I have been Facebook friends for several years having met through Pam Gypsy Aries.  Carrie and I live only a few blocks away from each other and tonight we FINALLY met face to face!  We all had a great visit.  Loved Carrie and Justin!


Christmas Eve Afternoon

 Fun times this afternoon at Montano's with Mr. Magic, Casey, Amanda, John Strott, Deborah Strott, and Eddy Strott.
