Merry Christmas All!
I apologize for the scanty posts lately. I’ve been a madwomen for the past two weeks, trying to get all my shopping done and get all the groceries bought for the big Christmas party. We had planned for 21 guests, plus one delivery to a dear friend who is unable to get out, but now we may have a couple extra guests, oh well, there’s always way too much to food…we’re so lucky, to have too much food, to have to rearrange things so we can fit the leftovers into the fridge. It makes you stop and think about others around the world and even in this country, who are hungry and cold and wondering when and if their next meal will come. I wish they could all come for dinner, that we could just drag in some more card table chairs and set them all up somewhere.
Yesterday I cleaned. I vacuumed the whole house, mopped every floor, dusted every surface and cleaned every window– well, all except the stairwell, it’s about thirty feet tall and I’m thinking I maybe should get a couple of life insurance quotes before I attempt that. Today I spent most of the day baking pies and cookies and making egg noodles and now I’m exhausted, so exhausted I can barely think, but if I sound like I’m complaining, I’m not! I’m just so glad that all my kids are safe and sound and will be coming home for Christmas! I’m so grateful we’re all healthy and I’m able to wear myself out cleaning my nice warm home and cooking all this food. We’re so lucky here. SO lucky.
Merry Christmas all!
