There is a joy to ever season. My cousin writes that she hates the way the retail stores try to rush the holidays at us, and I agree. If I can look at my situation in a positive light, our family just put away the Halloween decorations. Now it's time to get out the turkeys and my favorite Thanksgiving placements.
Christmas will be here without me, so I find no need to be reminded that it's coming every time I turn around. These last few months have been like Christmas for me already with so many cards with nice notes arriving in the mail.
Christine is here with me for the duration, and Pat, Betsy and Kelly daily as much as possible. Mike arrives on Fridays again and departs on Mondays. My dogs are anxious to spend our days together, even if I hunker down for naps more often than they do these days.
Now we can only hope for an end to lawn mowing, leave blowing and a Bear's win or two.
I am having a hard time sitting up these days so this blog will be short. I still have a crazy appetite for all sorts of weird things from licorce, to pear juice, to everything tomato!
Blessings on your house, to all of you, for remembering me these weeks and months. So many of you flit through my memories with happy thoughts and smiles. I enjoy my trips down memory lane.
