Christmas Eve

 On this blustery evening where we are hunkered down in our home, listening to the wind blow and not seeing out the windows because snow coats the screens, I wish for all my blogger friends a Christmas of contentment, peace, and good health. 

Whether you are with family or on your own, I hope you find things for which to be thankful and take comfort in the simple pleasures. 

My Christmas is complete because I will have my daughter and son and husband with me ( if plows can get out to clear the roads tomorrow) and I was able to speak on the phone with my sister today. She has been moved out of the ICU and is awake and trying to talk even more. And that is the best gift of all.

Merry Christmas everyone!

  2. Wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. Glad to hear you're sister is making progress. It's a worry when you have family in the hospital, as the staff are over stretched here in Southern Ontario.

The most amazing man in the world and I are alone today, hunkered down after a couple of days of howling winds and a snowstorm. We have plans for later in the week...if the weather co-operates!
