Thank you to you all--- because, all of you have brightened my life--- for a long time----Thank you !
Now, I must tell you that we went to Son#1's last night--Christmas eve---
It was fabulous--- The Grandchildren were there--not all of them, (4 missing)- -- And guess what Himself and I got for Xmas from each family-"-Food vouchers " -for various restaurants and take out places in town--lots of them-----You see, we are good with breakfast, and lunch--not so good at cooking a dinner meal at supper time----The boys met us at the car and helped Himself inside--same going home--helped Himself out to the car--
We cut way back this Xmas with our spending--- i did not shop for clothing for them--but instead gave each Grandchild money--and it seemed to go over well--What on earth do Senior people ever do without grown children and Grandkids-?--They certainly have helped us a lot to stay in our home which seems to be working out well, for himself , who is not steady on his feet at this time.
so the big day is here--- I wish you all a wonderful warm Christmas--with your family--whether it be with pets, or children, or neighbours or friends--a Family is what you make it--and only YOU can make it loving and special-- Just decide to do that! Jesus is the reason for the season--
I sometimes wonder about what I post--How yu people might be offended-- I never ever mean to do that--and I never , so far , have felt that I did that , by your response--
I know that my Mother has a lot to say , while I'm typing--I feel she sits here beside me, reading everything--kinda drives me crazy--as she will say, "Go on--type that-- Did you not hear me?"--Lord love a Duck! Maybe it's a part of the aging process--In fact, I might hang around my own kids when I pass on , and try to influence them--(but I'll never tell them!)
Anyway, I wish you all a wonderful Christmas Day-- and if you are alone, remember , that, you really never are alone, because your Mom is probably watching out for you too and telling you what to do--
Yes, life does go on---and of course I wanted you all to know that I enjoy hearing from you all and I do appreciate your comments---You make my days special--- just sharing this time with you -- (Mom just told me to add that!)_--AND DON"T WORRY------LOL----(I probably do all that worrying for you all!)- Everything will work out for the best!---(I HOPE!) -
I always love your comments and quotes, they are a wonderful start to my day!

together …. We appreciate YOU! Have a wonderful December 25th! ❤️. Eissa7
It truly was an enjoyable evening--thanks to the kids-- Lynda
DeleteYou had a great time with your family and all that wonderful food! That's great! How many dogs were there?
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at my daughter's, too.
I commented on your comment last night, but you may not have seen it.
I was getting more stuff out of the car. It was wet, my old crocs had no traction left. I stepped up on the curb, my crock didn't do well, I went flying in the air slightly to the right. Landed on my tail bone, back, head in quick succession. Spent hours in the ER. I have a broken pelvis. Dr also found that I had a hip fracture in the past. The Veterans Admin always said that hip was fine.
The rest of the day was great. Today, I'm just doing Tylenol and pain patches. Plan to snuggle with Lucky soon, as I didn't have a good night. The smallest movement seems to hurt. I will heal, but it will take some time.
YOU and yours have a wonderful last week of 2023. I know you will...just trusting that everything will be fine. {{{HUGS}}}
Oh yes I read what you wrote yesterday--AND I commented -And I sent my email address in case you wanted to write while you rest there-- A Broken hip is a serious thing--poor yu--Hugs, Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Looks like your Christmas celebration was a huge success! We also had ours at my oldest daughters yesterday afternoon. It was nice to not have to clean my house and today I am just putting away gifts and hanging out! I am never offended by anything you write - you always make my days better! Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOMG-- So happy to hear you do not mind what I write-- It sounds like you have had a good day--Lynda
DeleteMerry Christmas, Lynda! I think your kids have done just about the perfect gift-choosing for you and Himself. Some of those kinds of gifts showed up at our family gather, too... especially for those who enjoy getting out for meals!
ReplyDeleteMay the holiday bless you and all you love, this special day! And may you not get the snow that decided to visit my neck of the woods, where it is much appreciated!
so happy that snow is where it is appreciated-- at your neck of the woods-- and yes--enough vouchers here for meals for if and when yu get here-- LOL-- Happy to hear your day went well- Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Merry Xmas to you, Fred and the fur babies. Sounds like you had a pretty perfect Xmas. Pretty thoughtful of the kids to get you gift cards for food. Great gift. And all the food you had for dinner looks fantastic. And we all love what you say. I am never offended. It's warm here today about 7 which is unreal for Christmas but I love it. Hope today was a good day for you too and you saw some of the family again. Have a great night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day --very mild but foggy all day-It sounds like you enjoyed to-day also-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! What a lovely time with your family. Always enjoy the pics you share with us. I look forward to your blog and appreciate you taking the time to do it. It was 58 degrees in Ohio today. We enjoyed good food and too much dessert. lol I had some Cananda Dry and thought of you. I hope you had at least a few sips. Happy Christmas Night!:)
ReplyDeleteOh --I did have a Canada Dry--I vowed I would not--but-- it happened!- -58 degrees os very warm for Dec. --=No snow here -==-rained all day--Lynda
DeleteGood for you! Yes warm and sunny. It was supposed to be cloudy. So nice. A little rain tonight and tomorrow.
DeleteLynda, I just read your comment to my second{?} yesterday. They let me go home cuz I proved I could walk...little 2 inch steps with a walker about 10 feet. Luckily a neighbor on my floor who also drives heard where I was and rushed over. She brought me home, went to my apt and got my walker and made sure I got in. My other friend (with the bariatric walker) came to my apt, too. The stood by while I was in the bathroom getting out of my rain and gravel soaked sweat pants and took Tylenol. It is very hard to move around. I do have so many helpers, though. My adopted (kinda) daughters brought my dinner, one said she will get my garbage and recylces down for me tomorrow, one of the daughters, Leann is coming after her work to clean the cat box.
ReplyDeleteI am good, sweetheart, and you are, too. You have enough to care for with Himself, yourself and the pets. I would really appreciate the prayers, though. I will keep you posted. Notified my daughter nearby and my doc son and daughter-inlaw in California. My oldest son's wife is also rooting for me.
You are so kind and caring! Thank you for all you do for your family and encouraging and inspiring us here on your blog.
Oh Lynda, I am soooo glad that you and Himself were able to get together w/your kids/grandkids. Awesome. And that they helped Himself to and from the car. Nice. Looks like delicious food! And FOOD VOUCHERS! What a wonderful gift. for sure, there are times when supper is a stretch to think about and prepare.
ReplyDeleteOur DD came over, but DS and Crystal (his beloved) bought a house and moved in (or started to) yesterday. Moving themselves. More to go, but they're about 1/2 done now, per DS. Nice.
HUGS and blessings
