Waiting the New Year

Christmas was different, mother was not there, we decided to eat out. A cozy place turkey and beef buffet, was ok but next year somewhere different. A quick visit as well.  We downsized our gifts as well, we all have so much. I crocheted  some hats for my great niece and I sent out the usual paper cards.  
Heavy winds sent a section of fencing flat so been watching the dog
carefully as my nephew stood it up but not as yet secured.   My sister and I both bought ourselves our first cell phones and disconnected our land lines so extra playing is required.

Also bought a couple of other toys for health and entertainment meaning
paying for them and putting myself on a tighter budget.



Looking forward to the new year, the spring, planting in my new high planters the nephew made.

I enjoy my outting downtown for lunch once a week , now I can sit with the phone, talk,  occasionally sharing words with a  stranger who are looking for a kind word.

I have several friends struggling emotionally and physically with cancer. Hoping and praying they find peace, love,happiness knowing they are loved. Let prayer and the Lord heal them and love them.

Enjoyed making cookies with my great niece, got to use the new mixer. Not able to sync my picture so posted on Google +.

Winter so far has been good in fact double digits for days before Christmas. I am not a fan of wearing heavy coats and boots so weather suits me fine.

My sister after losing husband has been getting out more it is difficult to start over.

Here's hoping next year will be better to everyone, bless all of you
