Family is important and this summer I enjoyed seeing my cousins that for some reason through the years contact was lost. Getting together was fun and the reminiscing of times gone by was enjoyable.
As I looked around at all of us I can truly say we all got a bit older but none of us changed inside, we still laughed and enjoyed each others company. How sad there was time missed in the years we had let slip by, then I realized it was only time that was lost not our feelings of family affection.

Valentine's Day
With Valentines Day coming up rather fast you can’t help wonder what to get that special someone. With talk of health and diets, it might not be so wise to offer that box of chocolate. Hmmm….I’ll will never turn away a box of chocolate, I am reading that chocolate is good for you, and we all want what is good for us.
I feel a bit guilty because it seems females do much better on this holiday then the men do, okay I don’t feel that bad. I will admit I always loves those red paper hearts surrounded by that white paper lace that we made when we where kids. Those school projects might account for my craft hobbies.

On A Cold Winter Day
On a cold winter day I went with my sister to visit the town dock. It was freezing out but I had my camera and ready to take pictures. I had never really used this camera before, my son gave it to me and unfortunately he didn’t know where the instructions were on how the camera works.
I love to take pictures and always carry a Kodak digital that fits nicely into
my purse and the only thing you have to do is press a button and the picture is taken. This camera was a new experience with more things to use to focus with and with finger tips freezing I stood on the windy dock taking pictures.
My sister was a good sport and stood out in the freezing wind with me, until she gave me that look, you know the one, where she knows you’re crazy and now she doubts
her
own sanity. Anyway we both got back in the car and
looked at the camera to see if we could see how the pics came out but because it is an older digital the screen isn’t too big. I decided the only way to tell how the pictures come out was to wait till I got home.
Well I have to say I love the pictures.

My Paradise Moon Wishes Everyone a Happy Holiday
On Sunday evening I watched as the snow fell from the sky, the first snow of the season. When I awoke the next day the snow of the season deposited itself all over and caused cars to slid and slip including the plow. It was beautiful and new and even the dog found it fun to play in.
And as I get ready for the holiday I look out at
the snow, and recall so many fun things I did as a child.
I didn’t care
how cold it was out; I rode my sleigh up
and down a hill of white cold snow.
I would go home and take off my wet gloves and boots and my fingers and feet burned as they thawed out. The next day I put on the gloves that dried near the stove and shoved my feet with my shoes into my goulashes
and went out again.
There are many memories in my mind as I sit here, the glass wax that my mother added color to and decorated the windows, the small round silver, green and red foil wreaths with the orange lighted candles in the middle that she put in each window.
The large colored Christmas lights that was wrapped through the branch
es that had so much space between them that the light radiated out of the tree which the balls and tinsel reflected the colors.
My heart is full of memories and good wishes for all to enjoy their holiday.

4 Weeks to Christmas
Now that Thanksgiving is over, this is where time seems to fly. With Christmas being less then 4 weeks away, I suggest getting any online shopping done ASAP. I worry that items that I order won’t come on time.
Most of the shopping that I do on the handmade shops seems to get here very quickly, but with the shipping it is not always in the hands of the seller. I myself mailed things early enough to reach the destination, and somehow it vanished into limbo, causing much anxiety and panic.
Although I insure any thing that I mail, thinking this will guarantee me delivery I am always reminded there are no guarantees in life. I chew my fingernails and pace the floor until I hear it finally has arrived, and I can begin to breathe again.
As I give a sigh of relief after hearing the last of my packages were delivered and arrived intact I very quickly forget all the anxiety I had just been through as I am told they love what they received. Yes I will again go through this year after year as I pack up the last of my gifts and run off to mail them.
"I wonder if people really see the true gifts in life...?"
