We had a wonderful Christmas and I am excited about 2017
being the best year yet. I say that every year and it keeps
happening. Life just gets better and better.
For the first time this Christmas we went to our daughter's in
DeSoto. In thinking about it ahead of time it seemed a little sad to break tradition
and not have she and John and our five grandchildren here. I love a full house brimming with laughter and activity.
It turned out wonderfully. On the 24th I had the
privilege of helping her cook and host a sing for family and neighbors.
We ate and sang Christmas songs from A-Z while my grandson played the
piano. Christmas morning was church then we - as a family - delivered
meals - 11 total - to the home bound in the Dallas inner city. It was wonderful.
And the start of a new tradition.
Old memories are wonderful and new ones keep adding to the joy of a growing family.
