It's hard to believe it's Christmas again. Already! Even as time slows down for a couple of oldsters the days still pass so quickly. It's been a year of ups and downs but hopefully things will improve soon. Many things have happened, both good and not so great. But that's just life.
The highlight of my year was, of course, my trip to Europe. I would love to go back and stay for months and sight see more slowly. But it was a wonderful trip and I wouldn't trade it for any other. I still like looking at the pictures but I don't bore
others with them as often now! They might like seeing them once but after that it's just politeness when they ooh and aah.
We had a go 'round of it with the Mastiff we tried so hard to keep and socialize. But we don't have him anymore due to safety reasons. Ours and anyone who came to our house. We felt bad giving him away but had no other choices. Now the little dogs and the cats feel they can come out and play, which is a good thing. We hadn't realized how intimidated they were. And now we can see our grandchildren again!
We are getting ready to make the rounds of holiday dinners with the family. Christmas Eve with our daughter and family, Christmas Day with our older son and his family and will try to squeeze in a visit to the great grandchildren also. And I need to get those presents ready to go. They all get wrapped in tissue paper and put in pretty gift bags. No wrestling with boxes and rolls of gift wrap for me! New Year's Day "required" pork and sauerkraut will probably be spent at our younger son's. We are so courteous and just invite ourselves! It makes a busy week and we are fortunate to have our family so near. And we will be looking forward to the birth of our newest grand baby in January. Anyway, she's supposed to wait until then.
I don't know what 2013 will hold for us but I know it will be good.
We are very blessed with a wonderful family and friends.
