Carols/Wash/Dishes/Stew/Phone/Hotmail and YOU

That pretty well sums up today. AHH Saturday--catch up day. The Carols do make it enjoyable. This has become the day where I get on Hotmail and do this. Can't do it at school anymore.

LESS THAN 30 DAYS UNTIL THE WEDDING!! Where has all the time gone since March 24?? Just a few things left to pick up, make and the day will be here. Emily and Giles alternate between talking about the day and their honeymoon in London. It was a good Thanksgiving. We had dinner with Giles family and met Gr'ma and Gr'pa Hash and Great Aunt Delores. It was delightful to hear that they are thankful for Emily. For who she is, her faith, and looking forward to may years ahead with her and her family. I know all this, but it is great that others see her as I see her and are loving her like I love her. (Insert BIG SMILE)

Molly is just wanting to come home again and be with 'FAMILY' (as she yells). She and 3 others went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in NYC. SHE WAS ON TV. They snuck into the grand stands and enjoyed the parade. They were in uniform so it was easy to pick out their white hats. If you go into youtube and look under the parade: Transylvania Broadway, at the very, very end of that clip they do a close up of the girls. Then the girls headed back for a home cooked Turkey Dinner and the rest of the weekend was busy with texting and phone calls. It said it wasn't the same as being home, but it worked. Cheyanne was there so they hung out the entire weekend. With her being at SEA the next 2 years, we will not have her at Thanksgiving or Christmas. She wanted to be at home during the summers when Emily and I are not in school.

I am trying to figure out what to do and how much decorating for the Holidays to do here at home. We will not be here from Dec 26-30 with the Wedding. No room for the tree this year....so the lights will go on the flat surfaces and the windows. Just get all the rest of the cherished things out.

The Holidays are changing once again...and yet the Christ of Christmas remains the same. I find myself stretching and stretching YET it is all as life should be. Emily will have her own home and perhaps I can get rid of a few things in the future......hope springs eternal. Molly will be traveling so much in the next years that I will be the friendly storeage unit. HA! Then there is my stuff....oh dear! I just keep thinking....if I died, what would the kids want to save......now there is a thought!!! It is TIME TO DOWN SIZE.

More to come......Don't forget in the hussel to slow down and enjoy your dear ones!!
