It's Funny Friday
Prudence, LuLu, Flora, Toby and Tony are up in my craft room playing with their Christmas presents so I decided to sit and share some quiet time with you, I don't do this very often.
I love December, the shorter, cloudy days (sometimes not often enough here in the south), the house all decorated and cozy, and quiet time. Now that the rush is over,
no post office runs, crowds everywhere, traffic - it has quieted down and this is when I am the happiest. QUIET.

I am always homesick, but I think this year it has intensified and I miss my parents, someone told me it gets easier as time goes on....it doesn't. It has changed for me, it's worse, maybe because I am older and realize how precious and short our time on earth really is. I miss my Grandfather telling me when he and my Grandmother came to this country from Hungry, not able to speak English and my Mom telling me stories of when she and my Dad first met. I have such wonderful memories of my childhood and having my parents'
unconditional love, I am so blessed.
unconditional love, I am so blessed.
In a few days we will begin taking down the decorations and each year my head is full of thoughts of where I will be at this time next year. Most years this is a sad time for me....the house looks so cold and empty without all the decorations, there is no puttering in the craft room with last minute ideas.....and of course not a prayer that it will be a snowy January. Here I pray that it will be a "colder" January with no thunderstorms. Did I tell you that I am homesick? Yes, you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.
I said "most years" in the above paragraph.....I do have exciting news but it will have to wait for another post.
I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2013. May you and your loved ones be blessed in abundance, may your dreams come true and thank you all for your lovely visits and friendship. I am blessed in abundance.
Hug each other as often as you can, and tell each other how much they are loved.
Blessings
Happy New Year
