Well, the rain came last night........

The ground was to wet to do anything. But I did get some stuff outside yesterday. And We finish decorating the Christmas tree. It was hard, I looked at some of the ornaments that we have had for so long. Since the beginning........  My baby girl put them up, so I left them up. I know that she wishes that things could be like the pass, but then she knows that they could not be.......  It is hard on all of us, but life moves on........  We did have fun decorating, even the little man got involved. Too cute....... He would say, "No that there, put it here."  He also helped me outside, My Little Man........  We had a good time.......
I hope that we could finish tomorrow........

I included some pictures of the ornaments I had made a long time ago. I have my tree as a Victorian Christmas Tree, or trying too.....  But I have included the pictures of the ornaments that I have made. I used my old and I mean old Christmas balls; they were starting to peel. I cover them with the lace and the blue fabric then added the trim and so forth. I am so proud of them and they are lasting......... I have some ornaments that my girls have made and have some that were given to us. And I have the ornaments that have the year on them. Every year I have been adding an ornament with the year on it. That is hard, reallizing how time is flying....... Then the ornaments with our names on it...... This year will be different, huh........

Well, I been go.......
Till next time......

  1. The holidays are always hard, and if its your first Thanksgiving and Christmas since the "changes" in your lives, it will be especially so.  But, you go on, and with each passing year, it does get a little easier.  I focus on my grandkids, and see the wonders of the season through their eyes, and it helps me. It has been 7 years for me, and though I have remarried, and am very happy, it still makes me sad for what could have been and the choices HE made to bring about the present situation.  Take care of yourself and your family.  You will get through this.
