Hello and how are you today?
Today is Thursday and time to be as positive as we can. For more happy posts, visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.
Did you have a nice holiday?
LeeAnna asked us to share the best Christmas present we ever received. Here was mine:
Paddie the poodle was the puppy my husband gave me for our first Christmas as a married couple. I still miss her--and all my poodles--and am grateful to have Lucky with us now.
Lucky
Yesterday was quiet but a lot of cooking and more today as the festivities continue. My brother and I did most of the prep for the meal. It's a tough holiday for Jim because it is the first Christmas without his wife. We all miss her.
Today I'll be making a lasagna to take to my cousin's house. We are staggering visits/get togethers and it's nice to prolong the holiday.
On a completely different note--I like that it's almost January 1. To me, the new year always marks a new season of sewing. I've got quite a few projects that I'm assembling for the winter months.
In a funny twist, teachers know that kids tend to absorb more learning in the early months of the year. There are less holidays and events to distract children. I think I tend to get a lot done during these months. Do you?
I hope you are all having a happy holiday! Cheers!

Oh, that is interesting. I didn't know that about children learning more at the start of the year.
Happy holidays! I don't have more family to visit, but I am trying to stretch out the holiday as a way to relax. Enjoy your time with family. :-)
Look at that sweet puppy! Your husband started something that year! I do like the clean and fresh feeling of the new year - I'm looking forward to it, too.
Puppies come into and go out of our lives, but are never forgotten. That is an interesting idea about the new year. I’ve always liked the idea of making a new start!
We staggered our visits, too, extending over several days. It was fun to see the great-grand at 3.5 going on 16!
