Precious Gifts

After having expounded upon Christmas being more than presents, there have been some gifts that have been memorable. Austrella was our Christmas puppy delivered on time by the hard working veterinarians and staff at the Humane Society. She helped fill the void left by the passing of our Lucky Dog just before Christmas and has taken over our hearts and home since. The other is a pan. A simple pan, caphalon yes, but that isn’t the important part. It was given to me by my sister-in-law. Our lives are no longer graced with her beauty, grace, and love, but I think of her every time I use that pan and it adds a special aura of love my kitchen.

The most precious gift this year is having my son and his family and my daughter and her family coming to visit with us. I love seeing my kids, their kids (both two footed and four footed) and just enjoying having them close.

Hope you all have a great Christmas, one of those that builds memories to warm your heart through the rest of the year…
