Back Once Again

Boy  it sure has been a long time since I have blogged at all but here I am. 

Christmas  has been so different for us and so much has happened over the last several years, from the loss of both my parents and husbands mom, and brother to health problems with both George and I and total full retirement for us both.

We have gone from two great grandchildren since my last post to expecting our 17th on February 28th.   

My love of the Christmas Holiday has never wavered through I have slowed down a lot and have done some downsizing in my decorating. This year as I start tear down next week many more things will be set aside for the daughters or grand children to go through and take what they would like for their homes. It takes me a month to do the decorating I used to do in a week of my vacation I would take in November. 

We have gone from lights on all the front of the house and garage, bushes, and trees, handrails and porch to lights on the handrails, the large 5 foot lit Santa on the porch standing beside a decorated tree, and I do manage to add lights inside the house around the windows which can be seen from outside.   

 I do so miss all the outside lights but we no longer trust ourselves on the ladder. George has fallen twice in the last three years so no way will I let him on one anymore. Last year he carried a tote down stairs when I was working at bringing all the decorations down and managed to miss the last step somehow and fell breaking his wrist in 3 places involving 2 bones. Lucky he did not have to have surgery and he did his own therapy at home to get use back of the wrist.

Now hope I can get back to blogging having more time on my hands. It has been so long since I did anything on my blogs I was not sure if I would even be able too. 

Hope I can get pictures of all my decorations before I take them down and will share the Holidays with all. I have new laptop and thus far have not figured out the photo program it sends my photos too so not done much in the line of taking picture.

Hope that all had a Merry Christmas and Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
