Wonderful Christmas Present

It's snowing, almost 6 inches on the ground..but I am so happy, my dad was able to come home for Christmas. (He had hip replacement Dec 10th and at 88 it was a challenge for us, not him he had a lot of faith all would be ok.)   He is doing very well and so glad to be home.
So have lots of things yet to do to be ready for the festivities. Just want to wish you and yours
"A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS"   and "VERY BEST WISHES" for "A HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Quick Post & a Few Pictures

It's early, but haven't had much time. My dad had a successful hip replacement Friday and was to be moved Tues to a hospital closer for his therapy, but they are now monitoring his heart. He's a trooper, 88 yrs old and was out walking Friday evening and many times each day since.

Had Mother spend an afternoon with me, catching up on internet pictures, video's of my grandkids. Blogs and pictures of her other great grandchildren.  She is enjoying her time of peace and quiet, but said she sure misses Dad in his chair. She's been a self made Nurse for 6 months of this ordeal and it has taken its toll on her.  They celebrated 65yrs of marriage in June.  We'll take her for Pizza and beer one of these nights, it is her favorite. 

Needless to say with the holidays, several family birthdays, blogland is only in my thoughts. Miss it all terribly and wanted so much to make a lot of my cards this year.  I did get a Christmas Letter done and far away ones were mailed.   Working on cards, ornaments for nieces, nephews and their precious little ones.

Most of my shopping was done the 1st of Dec, wrapped and mailed to my military son. And made sure to get cards off to all our friends in foreign places serving our country.  They are always in our thoughts and prayers.  But the holidays are a real sacriface for all the family here at home too.

My husbands been so much help also, but Sunday & Monday he spent his time cleaning here on the farm and many of the drives in town. Moving 6/8 inches of wind  (50 MPH )blown snow from Saturday's storm.  We still don't have the Sunday paper, but were not without electricity too long.
Blacktops are still icey and today....more snow..

Wish you all well,  the time is just flying by..hope to be back before Christmas. Thanks for stopping by.
