An Early Christmas Greeting.

Larry has a bad habit of giving me Christmas gifts in NOVEMBER! This week he gave me the most wonderful lens for my camera. Agitated that he gave me the gift early, I tested the wide angled treasure while he and Libby were on the big bed. Note: Larry looking at the check book. Libby chewing on a certain part of her body. Puppy stairs!(Libby will have surgery soon for her leg) Larry's weights under his night-stand. Curtains made from fabric that I bought in France. Ok. Tour is over...... this lens is perfection! Thank you Larry Merry Christmas!

The Music, this Amy Grant song is one of my favorites.

Discovered soon after Mother died,

and my sisters & Father.. left us...... Larry, my daughters and myself

to deal with the huge problems in our life alone.

( do not misunderstand, they gave me such a gift)

Insert smile here.

This song was and is my Holiday Mantra.

Holding on with both hands and discovering how strong I really am,

Life is so wonderful that sometimes we miss the special moments

by allowing the sad, bad and mad people control us.

I learned that I can count on me.

The strength and faith in my life comes from my heart.

Not yours.

Christmas is approaching fast.

Gather the people that you love around.

The moments will be treasures.

I promise!

Love you, Me.
