If you read my post earlier in the day, I decided to delete it, so here is a new one:) Had a day at home today, cleaned and did my floors, enjoyed sitting listening to Christmas music and the tree and or sure a clean house, I love everything to be in its place, the house clean, it bothers me when I sit to relax if something is out of place, even dust on the floor, can you say OCD!!!! I can get over it for those who know me, know my house is not always spotless and there is for sure dust on the hardwoods:) I went to shop, drove to Sam’s parking lot and drove out, went to Kohl’s and walk though out the store and left with buying nothing:( so I decided to come home and get Steve to shop with me:) I do not like to shop, I like to go in and get what I need and leave, but I am not sure what I am getting people for Christmas so I thought if I look then I would see something:) I am waiting on Sherry Maxwell to call me we were going to eat a late lunch but now it will be supper:) she is trying to get a loan closed…….that is stressful!! Steve went duck hunting with Sean today…totally cold!! He did come home and take a nap:) Loving the cold and wishing it would snow!! Now for a Christmas memory……it was Christmas of 1972, I had married Steve in April of that year and was pregnant with Alicia, now for those who are wondering was she pg when she married, the answer is no, but got pg in June of that year:) This year my daddy died Nov. 19th and it was a sad sad Christmas, Steve was in the Navy and he did get to come home for Christmas, we all got together and just opened presents and cried, I do not even remember us putting up a tree, daddy was hurt in a construction accident on Oct. 27th which was his 59th birthday, now why I am telling you this sad Christmas memory, because not all memories are happy ones, we take the good with the bad, the best part of my daddy’s death is he got saved while he was in the hospital before he died! I still can miss my daddy but know I will see him again one day….when we had hard times in our life it makes us stronger once we live through them:) hugs and nite!
for the ones who read my pondering blog, turns out I was pondering all wrong, the first person had noticed and the second person was not covering anything up, they just lied to lie:)

I remember that Christmas too. It was a sad time for your family that year. Your Daddy was a BIG man with an even bigger heart for your Mom, you and Kay. Love, Carla
You know, I am finding that once the intensity of the sadness leaves, the sad memories are really some happy ones (am I making sense?). It is sad that I miss my father, now gone just over two years, but I have reached the point that I can remember him and it be a good, not sad, memory. I think you are there, too. I am in the midst of Christmas bustle, too. But my house is NOT in order!!! Love, C
