MEMORIES

Dad saying Hi.
He went out to start Rick's car.
Later Sandra and Randy came to drive it to their place
                                                         where it will be off the road.

Everyone is being so thoughtful and kind.
Sandra made me some corn meal muffins with protein , which I love.
We had a short visit with Sandra and Randy.
A busy day for them I am sure.

Carol had a busy day preparing our delicious supper.  Lots of good food to go with the salmon.
Panteli drove over to pick us up and then took us home again.

We sure enjoyed being in their home with a beautiful  Christmas tree 
and the table set with a festive theme.  Even Christmas crackers.

Both Rick and Ken phoned when we were out.
Good to hear their messages.

I am thankful for all the wonderful Christmas memories over the years.

We will enjoy our day at Sandra and Randy's but we will feel a sadness knowing Rick is not with us.  He has a long journey to become healthy again.

Lots of love and prayers are being sent his way.

"Where is God?
God is with the weak, vulnerable, small
and the handicapped.

God wants us to be willing to reach out to the poor and the lonely and broken.

Where ever we are He is there to.  The Christ child is within us."

--Henri Nouwen.

Merry Christmas to you all. It is good that you will spend the day with family even if it isn’t the wonderful large gathering you usually have that we were blessed to be a part of last year. There are many hopes and prayers for this time and one is that Rick heals, Larry’s stomach issues clear up and that my cousin in Saskatchewan recovers from Covid. We are staying positive and enjoying the positive moments that happen on the way.
Enjoy your day and we look forward to when we can visit. I told Craig that as soon as we get the vaccine they had better be ready for visitors. It has been too long. Thank goodness for FaceTime when we can watch the girls playing and can talk to them
Take care of each other
