BUT, I also agree that it is exhausting, I hope you did spend at least 24 hours doing nothing! I know I've been in bed for days now nursing this darn cold.<br /><br />Thank you for the thoughtful comment on my nephew's service, it is so great to have him home for a while.<br /><br />Let's hear it for 2011, I hope it holds a better year for all us!<br /><br />XOXOXOXOXOXOShellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120350701223005779.post-82720904963340090662010-12-28T18:30:52.486-08:002010-12-28T18:30:52.486-08:00Cheri!!

I am exhausted just reading this! :) But...one day it will all come to an end..so enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!! <br /><br />I still get up and dash about putting things together and getting them intot the car..but the trip is now just across town as my parents have both passed on. The husband I did all that with for all those 43 years...is now gone.<br /><br />Please enjoy...collapse into bed with a contented smile on your face every single year! :)<br /><br />I am so glad you liked the doll. The dress was just too much for me to pass up. She did not come in it.<br /><br />And...yes..HEAVY sigh* it's all over for another year. Wasn't it just wonderful.<br />Your family is just beautiful!<br />Hugs,<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120350701223005779.post-29295042561404459822010-12-27T17:53:39.326-08:002010-12-27T17:53:39.326-08:00We are so glad you travel to see us!

Our Life Group along with several other groups obtain names from schools of families truly in need.<br /><br />We buy for the children. My husband and I provide a fully cooked boxed 6-8 servings Xmas dinner from a local grocery chain for each family in our group--5 this year and one for ourselves which HUBBY cooked!<br /><br />Sunday we were informed, we had served 88 children with toys and clothing apparel, as well as some foods to the tune of $7000 which is out of each individual in a group, not the church's benovolence fund. we also served some plates around our neighborhood.<br /><br />For our age and state of health and no children, we are content as we need little. We buy ourselves each one gift-no questions asked, and sometimes not necessarily at Xmas. I boughta Kindle when I went to Arkaansas Heart Hospital because there was no WIFI for my laptop. I love it and called it XMAS. I am currently reading Jane Eyre.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120350701223005779.post-74575092849667144522010-12-27T05:07:30.399-08:002010-12-27T05:07:30.399-08:00Thanks Mama!
