Santa...Trees, Remembrance and Love.



Good morning, Friends...
This past week had me busy sitting with a sick Sloane...Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  She's better now.
Then, when I had rested up, I finished decorating for Christmas.  I don't have a lot anymore but my trees and a few what-nots and candles.
The two empty stockings under the tree are for our Air Force grandsons.  Will and girlfriend Alyssa are in Arkansas now at his new posting and Tylar and Sara are in Papa, Hungary.
We're going to miss them...Why can't we ever get all our chicks in one basket? lol

 

I finally said enough with our tree!  You can keep adding and adding...so I just had to back away! lol





This is our granddaughter's tree.  Fits their lifestyle...





Grandma Lolli and grandpa Pops, (our daughter Crystal and hubby Tim), got to keep Sloane last weekend!  They live almost three hours from her so they usually drive up and stay at Sami and Everett's house.  This time, they got to keep her in their home...Tim bought her a shopping cart...Too cute!

They had a wonderful weekend!




Larry at his Friday treatment...four more to go...he's tolerating them with no problems.


I found this on Facebook... It really tugged at my heart!  I know the pain of losing loved ones...you miss them being around...calling, hearing their voices.  You see or hear something, and you are filled with memories, sounds or smells.  Those memories fill your emotional tank...if just for a moment...and you smile.  But we'll never see them again if we don't move forward.  We are not finish here on Earth.  So!  Put on that smile and know how much we loved and were loved!  We'll see them again! 

A new year is coming...another chance to get things done!



I had the idea to buy my daughter, Crystal, an old-style telephone/address book like mine.  She often asks me for numbers, addresses...birthdates, etc.   It was just by chance I found the same style in red, for her!  I'd bought mine back in the early 2000's.  Talk about a sign! lol

I've written addresses and numbers she will need in the years ahead...birthdays and anniversaries written on a piece of paper by my Dad, her favorite grandfather...long past.  I've always said this newfound AI stuff is nice but nothing beats a hard copy!  You never know if one day you may need it.  Hope she likes it.




Playroom/television room tree...




My Mom's handmade tree...she made it back in the 1960's.




A railroad Santa tree I found last year at the Goodwill!  
16" tall...I've tried everything to get it to work but to no avail...:o(


















Well sweet friends, I'll stop boring you.  It's just been a slow week for news around here.  So, I'll let you get on with your day.  
Have a sweet and peaceful week and until next time...
