I decided that I had left her wing broken long enough. As with people, I am sure she will have more bumps to break her wing again, but may someone, even if not me, be there to help fix her broken wing.
I finally finished my tree. The ribbon was not easy to find..and besides it gave me time to think about a topper for our tree. A snowy owl. *smile*
I think the ribbon finished it off nicely and makes a difference? I am in the middle of Christmas preparations, lots of cooking and..YOUNGEST DAUGHTER is on her way home. She said she would be home for Christmas and she is coming!! I am overjoyed! There will be close to 50 for Christmas. Lots of people..lots of fun. "There is always room for one more" as my mother was fond of saying and it seems the family just keeps growing and growing and growing! I am so blessed!
However, my granddaughter got stuck in New York on her way home from College..so we are all waiting...concerned of course. I am sure she will get here..IF on Christmas day. What better present could there be?
Have a beautiful, never to be forgotten Christmas! You are all wonderful and have been a joy beyond discription!
Many hugs, and lots of love,
Merry Christmas and God bless!
Mona
