Happy Christmas to my NorCal friends! I hope you and your family have a wonderful day!
I am so glad for you, Wendy.
I got to see Aidan on Saturday, a short visit at McDonald's. Then he flew out to VA on Sunday (he flys by himself now). Chrissy will be coming back with him.
Marsha went to her Dad's, so I am all alone right now. She will be back Christmas day. My boyfriend Glen came over yesterday and we watched football.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.
I want to wish you each a wonderful Christmas celebration. I am looking forward to our next M&G, and praying that I can be there.
If you are blessed to have your sailor home, please share a N4M {{HUG}} and my thanks for their service. This is a hard time for all of us, as we miss our sailors, and appreciate their service - for your sacrifices and service also THANK YOU.
Merry Christmas ~~s~~
Just purchased the first couple of yard of fabric for our 2014 pillowcase project.
This is a great time of year to start picking up Christmas fabric as a discount. So if your out and about, and feel like picking up a few yards that would be outstanding!!!
Alaina.....It so hard to stop when there are so many cute idea's and gifts out there. I am not done wrapping, but an done shopping:) I hate shopping:)
Very nice, Jody. I am all ready for the holidays. Got the tree up, did the shopping , sent out cards. I went to "Las Posadas" for the 1st time, it was quite spiritual.
I will be going to Sac on Saturday to see Aidan.
Here we are on a beautiful sunny day - LZ, JudyM and Paymaster along with our friend Wanda helping out at the National Veterans cemetery in Dixon, CA. Helping with Wreath's Across America.
Whew Whoot!!! Congratulations to Sam. Give him a bug N4M {{{ }}} from all of us Rachael.
Thank you in advance to those of you who will be helping at Dixon. Jody's right, I'd wear my yard gloves. I'll be with you in my prayers.
