Hello Friends, it's been a long time since posting here. Life has been busy for us but very good. As we are getting older now it's quite interesting to decorate and bake and get ready for family visits. Grayden and I are team workers for all of our current jobs even though we learned recently that we are elderly!
On a recent visit to our very young medical provider she mentioned that she recommended to her elderly patients, like us, something I can't even remember now. All I heard was elderly! Yes, I know we are, but I don't think of us that way. I know we are but I still think of us as being young-that is until my knee reminds me!
We are thankful to be spending another Christmas together with our family. Our daughter and son-in-law will arrive on Sunday morning after traveling here from New England by train. The station is close to our home so Samuel will be picking up his parents early morning.
Our son and grandsons will be joining us Christmas Eve and then spending Christmas with us.
The turkey is thawing in the refrigerator and the ham has been bought. There is hardly any room left in our new refrigerator. Our old one certainly had a larger capacity that I really miss as I play Tetris each time I place something inside. We are blessed with abundance to be able to buy what we need.
This morning Samuel and I baked chocolate chip cookies as they are family favorites.
Our daughter and I eat low carb so I made a large batch of low carb peanut butter fudge for us to enjoy. I also made a simple treat of sugar free chocolate chips and peanuts for us to munch on. Our daughter's birthday is Christmas day so I will be baking a low carb cheesecake for her birthday.
There is comfort in the traditions we have as a family. Come to think of it we are blessed to have children and grandchildren come to join us as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. I pray you have a wonderful Christmas friends!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. All the very best for 2025.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Martha Ellen! I’ve just located some “snail mail” from you from another year! I identify with your interpretation of “elderly.” I keep waiting for that era to arrive. Ha! Like you, there are knees that are happy to remind me that the era is here and now! Didn’t realize your daughter’s birthday was Christmas Day! Our twin daughters were born on the 23rd….50 years ago! Traditions keep things moving, and it’s wonderful to have family to help with the preparations/planning. It’s a blessing to know you!
