Met our Alalbama relatives in Vicksburg, Miss. for a few days.  We try as a family to get together every so often.  Of course, there
is gambling there and an outlet, which we all enjoy taking part in.  Well, we lost all of our alloted dough, but we
always say we are paying for entertainment.  And it is always fun for us sisters to be together.

I enjoyed watching the tv yesterday, so much going on.  I wish the best for our new president and hope he can
get us on the right track.  That is a long day for all those people and I think way too much for one day.

Well, started the year off right.............have had 2 root canals done in the last 2 months.  He says this is not
unusual but I sure didn't think that could happen.  Then my sister said she has had 4 done.  So I
guess I am fortunate.
Weather so cold here, yesterday 27 degrees, that is cold.   Warmer this am only 44.

My how time flies when you get old, or at least it does for me.  Well, we will hope and pray for a really good and peaceful
new year. 
It was so good to have all of the family here for the holidays, the house busy and people everywhere,  We played
games and had fun.
Happy New Year to you all.

would mean so much to his children.  He is a sculptor and his wife Pattie, is a painter like me and does ( Read more... )

I am happy to say the owner of the house in the painting called the reporter of the newspaper and it is his home..
I am so excited and she said he seems excited too.  What a blessing for me.  I called him today and will
meet him at his home tomorrow.  I can hardly wait.  Will let you know how it goes.  He is a sculptor, interesting.

Years ago, I painted  (oil on canvas) a beach home which was across the street from where we were staying.  We used to go to the beach ( Read more... )

Christmas will be here in a few days.  I hope we all remember that it is Jesus's birthday.  He is a gift from God, our Savior.  He
gives us life everlasting.  What a blessing.  God shows us how much He loves us by giving us His Son. 
Merry Christmas to all.

Had our wedding and it was beautiful.  Hope and pray that they will make it through the years.  It takes a lot to make ( Read more... )
