It has been a while since I posted. I have been slacking in that area.
I was thinking of the Christmas season. I was away for Christmas and New Years. It is a tough time to be away from the family. I had at many different times through my time at work that I spent thinking of my family. I cherish the moments with my wife, children and grandchildren. The day I came home from work, my son also showed up with his family to spend a week with us. It is always a fun time when my kids come home and the grandchildren get together and have fun. One morning we got up and had a huge breakfast, usually a Christmas tradition, even though it was almost 2 weeks past. We had our present exchange part way through the week, it was fun seeing the excitement in the eyes of the young ones. We played some family games and watched the kids as they played and imagined together. We had a couple days of cold and heavy snow followed by a few warmer days. Calorado, Suzie, and their kids had gone out to make smowmen since the wet snow made for great snowman making weather. When they were finished, I had paths all around my front yard and a snowman for every person in the house (9). It was wonderful to have family together for a while. There are many precious moments when the kids and grandchildren are near. these are the times that make life enjoyable.
Enjoying the holiday season with family makes me happy.
