Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday

Merry Christmas
To You

To Me

Today is my 70th birthday.  Yes, I was a Christmas baby born at home on December 25, 1941.  I will now have to change my profile to say "70 something."  

Yesterday, I baked my mother's fruitcake recipe.  I had planned to make a post about it.  I tried, but I just could not.  Mom's passing in November is still to raw, and I found I did not have the words that I wanted.  Perhaps I will share it next year.

Today, we celebrated a nice quiet Christmas at my younger daughter's with all my close family present.  I hope that everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends.

  2. Congratulations on 70 years! Sorry about the loss of your mom. I lost mine last year at Thanksgiving and it was harder than I ever imagined. Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with your favorite things.

  5. AWW - I'm just now getting to this post Loy....hope you enjoyed a fabulous birthday...didn't realize you get to share the same day with Jesus. =) Bless your heart...no doubt it was tough not having your mama for the first Christmas, and I pray His grace covers you in the days ahead. Looking forward to all the new year brings for both of us.
