What a great daughter you are...shopping for Bruce! And for picking up a few things for my list too! I am trying to get the house in order for having everyone here for Christmas...brother Pat and family are all coming...I'm so happy about that and hopefully all the kids will be here too at one time or another. We are hoping to see Maria on Boxing Day - I think it would take a minor miracle to see her on Christmas Day! Desiree and Jacob will be coming too...I just can't imagine a Christmas holiday season without them, and we will have our traditional tea party on New Years Eve.
It will be a difficult holiday for some of our family... my uncle Russ passed away on December 10 and my uncle Wally in the spring... very tough for my aunt. And...Bruce's cousin Raymond also passed this year - a father of young children - it's very sad. I am always thinking of Mum and Dad but especially at this time of year - Mum was always really into Christmas. I can still smell the baking and remember all the decorating she did. Dad was in his workshop building things and probably just staying out of her way!! ha ha ha!
Where has the time gone?
