My sister said it was time for a new entry so I will try to add something...... This seems to be a hard time of the year for me. Something always seems to happen to make it not as nice as I would like but I'm working on it and trudging ahead..... :>) We had a little party for Tom and Cindy at Shari and Dans house Sunday. I took a few pictures before my little camera was full..... Tom and Cindy didn't make it until it was almost over anyway... they were taking longer to fill the truck then they thought (besides I don't think Tom likes going away parties) it was a nice party and Shari had the house fixed up so nice. But its hard for a mother to say good bye to another son any son for that matter. They moved to Orlando Florida where our other son and his wife live. They love it there so much and things hadn't been going so well job wise here and they were planning on going in 5 years anyway so they just went early. Im happy for them and hope all goes well. They already have a nice house and both have jobs starting tomorrow already. Shari and Dan and the kids will be spending Christmas time there too. It is so pretty at Disney at this time of year.... we went one year too and liked it a lot but I don't think the other kids were happy that we went..... what is a mother to do..... so we were asked but are staying home. Things aren't the same but you can never expect them to be I guess. I will sure miss them all and its hard getting their gifts ready and then sending them off.... so I guess Im feeling sorry for me and I had better stop it....Lots of good things happening and we are all healthy so Iam happy. I'm planning a small supper for those that are here on Christmas eve as always and I will be happy when its over.... there I said it and now I can get on with it can't I. I act like Iam the only one whos kids are not here for Christmas...... sorry. I know better and I have my cards sent out and all presents bought but NOT wrapped yet..... it will be nice when thats done too. So am I getting everyone discusted with me yet???? Im sorry It will get better.
The weather has been so nice.... almost warm but certainly warm for this time of year. A lot of people are wishing for snow but hope it doesn't until after Shari and her family leave. They are borrowing our van again this year. Mindy and Ryan are driving one of Tom and Cindys cars to Florida and will be driving back with Shari and Dan.... Dan is a good driver. I know they will have a good time and can't wait for them to get back home...lol
So there Janice is my interesting journal to let you know what is going on around here..... Oh and Leo scrubbed the carpeting and it looks like new again..... Im so lucky he does that aren't I.....
Talk to you later and hope You are having a good day, SAndra

I know it's hard saying good bye, but you'll just have someplace new to visit at vacation time. That's the way I try to look at it anyway. This old house of mine gets so quiet you can hear a pin drop and as you know after raising all those kids, it is very hard to get used to. So...try and count your blessings and rejoice in them you have so much to be thankful for. #1 on the list right now might be your hubby for doing the carpet. If and when my carpet gets done - it's by me...the critters don't do housework. So glad your sister told you it was time. It was really way past time, but now that you've done it, do take so long next time !

I've been missing you and was happy to see your post. Nice of Leo to do the carpets...I ripped all mine out (no husband to clean them LOL). Be sure to take winter pictures in your backyard. I always enjoy seeing them. Maybe one of these day we can get together for lunch at Max and Erma's...only 5.99 for lunch and it's close to fleet farm and woodmans so I could meet up with you all and get my shopping done.
So nice to hear from you again your pictures are ,isnt the baby growing ?love the new TV, lucky things getting the bargain on it ,it is difficult when they move away ,but exciting when they visit ...love Jan xx
The holidays are hard and they remind us how far apart some families are. Jobs and circumstances have spread us out across the country. So, it's only natural to feel pretty down when your family can't come together for the holidays.
I am here with family but it's the first time in years. One of my brothers and his new baby are in California and they will not be here this year.
I just cherish the times we can spend together.
I do understand your feelings, I have them each year.
Hugs to you my friend,
Deb
So nice to hear all your news Sandra. You will have a great place for holidays now with two sons down in Florida. Our weather has been very bad here rain and more rain and bad flooding. Love Joan.
Here's another sister to second the motion. Glad to see you have a new entry and full of news. Don't worry about giving us the bad news; I have some of that too. I bet this is a hard time of year for lots of women our age who are feeling not so needed as we once were. And you have had your share of sadness lately with Tom and Cindy moving, as well as Carley. I'm happy to hear that you and Leo don't have any of those bugs that are going around and have settled into our house. Am starting to feel better today but the coughing keeps me up at night.
Your Christmas eve supper sounds lovely, and those that are home will love it. Take care, Angel.
Here's wishing you a bright and happy holiday in every way! God bless. - Barbara
I think our expectations are way to high for the season and then we are disappointed. At least I believe that is what my problem is.
