Christmas Vacation

Christmas Vacation has started and it is proving to be rather interesting to say the least. Sit back and relax while I fill you in.

I decided to open my computer after a week or more of having it closed and using just my phone for Internet communication. There are some things I was supposed to be doing so I will be attempting to get them done during the few days left before Christmas.

Last night I  dictated my youngest letter to father Christmas. It was interesting; this year she is aware that the holiday is coming, and she is excited about it. Seeing it through her innocent eyes has made the season rather interesting.


Is it snowing yet?
The baby is looking forward to snow for Christmas; it is her one wish. You see in her eagerness, she correctly asked for all of her presents one by one until she got to open them all. (Save the one she does not know about and the gifts others have gotten her.)

You see I waited so long for her to speak that I could not resist the cuteness and sweetness in her voice as she asked the grammatically correct questions to get what she wanted. The biggest surprise of all came when she willingly put on gloves and a coat so she could go check for snow. 

It is nice to see my baby girl so happy after all of the changes the last year has brought to us. We are looking forward to the new year, and whatever it may bring.

Hope your holidays are filled with love and laughter.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
