I have not had a Christmas with my family in about 17 years now. A very long time. I know how hard it is to be away from them at this special time of year. Thank goodness for modern technology! I wish for you a very Happy 2015! God bless you too! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-19672135123356054422014-12-31T00:52:11.676+00:002014-12-31T00:52:11.676+00:00Marie,
I just love your blog and your writing, yo...Marie, <br />I just love your blog and your writing, your heart is so full of joy and love. I come away with a feeling of happiness and of home. Living in MI., U.S.A. I am away from my family in CA., U.S.A. I wish one Christmas in the future to visit at Christmas, but until I can I will be with the memories of beautiful Christmass of the past. Your writing and it's sentiments fill me with smiles and with a heart full of what this season is really about----our savior. I look forward to 2015 and reading, thank-you for sharing and for the wonderful recipes that work and are delish! God Bless you and Happy 2015!C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05939293659268410049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-80282957833185418002014-12-27T06:42:42.225+00:002014-12-27T06:42:42.225+00:00Oh, I do hope you have a lovely day today with you...Oh, I do hope you have a lovely day today with your family Pam!

I love that you were able to talk with them all; technology is wonderful. W<br />We also were able to talk with all of our families except for one. I have to say i was not surprised that he didn't call. We saw them all on Sunday; but I had thought he would call. I felt a little sad. <br />Well, I am wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Our family won't celebrate together until tomorrow so I'm still in anticipation of that. Either by text message, phone calls or FB, I heard from all my children yesterday. One of my sons even took the time and came by for a short visit with his family. Hope you have a nice visit with your friend today. Have a fantastic Friday !I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-46494172311124107942014-12-26T08:11:14.987+00:002014-12-26T08:11:14.987+00:00I agree, Children make Christmas Suzan. xxooI agree, Children make Christmas Suzan. xxooMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-80627756904851674462014-12-26T08:00:43.937+00:002014-12-26T08:00:43.937+00:00I did buy some gifts today.

He was so good about having his flea medicine this afternoon. He puts Nimbus to shame.<br /><br />Last night we discussed that it is time for us to refocus the gifts we give until children arrive again.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-11749126354313854572014-12-26T07:50:21.624+00:002014-12-26T07:50:21.624+00:00Thanks Suzan.

Just a bit money grab I think. All of it. It is nice to be able to share a few gifts with loved ones, but it's nicer to share the true reason for the season. Love you! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-52162656961354066332014-12-26T07:44:08.238+00:002014-12-26T07:44:08.238+00:00Good Morning Marie.
