Random Five Friday: Christmas Nostalgia

Random Five Friday

Jan. 10, 2014

1. I’ve been in nostalgic mode 

since I discovered photos 

of my family taken during

the season of Christmas 1965.

2. In those days, we had at least three different family gatherings-

First- at either my cousin’s or her mother’s home 

for the Kern side of the family. 

Second- at my husband’s sister’s home.  

Third- the one in our home on Christmas Day 

with our 3 kids (youngest not yet born), my brother and my parents.

3. I was without water for two days this week; 

thankfully I had filled all available containers with water, 

and had done all my laundry 

before Tuesday the 7th when I discovered water pipes had frozen.  

4. I am blessed that I had the money 

to pay for a plumber to thaw out the pipes.  

And I’m grateful for a well-heated home and food to eat.

5. One of my favorite people came to have coffee with me today.  

She always spends  a bit of January 11 with me. 

(It’s the anniversary of my husband’s death.)  

She brightens and entertains me with her chatting .  

She will be working tomorrow so she came today.  

Then she surprised me by carting me off to join her mom at the movies, 

an added bonus- movie popcorn!

Thank you, dear friend!
