An Air of Christmas!

HI! I love this time of year when everyone makes the effort to gather together with family and friends and share the love and goodwill towards mankind. I have recently been to visit and have chatted on the phone with a very dear long time friend but although it isn't under the best of circumstances I have so enjoyed our visits and reminicing of such good times gone by. Just last night we were laughing about the time we got together and made 16 pies for the harvest crew and in packing my deepdish pie plates to her house broke about 10 or so of them trying to carry more than I could while toteing along 2 little girls. We still made the pies that day and had fun doing it. We reminiced about a pair of old friends that are now gone but retold stories of some of the things that made us smile or laugh in remebering them. My friend was deliberating over a personal dilema and I think I helped her by giving her permission to do what was best for her not everyone else and that made me happy. I have had chats with my family, gotten together with great friends and I am truely enjoying the season and the gifts of sharing with all of them. I am thankful for so many things!
