New Traditions




 












In between at the moment and stopping quickly just to check in.  Following a few days of spring like weather we are now getting a tad bit crisper fitting the season.  Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week.

Seems as we grow older (who me ???? ... yes, another birthday just passed.  How old you say?  Ok, I'll give ... 62!) so many changes to how we used to celebrate the holidays.  Family and friends that have gone on before us and so the world is different.   But, the excitement is returning with the grandpumpkin around.  Fourteen, almost fifteen months now and a barrel of fun and love.

Last year the DIL and I (and the hubby) did some Christmas puzzles and had a blast.  I think this is now a new tradition.  A puzzle has been ordered and should be here in a few days and we all can't wait.  I look forward to Thanksgiving night, the lights twinkling from the tree which is being readied now, a peppermint moca coffee and diving into the puzzle box looking for the edge pieces to start.  Yes, new traditions in the making.  Its all good.

Blessings to you.

  4. Traditions certainly have changed for me the longer I have been away from "home" -- friends have moved on, kids have gotten older. Everything is meant to change. We just gotta learn to adjust. Sounds like you have some lovely new traditions to look forward to. YEA! No malware popup this time. Have a great day! Tammy

  8. A very happy belated birthday! You brought back some wonderful memories of my family when I was growing up. We loved putting together puzzles and playing chess. This was way before video games. I now miss those days! I may just have to pull out a puzzle now this winter. Thank you!
