PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW

It's the day after the turkey. Frank & I had a nice time together just the two of us. No hurry, no rush, just relax all day. Took my time preparing the traditional dinner which was cooked by Vons, so all I had to do was heat it up and cook some dishes. Adam, Chante & Gina stopped by around three and stayed awhile before heading to her mother's. Tim, Leah, Timothy, Larissa and Roxie, their dog, came by around 6 PM for dessert. I had a cherry, chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding and pumpkin pies to choose from. Roxie is the cutest little thing. A good dog. Listens well, didn't smell that dog smell (which i don't like), friendly and didn't pee in my house.

Today I'm looking at cameras on the internet. I have this urge to buy myself a good camera. I'd like the one on TV, the Nikon D30. Whew! I won't be getting that for a long time. The price!!
My dad always had a camera on hand. He was a picture taker. So many memories he captured for me growing up with all my cousins.

I miss my dad. I wish I had...
Talked more with him.
Ask him to teach me cribbage
Ask him about his Navy days
have him teach me to keep score while watching a baseball game
have him give me that red covered WWII book which he would read to me. I've looked for that book at moms but it's gone. I always have the hope that it will be found one day.


No plans for today but chill out with Frank. He just dug out the Christmas music (his tradition) and it's playing. Candles are lit, there's a chill outside, perfect weather. Frank will do his thing, I'll do mine and then we'll meet up around noon and spend the rest of the day together. I never get tired of spending time with my man. 37 years together and it does get better. He is my BFF. I love his sense of humor, which keeps me laughing so much. Silly stuff, but so funny between us.


It's time to get myself dressed. I'm still in my pj's and it's almost 10 AM.

I do thank the Lord for my life and His great riches for me, His revealed mysteries, His Son, His eternal Word, HIM.
