MERRY CHRISTMAS. & A Blessed Holy Season to us all.
Michelle Law's Christmas haircut was the same day as my Christmas curls appointment at Hair Rescue on US 90. It was the first time I had seen Michelle since her husband Jerome's funeral at Mt Olive Baptist Church.
"How are you and the children doing" I asked. "One day at a time" she answered. Then she told about how they decided to take turns in the kitchen after her mother's comforting visit ended. Jerome's travail was long. The children switched from homeschool to Suwannee County School system but he & Michelle continued to teach love by example. The family coped then and they have come up smiling now too. Charlie invites his family to eat with Chef Charlie on his night. Grace calls her night "Gourmet Dining with Grace" and Michelle's night Is Michelle Magic. Somehow this glimpse of bravery warmed my heart.
Goldie Marie and Ted Fralick with Chad (in his 20's now)came to deliver a Christmas present, a Guidepost Daily Devotion Book.
Goldie Marie and I shared friendship with one she called Miss Margaret, (Margaret McLeran). Margaret liked to give her chosen friends the Guidepost Devotional at Christmas. GoldieMarie carries on the tradition while I bet Margaret smiles down from the heavenlies.
We caught the afterglow of Fralick's having just bought a 26 foot motorhome in Lake City.(Merry Christmas) It will sleep 8 and GM. and T. will see how many of their immediate family will find themselves able to accept an invitation to see Maine and New England this summer.
In addition the Fralick' drop in was when our teenage Gainesville Grandsons (McCreas) plus parents, were visiting us for their Christmas gift of themselves. We have convinced them that time together is much better than anything purchased and wrapped. It was!
I love to call up the mental picture of four young men in my kitchen (where the cookies were) enjoying one another. It was instant friendship. We knew all four of them as little boys. It seems like only yesterday. Now they fill up a kitchen and demolish quantities of calories without getting fat. :-) Even so, they make me unafraid to leave this world to them !
I'm sure the problem of transferring the WCA pictures to this blog would not stymie them. It does me, surely it is only a temporary stymie.
