    Karen in VA, such a beautiful picture of Olivia. She'll be two soon!

    Thank you for your sweet words, I do feel the love. We have such a special group of ladies. Unbelievable the close bond we all have when never having met face to face. <3

    Good Morning!
    Christmas Eve is the day of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College Chapel, Cambridge. I listen to it every year at 3 pm. (I think you abroad can hear it live on the BBC Radio or Sounds App, time adjusted, or as a podcast later.) I am not religious, but love the words of the King James Bible and the old and new carols. I always put the Christmas lights on and make time to relax and think about loved ones. Yes, I have a cry, but a good cry. <3:) It links with something very deep in my childhood.

    Other than that, I hope to go for a run, weather permitting, and a little bit of last minute food shopping in walking distance.

    Katla - Sending love to you. <3<3<3 I'm glad you have the spring trip to look forward to. Missing your grandchildren can be as bad as missing a lover, it is an almost physical longing. I miss mine already and I know I am so lucky.

    Olivia is sooooooooooooo precious, Karen.

    Oh, I still have to wrap DH's Santa presents. :o:D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Machka Your hair is so pretty. I'm going to make some guesses at your garden pics: bleeding heart, shallots, cauliflower, and apple. And doggie. How far off am I?

    Thank you to you and others. :)

    The garden is actually potatoes, onions, cauliflower and apple. And doggie. :) You were very close. :grin:

    Penny thanks for the Pretty Ugly flip!
    Machka     lovely hair, fun ornaments, whenever do you have time to garden? 30C? Must admit to a bit of sunshine envy...
    KJ coal into a diamonds, LOL!
    Karen in VA Olivia YUM! ;)
    Barbie so sorry your cold has you down. Sleep is the very best thing you could do for yourself.
    pip ditto Lisa's hopes and Katla's prayers for Kirby.

    Presents wrapped and under lit tree. Ornaments on tomorrow, with eggnog and fruitcake. Looking forward to a quiet two days not leaving home. Expect that will be enough to give me cabin fever ;)

    Merry Christmas my very dears and God bless us all!

    Lighter, lovelies!

    I don't garden at all ... that's my husband's area. :) It's what he's been doing since he returned from the hospital.

    Machka The only time I have had a potato plant was when a composting potato sprouted because I didn't keep things hot & stirred up...so those little flowers, do they produce a fruit of some kind? Can you eat a potato fruit?

    Good morn,all.Been trying to catch up,but losing that battle.Just going to say hello before another month is history.

    So happy we planned a very quiet Christmas. We love quiet holidays. House is clean,a few decorations sparkling.DD is spending time with her Sis & that is going well.The girls & Grand kids keep us up to date on line & phone.

    Just yesterday,a cold came to visit. Hate,hate colds!This seems to be mostly a sore throat & feeling tired. Thankful we can get thru it right here at home. No cooking that Has to be done,no ppl coming,nor do we Have to go anywhere. Ahhhh.....just a day of reading,tv,talking to DH,snoozing & quiet.We’ll go thru pics from back in the day,missing & loving all those we no longer have with us.

    My word for this year is self-compassion.Just a reminder that I need to show myself love & caring.

    Enjoyed the posts about your holidays along with the pics.Wishing you all A Happy,Healthy New Year.

    I've no idea ... I wasn't expecting them to flower, but my husband says that when the flower goes away, then we can try digging up one potato plant to see if there are potatoes ready to eat. So I think they might just go to seed.
