    We've heard from both of our kids via text and shared photos on line. Technology has some really great features for families who live far apart. We have West Coast, East Coast and Midwest immediate family members. We share photos, call when we want, and are able to stay in touch. I'd still like my very own Star Trek Transporter but this will do for now. :bigsmile:

    Technology certain does have some great features. :)

    I communicate with my family via email and facebook, and yesterday my parents and I skyped. :)

    I'm thinking about doing a video walking around our garden and house for my parents as well.



    Michele, I post videos to Flickr and then bring them across to here, like this ...

    Been a very long Christmas day. Grandkids up at 5 for presents-they had a great time. We spent the day playing with their toys, visiting, and eating. Had grilled skirt steak, beans, rice, salsa for Christmas dinner. Food not so bad, but the deserts were definitely an indulgence. Over calories for the day, but enjoyed each one. Will be sensible tomorrow. Hope to take grandkids down to play ground-will get some movement in for me and them. Toe is still a lovely shade of purple, but swelling is going down.

    Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday and got to spend time in a way that is meaningful to them.

    Heather: From the looks of the folks on the beach and in the water, it appears that you are having Christmas in summertime. People look like they’re having a great time in the water and on the beach. :star:

    Karen in VA: I love the photos of your granddaughters. Lovely! :smiley:

    Kim in CA: I’ll bet your friends and family look forward to those Christmas cookies. How do you keep from nibbling bits of dough? Chocolate chip cookie dough is my favorite but I haven’t had any for a very long time. :ohwell:

    I had phone conversations with my adult kids today. DS and family were full of happiness. DD seemed a bit down. They are at her mother-in-law’s place. I’ve been there, and it can certainly be discouraging. There always seems to be family drama there. I hope my daughter can get some rest tonight and go to her own home tomorrow.

    Hello everyone.
    I was a nice day yesterday. Smokey the Cat had a lot of fun and it was great catching up with my dear friend. Dinner was good, but like most I went overboard and found myself up 1.8 pounds! I know this is temporary, but as I sit here more bites, tastes, and gulps come to mind so I must update my intake for yesterday.

    Last night I slept over and we ended up talking in to the early hours of the morning. Sleep overs always bring fond memories back to me and I hope I never think I am too old to host or attend one. :smiley: As usual I was up rather early and was going to stay at my friends and then realized, "oh, no, I have to log in to work and watch out for 911s". TG it has been a somewhat slow week - I will continue to check on things throughout the day.

    Heather - Love the pictures. I was thinking it probably would have been a good day to film the "introduction clip" as DH would not need to "fake" joy. :wink:

    Linda - DD's Red Velvet cookies look wonderful. I probably would not be able to stop at 1. Maybe 3......

    Karen - What a beautiful "first" time meet picture of your GDDs.

    Dr Katie - Generational pictures are a wonderful look back and such a great thing for the younger generations to have as memories.

    Evelyn - What a great smile on your GS's face. Makes it all worth it.

    Okie - Enjoy the city. Christmas in NYC is on my bucket list.

    Lisa - I am glad you decided to throw the "get things done gal" out the door so you can enjoy the down time. Things can wait - memories cannot.

    Katla - I am with you. I cannot stop myself from tasting the cookie process from start to finish.

    Kim - Even though I give cookies as gifts I have never been able to think of them as a bottle of wine. I will have to try that next year. I think my rationalization is, heck I can just bake one more batch! I have also found the changes in services have evolved over the years and are dependent upon the church and its parishioners.

    Well, I have got to unpack and check upon work emails. I am looking forward to getting back to my normal routine and foods. And, am hopeful 2020 is going to be a great year for all of us.

    Hugs to all and prayers to those in need.

    Dr. Katie: I love the dress alike photo. It is a keeper and I’d consider framing it if I was you. :heart:

    Viv: You went above and beyond to provide food for people with differing dietary needs. You deserve a gold :star:

    Heather: I’m sorry to know that your DDIL’s jewelry was stolen. I didn't remember. I am happy that she is getting some new jewelry to enjoy. :flowerforyou:

    Machka: Enjoy your 16 day vacation! :bigsmile:

    Barbie: I have either become far more sensitive to salt in the past few years or I’ve finally noticed how it makes me feel. I was always a “saltaholic.” I learned it from my mom. She used to like her palm, pour a bit of salt in it and then lick the salt off. These days, too much salt makes my finger joints hurt. I guess this may be a part of the ages and stages of life changes as we get older. :flowerforyou:

    Lanette: How wonderful that you ran into a dear friend and had the chance to talk for a bit. I’d call that an excellent Christmas Gift. :smiley:


    Yesterday we had phone chats with both of our kids, and an unexpected gift of coffee mugs from our neighbors. L & R. The black mug says “Hubby.” The pink one says “Wifey.” They are nice people and although their gift was totally NOT our style, it was thoughtful of them to give it.

    This morning there was ice on our deck and frost on the lawn. I was very careful when I let the dog go off the deck for his morning constitutional. I'll go out and clean up after him in a bit.
