Christmass and New Year.

Christmass was wonderful!  I got to travel south to Jacksonville and visit with the family.  So many wonderful memories!  The kids all seem to be doing great.

I suppose I should not call them kids anymore as they are all older now.  I still see the kids in them though.

And I get to embarrass them now and then.  How cool it that?   

Jennifer (The nurse) always loving and kind.

Donald (The Rocket Scientist) truly one of the most brilliant men I've ever known.

Eve (The Librarian) The quiet and loving one.  She doesn't say a whole lot, but I always see it in her eyes.

Patricia (The Trouble Maker) She's the one that shakes things up and keeps everyone else on their toes.  She's turning into the most amazing woman.

I won't play favorite's as I can't.  They are all my favorites.  Each in their own way has touched and touches my life and being.

We talked, we sang, we ate, we listened, we told stories.  We went on a hay ride for the Luminaries and shot each other with marsh mellow guns and threw candy at each other and everyone else in sight.

And mostly we laughed a lot!  Seems I don't do a lot of laughing except when I'm home.

I will do so soon enough though as I plan to move there in the next few months. 

Seems to me there are things I should be doing there that I can't do here.  Not sure how to explain that one.  But it is what it is.  God talks, I do my best to listen.

I asked one of my sister's in law about things and was told "you already know".  She's right.  It's been in my mind for a couple of years now actually.  Now the time has come.

Thanks Terri!  HUGS

She's most likely now hiding her face, flipping me the bird and cursing my name under her breath.

I love you anyway Terri.

Closing for now as it's my beloved's birthday and I want to call or write to remind her that I love her.

All things are as they should be.  Always!  This is God's plan for us.

John.
