We had some sunshine all around this weekend. Clear skies most the weekend. We even got a chance to get out to the garden and do some winter clean up and just be outside. My son is in Alaska awaiting a plane to Hawaii, it's taken about three days so far to get from Afghanistan to California. He called from Siberia Friday morning, stopped in Germany, Alaska, Hawaii, and then will be in his own home sometime next week. I know his family is thrilled, I am. His wife called last night to tell me she received a text and then he called right after that. He made it back!

The other son has also been given a clearance to be able to live at our house when he gets to come home. We were told that wouldn't be possible and the thought that this could never be his home again hasn't been fun. That was a ray of hope.
So, it's on to the holiday season and I've decided to get a tree, decorate a little, and celebrate the love this holiday season. I went to a few bazaars to see if I could drum up a little holiday spirit and it worked. I wandered through the pretty things and handmade goodies and talked to artists and old ladies and shared some smiles. I picked up some nice gifts and got some great ideas for my own crafty projects. We are still a family, if only two, but we are a family. Our granddaughter has also been placed in our daily lives to help with this empty nest. That is a big blessing. There is a lot of love in my life!
