Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 6th day of January, 2018.
Happy Birthday to a dear dear friend “L.”
Wishing her a very Happy Birthday.
The sun is out and it is raining.
Yes, it is raining.
January 6th and raining.
WOW.
Slept in a bit later than I had planned but oh well.
I will get everything done ….. just a later start.
Most of my work is in the house anyway …. so the time I start does not matter.
Must go and get that coffee on for my neighbour.
I make the coffee and we share the costs, great deal.
Last night I received another Christmas Card.
This one was friends who were spending time in the U.S.A.
Christmas Cards are one of my favourite parts of the Christmas season.
I love writing them up for friends, family, neighbours and co-workers.
I love to hand deliver and to mail them.
I always send photos to as many folks as I can.
A short note in each and some years, I write a separate letter on pretty holiday decorated paper.
It is a huge part of my preparing for Christmas.
I love receiving them from all over the world.
They come from Sweden, the U.S.A. and all parts of Canada.
It is alike to writing letters which is an art form that has all but passed.
Christmas cards are not as popular as they once were now with the arrival of e-cards and email.
But it is a tradition for me that I keep close to my heart and will continue for as long as I am able.
I do believe that folks love opening the mail box to find cards.
I do believe that folks love receiving a card with a gift.
I do believe that finding a card on your desk at work makes you smile.
Christmas Cards ….. they are for me.
Well time to get this show on the road.
Wishing you all a great Saturday.
Special Hello to: my friend “L” who is having a birthday today. Wishing that I was there.
Always, Carol & Alvin
