This was on your big brother’s Facebook page the other day. Of course, we are Facebook friends. I am friends with younger brother and your Auntie Bea too! She’s been sick lately. She’s pulling through though. She was home sick for a bit so she put herself to work putting her Christmas tree up. She’s a great example of someone who tries very hard to surround herself with good people. That’s good advice! Drama club went very well today. The kids are working super hard to learn their lines for the January performance. My finger is still swollen. If it’s still swollen tomorrow, I’ll go back to urgent care. I did manage to go to the new house and take a few pictures. The roses in the yard are still in bloom. Yes, I’m going to be surrounded by loveliness. Roses, trees, lots of space. Ah! I’ll need to go shopping for furniture. First on the list: a washer and dryer. I’m so excited! A secret to being happy is to surround yourself with good people, beautiful places and things that make you smile
