Christmas Card 2013

December 23, 2013 By Carole

I failed to mention on Friday that I am on vacation from work until January 6th. I am incredibly happy about this already and know I will be happier still when Christmas has come and gone and there’s nothing on my to-do list but knitting and relaxing. Not that I want Christmas to come and go quickly but, well, you all know what I mean.

In any case, blogging may be sporadic this week what with the entertaining and the merrymaking and all. In the meantime, this picture of Dale and I from our 2013 Christmas card should keep you in the holiday spirit.

God Jul, indeed.

    Best Christmas card ever!!! We received yours the same day one came from “the bishop”. His was double printed so it was too blurry to read. I burst out laughing as the cards went from the ridiculous to the sublime!

    Hope you had an excellent Christmas. Also, just so you know, I took inspiration from an earlier blog entry and made Swedish meatballs for some annual Christmas eve visitors. The meatballs were a big hit. Next year, I’m doubling the recipe.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
