A new grandchild, born in November, took us to Sonoma, Ca for our Thanksgiving.
And then, it was full engagement, planning for the Christmas holidays. We had 4/5 of our sons along with a few spouses and we hosted our huge family Christmas party for 67 of us.
Beginning with December 19, each day was a glorious celebration; until December 24.
The next three days were the most unhappiest days of my life, second to the sudden death of my father when I was 15 years old.
I'm thankful that I have a job to look toward each day which I looked to, joyfully, after our holiday break. I love getting up at 5:30 knowing I have a place to go each day. Each day, I get to be with 5th and 6th graders. I just love them all.
Weekends are a different story.
I had plans to share all my table settings, menus and holiday decor with you. It was all down by December 27.
2016 my husband I also lost many friends. We, like others, were happy to get that year behind us for many reasons. However, 2017 has not been off to a good start. And January isn't over.
