You know the holidays have ended when you see the yellow school buses go buzzing by. Another year has rolled off the books and we are beginning a new one. We can hope to be a little smarter and wiser this year. Lots of work to be done, which in this household includes boxing up the balance of Christmas decorations. Valentines are already displayed in stores so here we go again. Happy 2008.

Happy Birthday to Gladys Randle, of Tupelo, whose birthday is tomorrow, January 12.

Christmas is around the corner and all I can think about is the Christmas past when the family was all together and we would have a few gifts to pass out and a lot of fruit, candy canes, and the food out was of this world, because it was all made from scratch. You didn’t get the finest of clothes, pc, cameras and so on, but you appreciated what you got because you knew your mom and dad worked so hard to get you these items with small wages and you would more than likely not get anything else till the next Christmas.

The outside scenery is not quite as pretty now since most of the beauty that was displayed with so many colors of leaves is now gone just bare trees and the beauty gone too. But in our minds there is a period of rest and when the time arrives again new life will show up and there will be beauty again. However, there is still a view now and nature is being displayed in a different way, with the season changes.

I dont have all my decorations up, and I dont have much shopping done. I havent done all my Christmas Cards, but maybe Ill make it by Christmas!

The WMU met at Patsy Grishams Monday night, December 3. We had a real good program. Patsy had her house decorated so pretty with 3 Christmas trees. She had delicious refreshments, one of the best fruit salads I have had in a while.
