Christmas 2008 at our House

Lee and I had a quiet Christmas at home, just the two of us. It was an enjoyable time and I must admit restful. In fact the writer of this blog, spent more time in bed resting than anything. I really liked that and felt like I needed it and apparently Lee didn't mind as his Christmas Poem to me indicated. I don't think he wasn't too upset by my restful day.

"Scamper's" Christmas Poem
- 2008 -
Springtime came and slipped away,
Summer arrived with a warmer day.
Fall winds blew pretty leaves all around,
Winter now is here with snow on the ground.
Christmas season has come, so they say.
December 25th is that wonderful day!
God gave us His Son our sins to forgive,
That in heaven with Him we forever could live.
So let us together, just you and I,
Spend this day together thanking God on high.
Pretty presents under the tree,
Some for you and some for me.
Can't guess what they are, so lets go and see!
Merry Christmas with Love,
Rob

My poem was written on a large piece of cardboard as is usual now that Lee has very diminished eyesight, but the effort he put in to creating it and putting it on that cardboard is something I shall forever treasure.

I fixed Lee one of his favorite things for our Christmas dinner. Split Pea Soup with ham. Not my favorite, but Lee was very happy with our 2008 Christmas dinner.

Hope all my blogger friends had a wonderful Christmas.

One TOWLE Birthday in December

I'm behind in some birthdays in our family and for that I apologize - no excuses like I have been too busy, my mind has been on getting ready for a surgery that was canceled, and probably the correct reason - I really am getting old (even though I try to think I am still young) and I just plain didn't get my act together until now when I am behind.

That being said - here I go....... On December 17th, Stephanie celebrated her birthday!

Happy Birthday,
Stephanie

So very sorry the day slipped by -
But better late than never!
This blog is bringing just for you,
The warmest wishes ever!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Steph!
Love, Lee and Bette
