I could use some heat about now! It's been about 34 degrees! I think it's going to be warmer Friday-up to 55. I just freeze. It's now 2009.. The kids were asking how long till 2010 two days ago, and I thought and said 367 days. Weird, huh!? That used to seem soooo far into the future!<BR/>Happy New Year to you too! : ) Drive carefully, and thanks for staying in touch!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575643970869438173.post-82428598925314474632008-12-31T13:32:00.000-06:002008-12-31T13:32:00.000-06:00Hi Holly!

The big ...The trip down south today was quite fun! The big kids (MC & Clay) soak up knowledge like a sponge. Our word for the day was 'foreign' with a silent 'g'. MC sketched my route for a visit to Bogota, Columbia on her Map of the World and I simply cannot wait to make that magic happen.<BR/><BR/>Our visiting loved ones not seen in a long while was wonderful for each of us. They know how to love unconditionally with a deep joy in their hearts. Both our Aunt and Uncle were born in 1919. Can you imagine the history they have experienced living through the great depression as well the modern technological advances they themselves enjoy? <BR/><BR/>Our dear Aunt lovingly explains her daily life, her continued sadness in losing her precious daughter much too early in her life, her happiness this Christmas as every member of her immediate family joined in for a joyous day of catching up on family festivity, and we learn that no matter how far away we are, or how close we are, that her love is always with us. <BR/><BR/>What stories they could tell if only we had more time to spend with them..<BR/><BR/>As I left her, she gave me a hug, then reached for me again and squeezed me so tightly, I didn't even know she had that kind of strength, and told me with certainty, "I want to give you a bear hug, so you know you have REALLY been hugged and I love you so much". <BR/><BR/>With that, she unlocked her freezer of 'great delights' and gave me a freshly frozen quart of strawberry jam. <BR/><BR/>I smiled happily all the way home. Love is always there, but sometimes we simply need to reach out and enjoy it.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699825891880701908noreply@blogger.com
