We have brand new snow, it will sparkle when and if the sun comes out, and it will squeek beneath our feet. It will be -50 below windchills in a few days...Christmas or the day after...uffda. I am real sure I could miss that and not be sad. Today I shovel what I can....I think the days of clearing off the entire patio have come and gone. Merry Christmas from Minnesota! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-84876506967747573562017-12-21T02:41:14.091-08:002017-12-21T02:41:14.091-08:00A nice post.

We're lucky that our daughter always comes home to us for Christmas, it would break my heart if she didn't. You are so lucky to still have your Mom, mine has been gone for 24 years and Mac's for 27.

I am sure the rest of family will be<br />with you in spirit. I'm having Christmas at my sister's (Lynette) daughter's (Kate) place.<br />We HOPE to get mother there for a little time. The great grandkids - I think 6 on Lynette's<br />side will be there..........hopefully they will be all water babes and stay in the pool.<br />Kate and her family live about 1/2 between my place, Terrigal, and Mother at Bateau Bay.<br />Just 10 minute, traffic permitting at this time of year, both directions.<br />Yesterday was an absolute scorcher but a storm came late afternoon and the temperature<br />plummeted..........vunderbar! <br />Cheers and have fun<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-78870203612975651912017-12-20T13:16:18.316-08:002017-12-20T13:16:18.316-08:00Christmas of a different kind this year for you.

The difference this year will be me staying in London and not travelling to Manchester to spend Boxing day with Mum. She will be missed.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.com
