Eli Living in the Same Town...

 Breakfast with Eli after Christmas.  What a great young man. 

And, I'm thankful.

The Saviour!

 

And, I am so grateful.

Grandchildren!

 It's been a very LONG time since a grandchild sent me a note....

So, when this came in the mail the other day, I was so thrilled!!!!!

Thanks, Calder, you made my day!

And, I am thankful for you!

ALLEN

 Today I walked with Dorothy.

She has been widowed nearly one year.

This morning, she told me that being alone is HELL!

I'm so grateful that Allen is still alive!

Having Brent and Jenni Live Nearby

 

One of life's greatest blessings is having Jenni and Brent live about a mile away.  I'm so very grateful.

OUR WARD

 We had a Christmas party this morning.  

So many people had helped and there was a great short program featuring on Christ.

It made me so grateful for the good people on our neighborhood and ward.

Good Neighbors

 Trent Coombs brought over these gingerbread cookies recently.

Allen set them up by the teeny tree, and took this picture.   (Allen actually put those little eyes on the cookies.)

They look too delicious to eat. 

But, this makes me thankful for such good people in our neighborhood.

Time with Allen

 This morning, I read a paper that Allen had written about his jobs over his lifetime.  It was very interesting and entertaining.  

Then, while eating breakfast (a green smoothie), he told me more about the jobs.  He got emotional as he told me about the people at the newspaper who put great faith in him.  It was a tender, poignant moment, and I was grateful we have this time inner lives together.  It's a great blessing.

And, I am grateful.

The Gift of Family

 

This just made my heart happy when I saw it.  What a marvelous couple.  And Baby Bri.
