2015 has been a very eventful year for my family.  We have had great joy in the experiences we have shared with our Children and Grandchildren this year, and we have experienced sorrow as we have had to deal with the unexpected loss of loved ones who have passed from this life much to young.  We have traveled through the paths of life; suffered through its hardships and rejoiced in its bounties. We are most grateful that the good Lord has blessed us and allows us to continue on this journey.  This is the Christmas season and it is my hope that we continue to put Christ, not only in our Christmas, but in every day.  Let this be our gift to Him who gave so much to us....that is My Christmas Wish for all. God Bless and Merry Christmas! See ya again soon, if the good Lord is willin'  and the creek don't rise :)
