Still no word from out east about a new grandson but.......I have to convince myself that I am not the one pushing this agenda so I will get on with my life and concentrate on other things besides being a grandma.
I LOVE this season. Right now I am enjoying a cup of hot jasmine tea, knitting by the Christmas tree while carols entertain me, and have my evergreen candle burning non-stop. The smells, sights, and music of the season overwhelm my senses. I do enjoy buying gifts at this time of year but have never been so busy that I have failed to enjoy the true meaning of the season.
Take time to relive your childhood past and get caught up in the memories that must abound. The gifts you received were fleeting; the memories have lasted your lifetime. And not all Christmas memories are glorious, but they all remind us at this time of year that there is goodness, kindness, and compassion in most people's heart.
I was hoping to share some other good news with all of you at this time, but I have no earth shattering pronouncements, just a reminder to enjoy this season for what it truly is: A gift!

At The Drop of a Hat
"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. I'm standin' here outside my door!" When the phone call comes, I am on my way to Washington, DC to meet my new grandson. Trouble is, I haven't gotten the call yet and I have found that I am much more anxious and time is moving much slower than it did when I was having my own children. Seems I'm not a good waiter!
So much has been going through my mind since we found out in May that "Buster" was going to join our family. I simply cannot wait to snuggle a little baby neck again and kiss soft, quiet cheeks. I do rocking really well and my gentle lullabies will still convince a small child to fall gently to sleep. What wishes and hopes I have for that tiny little boy.
But, as Ellen says, he's still cooking and right now he holds all the cards. His birth day will be decided by him. But does he understand how excited this whole family is to take him in our arms and welcome him into the family? Maybe he does and that's why he's taking his time. Stay tuned!!!
