I have never had scalloped oysters that I can recall. <BR/>Although our daughter was here Christmas Eve and morning, I still long for her presence, but she is grown now and has people to see and places to go. It makes me realize that we should make the most of the time we have together at what ever time in life it may be. She was reading me a relationship quiz which revealed what makes you feel loved. One way people feel loved is to be touched. Now I realize how important touch is to those who live alone. So I have been spreading the hugs around. Hugs(((You)))Hugs I thought my hubby would like approval most of all. Turned out he needs a hug.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-16452611514411938112008-12-27T16:42:00.000-05:002008-12-27T16:42:00.000-05:00i too miss the hugs of life...when I get one I hol...i too miss the hugs of life...when I get one I hold on as long as I can...Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691830042960318152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-71420388353539595272008-12-27T08:16:00.000-05:002008-12-27T08:16:00.000-05:00Irena, yes there are a lot of memories that I am d...Irena, yes there are a lot of memories that I am documenting for my little 3 and 6 year old.<BR/>Lonely Rivers, thank you for visiting me.One Woman's Journey - a journal being written from Woodhaven - her cottage in the woods.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12548226150115102345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-28624728489216648722008-12-26T23:22:00.000-05:002008-12-26T23:22:00.000-05:00Lovely Holiday memories!

I have been re-living many Christmases in my memory. <BR/><BR/>It is strange that my childhood and youth were filled with a large family and the planning, preparation and final festivities of the day were so exciting. Now I have no decorations up (due to recovering) and have only my son to celebrate with. The traditional turkey dinner will be replaced with ham and not many side dishes. How many leftovers can one person eat? But I am blessed that he has come to spend the holiday with me.<BR/><BR/>Time changes everything.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.com
