I am so envious that you managed to knit him something that looks so great on him long distance. I've tried twice with my faraway son and both times were a big fail.<br />Yes, it hurts the heart when the kids and grandkids are so far away. I think how lucky my mom was to have kept all of her girls so close. She had a short life but a very happy one full of family and love. I've lived longer but pretty much alone and sometimes I wonder who got the better deal.Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-91581958313639793002019-02-04T19:01:50.555-06:002019-02-04T19:01:50.555-06:00I enjoyed every bit of this post and am sorry to c...I enjoyed every bit of this post and am sorry to confess that I laughed out loud that you you did not get free gas for your birthday, [but I know that is what you hoped I would do :-) ] So neat you got gifted the flowers and cocoa, however. It sounds like you had a happy birthday celebration and I am so glad you did.I continue to marvel at all your stitching and agree that Alex is a handsome model! My oldest niece who lives near Omaha on a farm has been back and forth to CA several times recently and I got to visit with her when I flew down Jan. 10-15. and will get to see her and more of the family February 8-10 when I fly down for the service. I am cheered to know that if you two retire in NE I will have a chance to visit you face to face if I fly back to visit my niece's family which I hope to do in future years. We have big fluffy flakes falling outside...some even sticking...and I am grateful to be cozy inside! Thanks for sharing the verse. I always look forward to what the Lord has you share! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-19511859578476172732019-02-04T17:23:24.463-06:002019-02-04T17:23:24.463-06:00Good to hear from you.
