Hello Tina and Phyliss, Lovely to hear all your Xmas news and know you both had a happy time with families and friends. Me too, Xmas day we had a picnic up country, a lovely spot with lots of grass and trees, a dam(small lake) with ducks and geese swimming on it, and a lot of friendly horses, The weather was just perfect, sunny but not too hot. David- son-inlaws. family arranged this so they were a lot of their side there, and some of ours, minus of course second son who lives in Sydney and his family*their new baby is due in three weeks) It was a great afternoon, lots of food, talk and laughter, and the kringle gift exchange.
Then Sunday afternoon we had another 'Xmas' at youngest son and family's house, as they had been with my d-in=laws family on Xmas Day. It was also a birthday celebration for their little girl Matilda, who turned three. So there was Xmas cake, and birthday cake, and lots more gifts for the three little ones. I did pretty well overall! I got 2 boxes of chocolates, a lovely copper bracelet, book and movie gift vouchers, a cheque from my brother in Canada, a certificate for a free massage, oh, and a dear little 'lucky bamboo' plant. I feel quite spoiled!
Weather is still mild rather than hot.. this is GOOD!
So New Years Eve tomorrow.. thinking of you both and your families.. may 009 bring nothing but good news for you.
Blessings,
Ellie.

Hi Ellie & Tina,

Ellie, Your Christmas celebration sounded like a great one with family. I always loved horses and the country description was great.

I will be looking forward to hear about the new baby once the baby arrives.

It must have been fun with Matilda celebrating her 3rd birthday.

I am glad that you had excellent weather too. We are expecting a snowstorm today.

Wishing you both a Happy, healthy, peaceful New Year.

Warmest wishes,
Phyllis
