Story #4

I have been asked about pictures from the old days.  Well...maybe I can find some but I have to look through the albums at my mom's house.   So...I will search for some and post them at the end....if I find some.

Today, I salute all of the creative people in my life.  I am so blessed by people who are able to make things with their hands.  I can come up with concepts and brilliant ideas, but I can't make them look like they look in my head.  My good friend, Tria, would always bring my ideas to life.  We were called the Lucy and Ethel of the church.  But, that is a whole different blog for another time.

I really love holiday creations made by my friends.  And, they always put the personal touch on it by including the color purple in the creation.  My friend, Barbara,  made this beautiful decoration several years ago.  It had a musical theme and was a beautiful shade of purple.  She was worried that I wouldn't like it because it was homemade.  I just think it is LOVEMADE.

Preview for tomorrow:  a memory about when Dad let us open a gift on the morning of Christmas Eve and we even were allowed to choose our package.  My sister, Tina, was not too thrilled with her early gift!
