Mallory made this for me for Christmas! So very precious to me! She is a creative spirit with a tender heart! My grandfather was very special to me and as we live in his home the memories stay fresh. Today we are having our Christmas/Birthday special "fancy" (using our wedding china set with the kids for the first time!) meal and I am preparing duck stuffed with sauerkraut as my grandmother would. It won't be nearly as good as hers, but the aroma that is filling the house is taking me back in time to all the amazing Christmases spent here. I'm listening to my new Highwaymen (Cash, Jennings, Kristofferson, & Nelson) CDs that my bro gave me and they remind me so of my youth and of my grandfather and father. The beautiful gently flowing snow is making the farm look so picturesque! My heart is full of thanksgiving today! Some days you have to take the time to remember and ponder what/who brought you to where you are now and praise the One who is behind the design of your personal tapestry of life! Praise be to Jesus and thank you to all my family and friends who have invested part of their life with me and my family! Enjoy this holiday time with those special to you!
Very cool picture. Great work Mal. Great to hear about your day. Thanks for sharing and for being such a great example for me.
