Hello to all my foodie friends out there in web land and it Christmas Eve and no snow here in fact its warmed up, go figure. It snowed like November 1st and now its going to be a 70's kind of day this Christmas 2014. I've been blessed this Christmas with my boys coming home to spend some time with us and we have done the family thing of playing, shopping, catching up, and most of all eating. Got love Christmas because it helps us all share more love to each other and it helps me remember what's important in this life, family and friends. The love of how people act toward each other with the giving and receiving of so much love this time of year. Its heart warming to me so I guess its how we share the love of Christ in our lives. This time of year brings out the best in people from rich and poor alike. Its wasn't always that way when I was a kid, our dad had a drinking problem so it took away all that love that needed to be shared but I know we wont the only family that had a problem like that. However we learned to get over it and put on your big boy pants and head out into the world and live life in a better way. Any way am so thankful for my family with my hubby, daughter, son's, and grandchildren. Family is what makes life worth living for no matter if they are dysfunctional or not. Hey families all you have in this world and what we learned as kids is to stick it out no matter what and help each other over the humps in your lives. Any who I hope that your humps are not so high to get over and that life brings you a lot of smalls ones to deal with and that you are able to learn from each hump. Anyway here's to the small humps of life and may you all have a very Merry Christmas and that all your wishes come true.
