A visit to the Conservatory

Today a couple of friends and I went to the Conservatory in Highland Park. The theme was still Christmas. Beautiful Poinsettias in all colors.The sun was shining and the plants enjoyed it like we did.They had a saying there , we need the sun also the flowers. Outside where children sledding on the hills. What a nice day.

Thanks for the memories

All I remember from the Christmas colds that many people did not feel normal, but how they felt I did not know until this week when I came down with it. Sorry kids I give you a lot of credit for trying to be normal when you did not feel good.I have been laying low this week, and I do not have to go to party's.

A other great get together foe Christmas. Today it was at Evie and Jim.What a joy to see them having a good time. I am amazed over my granddaughters[in law] how clever they are. The things they make and how they know how to please someone. Love you all.Here are a few pictures of the day.

Christmas Eve.

We had as always a real nice Christmas Eve. This year it was by Louise and she did a beautiful job. Just got a e mail from Oom Gerrit and told him I would put a couple pictures on the blog.

A other generation.

I have to put this picture on my blog. It was a two generations ago that my husband sat with one of his daughters by the piano. Jimmy called me yesterday morning and said that Molly, his daughter want to come to my house for a tea party. Jimmy remembers that was a big part of our life every day.So I was very pleased that Molly wanted to come.Keep the memories going.And then this picture did something for me.
