Idyll #296-Holiday Festivities

Having a 2 year old around for Christmas sure makes things exciting! She loves candy and it was hard to keep her out of it. She got a oak doll cradle from my parents. The first thing she did was take the blanket and pillow out and sit in it and rock herself. She would like to wish all the Idylls a "Merry Missmas" :o) I forgot my camera at my parents house. I'll have to post some pictures later. Jerri, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. How great that she didn't have to be in a nursing home. Cynthia, great to hear from you. Deanne, I love the Christmas card. The cardinal is just perfect in the wreath. Eden, your cookies look delicous and the silver trays are a nice touch. It looks like Bella is enjoying Christmas and it is so great so see your mom doing well. Jennie and BF make a handsome couple. Norma, no snow here either. That is our grove last winter. Mary, your sister will love the bag. Mine is black with a purple stripe and some purple beads. It is very special to me. Enjoy! Michelle

Thanks very much for the welcome! I am really excited and looking forward to being part of this little group in 2007. Maryanne/earthly, I am so pleased that you remember me and still have some of the items I sent you in 2005. I was involved heavily in the Round Robin Exchange that year, and at the end of the year, I was just burned out! I needed to take the year off. But now I'm back and raring to go! Actually, one reason why I joined is because, after the Christmas I just had, I needed a little pick-me-up. This was basically the year without a Christmas. I got sick with the flu the week before Christmas, but we still decided to go down to visit my DS in Pennsylvania. BUT on Christmas morning at about 5:30 a.m., the cell phone awakened us with the news that my MIL had been found by the neighbors the night before collapsed on her kitchen floor. She'd had a stroke and was in the hospital. My DH is British, and so of course, MIL lives in England. So......we had to spend Christmas day driving home from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts, so that DH could pick up his passport and book a flight home to England. Christmas dinner was a McDonald's chicken sandwich and fries at a rest stop on I-95. Anyway, DH is still there and I'm home alone. She's in her 80s, so the prognosis is for only a limited recovery. Well, that's my sad story, sorry it's such a downer. You all have so much fun on this exchange board, I thought joining would be just the pick-me-up I need! Alison

What a great opportunity you had to give her the snow globe! Even though we lived fairly close to both sets of grandparents and I loved them all, I didn't interact with them much in elementary years or as a teen; but had "snow globe moments" with them from time to time. My mom occasionally mentioned my maternal grandma wondered if I didn't like her because I usually went off to read a book. I just didn't know what to say to her. When I was 12 we moved next door to my paternal grandma to be where we could help her. I never felt close to her really. She tended to be critical and to compare me to, well, pretty much everyone, but she meant well. In college I moved into my mat. grandparents basement apartment to be closer to campus. In my whole life they had never tried to correct me (something I feel is always best left to the parents!). While I lived there they just visited with me, asked me about school and work, told me amusing stories, etc. Never once did I use the kitchen downstairs. I always ate with Gramm and Gramp and they always acted amazed that I would do all the dishes when I "should be studying" or that I could carry my book bag with so many big textbooks. They were delightful and brilliant and the least judgemental people I know! They met my husband long before the rest of my family did and made him feel welcome, too. He feels as close to them as I do. Gramm's been gone nearly 20 yrs now, Gramp has been gone for 11. I still miss them both with all my heart! I think you're wonderful for wanting a close relationship with your family! Just keep loving your little one and be patient. Don't push the relationship. Love her mom, too. Grandparents can be a safe haven when the time is right! Wishing you all the best! Kay

Ok, I liked the one with the picket gate and the little section of picket at the left corner of the yard. Definitely NO HEDGE DOWN THE DRIVE, and no picket down the drive either. It cramps your space, and cuts up your yard. If you do any kind of planting along the front walkway, I think the dwarf boxwood, Korean I think they are, will stay small with a minimum of trimming. And over in your neighbor's yard, if he permits it, a clump of white birch surrounded by a circle of ground cover such as vinca and lily of the valley. And that inspiration house is classic Irish cottage. It looks like my DH's mama's stone cottage where she was born and raised near the Cliffs of Moher. I heartily recocmmend you go to western Ireland, like County Clare and Galway and even down to the Ring of Kerry. There is so much ROCK everywhere. And go to Inishmore if you want to see a lot of rock fences. It looks like honeycombs made of rock, had to put them somewhere so they use rock walls to build fences to keep in the cows and horses, sheep and goats. And we loved being there so much, we are going back again next spring. I will be driving, and this time we get an automatic transmission, not a straight shift, which put my hip out of joint about three inches. I could barely walk when we got home. Too much clutching on those narrow roads, don't chaknow.
