Today I went Christmas shopping for my dad. He gave me a list of names, some cash and told me to buy something nice. After wondering around figuring out what to buy for people I don’t know that well and finding all the wrapping paper and such I would need to wrap them with I went back to his house. I put up his Christmas tree while he sat in the recliner and talked about what I had picked out for people, past Christmases and his dog. By the time I sat down this afternoon I was pretty well beat. It was nice though. I enjoyed talking with my daddy while I put up his tree. He is like a little kid when it comes to Christmas, he gets so excited and there is a little twinkle in his eye. Days like to today keep me form taking my Daddy for granted. I’m so fortunate that he is here and healthy enough to be at home.

During the buzz of the day I received news that one of my friends lost their son in a car wreak today. He was only 15. It’s so sad. My heart goes out to their family.

So far it’s been an okay weekend even though Donny had to stay in Nashville. I miss him but I know this is how things are and have to be for a while so I am keeping a stiff upper lip, as it were.

You know the other day I was out shopping and saw a lot of the teachers I had in grade school. Seeing them sparked a lot of memories. It’s funny what you remember about people. Little things that are said in passing or funny little happenings that really had no substance yet that’s what you remember about people.

Oh well, hope everyone is well!

Much Love.
