We were as broke as we have ever been this year,but Brodie was 2 1/2 so the presents and thh fesivities were a wonder to him.Steve did have to work but God was watching over us as he made sure he got to spend most of his time with family .We had a quiet day but filled with lots of joy .The turkey was great (of course i was doing the cooking)The horse got grated carrots in their beet pulp and the cats and dogs were treated with canned food this year.I talked to many friends on line and on the phone .I did really miss one friend and her daughter this year but i made it, thou she called me twice xmas day so that made me feel good.
This past year has been filled with many ups and downs heart break and joy .thou through each heart break i have made a few more friends which is a gift that last for years.To each of you remember the joys that have been given in the past year and look for ward to ones in the coming year.
