We were never so glad to get him home! The kids made signs to welcome Daddy home, and as Danae told Leroy when he got out "Dad, Mom was lost with you gone". She was so telling the truth. I was completely lost without him here, he's my rock.
So maybe things will turn around for us, things can only get better from here right? Here's some randomness for the day.....So I always say I can't stand this town, and for the most part it's just something to blame on all the bad stuff that's happened in the last year and a half. In this town live some pretty wonderful people. I'll call them Mr. & Mrs Kindhart. They are a wonderful, caring and genuinely generous people. I've come to see them regularly when I'm working here in Fillmore and they are so sweet. Before I took off for Leroy's surgery Mr. Kindhart asked for our address because Mrs. Kindhart wanted to bake something for us. I said you don't have to do that and gave our address. Lo and behold, today they came over with a homemade lasagna! (I've been craving lasagna for weeks but didn't want to bake it myself) Me and my emotional self cried at the true generosity of them. I can't even begin to thank them and how special it was to come over. And the lasagna was awesome! The world is a horrible place sometimes, but it's people like these that make me think we can make it here.
And....I finished my Christmas cards! Anyone who truly knows me knows I take cards seriously. There are no bought cards in this house baby, all handmade here. Hallmark gets 0% of my paychecks. I'm usually done by now, actually I was done I just hadn't put them together which is the hard part. So this weekend I sat myself down and finished. I stamped, colored, flocked and glittered every single one by hand! I love making something with my own hands, it makes me feel useful and give something that can't be bought. I know, I'm a little nutty =)
Danae decided to decorate her dresser for Christmas!
