25th December 2020

 Ans so the Christmas Day unfolded, with a  grey sky turning to blue and the sun rising in the East. The flowers in the garden continue to show their colours, and all is well.

I wish you all Season's Greetings, for a safe and Happy Christmas, travel restrictions mean so many of you will not have family visiting, but love travels across miles and oceans always.

The best present of all was given to me by a surgeon from Spokane, Washington. 2 weeks ago .  She is now at Whanganui Hospital in the Opthalmology Department The lovely lady looked into my eyes, and said I am on the list for cataract surgery. Probably within 3 to 4 months, so there is time for me to get all the fabric sorted, tidied up, and  prepare myself for  surgery. 

Thank you all so much for the continued friendship , this is something we all value, share, and treasure 

Quotation for today.

" May the gifts of Peace and Happiness be with you, wherever you live "

Greetings from Jean

It's a green (well, mostly brown) rainy Christmas here in Eastern Canada. Glad to know you are lined up for cateract surgery, Jean. Had mine removed fourteen years ago. Couldn't believe how glorious colours then appeared. You also will be thrilled, I'm sure! Here's to a new and improved year for us all!

Merry Christmas, dear Jean. I had that surgery and it was very easy and made a big difference.

I remember my mother saying she saw color so much better after her cataract surgery. Maybe you should wait to sort fabric until it is over. Good thoughts flying your way for Christmas and the coming year.

I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and have a wonderful New Year. I wish you all the best on your cataract surgery. I know you must be looking forward to getting that taken care of. I traveled to Kentucky from Tennessee to be with my sister and her family. It was a wonderful time. Carol
