The Tree and My Little Sock Monkey

Here is the money shot prior to the carnage of unwrapping.

My tradition of rising early and getting the coffee going allows me the privilege of having a few quiet moment alone. However now that my little ones are nearly all grown up the chaos of Christmas morning is a lot calmer.

In fact I had to finally go and wake the DD up after I had endured the peace and quiet long enough.

Mom wanted to open some presents!

But moving on the really important things…My Little Sock Monkey on her first Christmas!

She had a wonderful time playing with all the torn up paper and empty boxes.

lol! My 13 year old was ready at 8:50; 16 year old had an alarm set for 9:00; the 19 and 22 year old were sleeping until someone woke them. I understand - but I don't miss the 7:00 carnage - I will take the 9 a.m.! but NO later! Merry Christmas!

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book!

The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
