Special Times

  So much keeps happening for weeks that I am simply growing older without time to reflect on the negatives like aches or vision issues. I must say I hope I do not jinx this. 
  The holiday time gave us chances to meet up with many of our family ties and it felt great most of the time. I shall post more on my other blog as this is to be photos.
  Here is one of my gals, daughters and granddaughters, sisters, Auntie loves playing with her niece while Mom looks on happily just chilling with her youngest wh is also watching..

    On NEW Years Eve our Buddy always makes sure we get all into the moment festively. He got the hats and stuff out of storage during the day and made sure the bubbly pomegranate was chilled and toast glasses were set. This photo is from the first minutes of 2019. We played the original game of Sorry leading up to midnight to end that year.

   This year will mark our Golden Anniversary. I never dreamed I would be blessed to live this long and enjoy the journey even though it still comes with hard knocks. 
   I feel happy to have my follower friends who cheer me on. May it continue as the days move along another year of special times.

P.S.  Did you se the wolf moon on Sunday? It was too cold and cloudy here.

Hi There, It's great to see more of your family... I know how special the holidays were for you. AND--I can tell that Buddy was in 7th heaven during those times....

Since A Fib took me for a ride in 2018, I am determined to not allow it to control me so much in 2019... My motto: I will NOT give up.....

Take care my friend and say hi to Buddy from Betsy from Tennessee.

Hugs,
Betsy

Good for Buddy for getting the joy on.
We will also celebrate 50 years this year. I like the expression I heard yesterday, "I'm not as old as my age."
We did see the super blood wolf moon. We went out and howled at it. I made Tom do it. He laughed. That's a good thing.

Lots of happy faces to see and kudos for staying up for 2019's entrance. Buddy looks wide awake.
Also congrats on the Golden anniversary. Wow.

First, thank you for coming to my blog and commenting while my husband was sick and I could only write a post once in a while. Today I decided that I just can’t spend my life clearing up, de-cluttering, recycling and donating – I need to have some fun and visiting my blogging friends’ blogs give me much pleasure. I enjoyed your family pictures. I hope that this new 2019 will be great for you and your family. I also checked your other blog, but I am so sad about the political situation in the US that I did not comment about it.

Dear Heidrun, your new year's celebration looks like and sounds like so much fun. It's wonderful that you have such loving children and grandchildren.

A Golden Anniversary says so much about your life. I know there have been many hard times much of it dealing with your health and that of your husband. But somehow you come through. You are a woman of great fortitude.

Give Buddy a hug for me! Peace.
