Holidays past….

Thinking about Troy tonight and the holidays. We always had great times and meals with family. Troy loved the holidays. His mom told me that when he was a child they always had to get him two Christmas trees cause they got the first one so early it would dry out, so they would have to replace it. He would be disappointed with how the holidays are now. Our holidays are forever changed. It only took one person to forever change them. Some people are so selfish and self-centered that they can’t think of others, they have to have things their way. If you don’t think the way they do, then you are no longer welcome at holiday celebrations. What a sad time for our family that we are no longer celebrating the holidays as a family. This is a first for me in my 66 years. I’m so thankful my family and Troy’s were always able to celebrate holidays together. We wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Gab session….

Turned the clocks back, really don’t like short days but don’t have any say in it. Maybe one of these days we will stay in DST. Called my longtime friend in Indiana for our gab session, it was way overdue. We usually cover every topic, so needless to say we usually talk for hours. Talking with her is great. We have such a history. We used to walk home from school together when we were 8. We’ve been through a lot and know each other inside out. Every summer we spent every day with each other. Everyone should have a friend like that.
