Lady Traveler's Cozy Christmas

Lady Traveler's Cozy Christmas
The most wonderful time of the year!

Unto us a child is given,
A Saviour, Christ the Lord
(my 40-year-old nativity under the tree)

Rob and I are loving our cozy condo on Lake Murray.
Each evening we sit by the fire, admiring our Christmas decorations.
(yes, I had enough energy to decorate.  I can't help myself)
As we sit, we count our blessings.

We are blessed with four wonderful grown kids.
We still call them 'our kids.
Four on-the-go grown grandkids.
Three fast-growing great-grandboys.
Our sweet Popcorn.
And our fabulous friends.

For our age, we are quite healthy.
We keep active, almost too active ...
... not at the local gym, yet ...
just active with every-day chores.
But we do try to take time for our little afternoon siestas.

I'm keeping this blog short,
but I'm including a recent blog I was invited to write at:
www.retirementandgoodliving.com
(my blog "What Now?" can be found under 'blog')


Our cozy villa says, "WELCOME!"

Christmas Eve by the fire -- food, fun, and opening gifts.

We're already talking about hitting the road!

Until next year,

I wish you oceans of Christmas and New Year blessings!

For there is born to you this day in the city of David 
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11

Gosh your family looks wonderful - all of you so beautiful.
Bravo on downsizing to a new place that gives you more freedom to stretch
your wings wherever the wind may take you:)
Happiest of new years,
Jennifer

Thank you my "Le Artist" friend! How I miss those simple days when we gathered to share our hearts and our dreams. Your artistry and writing is a dream come true! Janet achieved her dream as an "angel nurse" and I've finished my second book! I hope we can gather again somewhere to raise our glasses to life!

On life's journey, whether traveling around the world or walking around your block, there's lots to learn about life, faith, friendship and fun! so lets dive into a new ocean together ... and lets keep that body movin'!
