This week, actually, these past weeks have been so busy. I am traveling again, this time in California for a niece' graduation. And I met another sweet blogger also named Cindy. She and her hubby drove 2.5 hrs. to meet us. Isn't that too sweet?

Wow...as the days go by...it just gets busier and busier! How are you doing, my friend? You never told me what ya'lls Christmas plans are...are you staying home and having family in or are you traveling? We will be staying home...just Russell, me, and the two kiddos...so it'll be pretty quiet! I am really missing my daughters and grandkids right now...sure wished that we could get together! My youngest, Jenni, and her family will be coming up to Nebraska to see her in-laws for Christmas. We may try and drive over there to spend a couple of days with them after Christmas...we'll see! Jenni's MIL has cancer and isn't doing very well...she is only 50! It's so sad! So the kids are planning on driving from Texas to Nebraska to spend Christmas with her. It's about a 5 hr. drive from our place. I'm hoping that we can see them!<br /><br />Well Darlin'...just wanted to come by and say hello! I was thinking about you, my sweet friend!!! Have a wonderful weekend and I'll talk with you later!<br /><br />Love ya, Sweetie!<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-19719202692042664902009-12-19T01:59:51.488-06:002009-12-19T01:59:51.488-06:00Hi Cindy,

Real history, and so pretty with the snow everywhere. You're definitely not in California!! I'd love to stay for a few days and poke around in all the stores and historic homes...<br />It's wonderful that you could cement your friendship with this weekend meeting.

I just can't believe that beautiful B&B and the mansion next door. All the pictures are just wonderful. It really is such fun to meet fellow bloggers and you are so right, they will be friends forever. I am so thrilled for you that you guys got to meet. I follow her blog and she is the sweetest person. Thanks also for stopping by my TT post. You always leave the nicest comments. You asked about the tealight candle stems that I used. Actually they are part of my GW finds. I found them at 2 different GW's right after Easter. It seems that's when a lot of people must be cleaning house. I hope you have a very Blessed Christmas.
