A Time To Rest...Yeah Right!

Well, Christmas day is behind us and my family has celebrated another special birthday. We are anticipating ringing in the new year and, well, we have two more special birthdays we are looking forward to. But, thankfully, there are about five days in between all the celebrations that we get to rest. Rest a little bit anyway.

This is going to be a short post but felt like I was slacking since I hadn't posted in three days. After posting daily for a month, I kind of needed a break. I will post again soon with pictures of all the celebrations.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Z...

Z - Zero... Zero letters left to be thankful for! We have made it through all twentysix lettes of the alphabet. This was a lot of fun, but some of these letters have been hard. Thanks to all of those (Trina) that played along on a daily basis. And thanks to all who lurked but didn't comment. Even though I didn't get comments, I love you anyway.

Also, zero days until Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus. I look forward to the day when we all celebrate together at the foot of the throne.

Y...

Y - Yandell... Cousin Traci, my sister in Christ, my cousin by chance, and my friend by choice. How lucky can an only child be, blessed with someone that is always there when she needs her no matter what. To my daughter she has been an aunt, a friend and a tutor (ooo, math).

Also, Tim. Without him, the Yandell would not be part of our family. He's a pretty neat guy too.

X...

X - Xerophytes... Without these, those of us living in normally dry West Texas, might not have any plants at all. Pecan trees, marigolds and St. Augustine. We might not have any green at all!

(OK, I had to look this one up! Let me see what you found for "X")

W...

W - Winter... Oh yes, I love winter. It brings with it cooler weather, snow (sometimes), Christmas, a new year and my birhtday. But also, because I was a Winter once and several near and dear to my heart still are!
Wise Men... Some of Jesus' first visitors. They followed a star and brought gifts (a tradition I think has gotten out of hand) and, as Mattie May will tell you, they rode camels. She thinks that is so cool.

V...

V - Vick's Vapor Rub...

Vick's helps me breath and when I rub it on Mattie May's feet, she quits coughing. It smells good too!

(V is hard, leave a comment and let me see what you come up with!)
