Tradition

I have a Christmas tradition. Every Christmas I buy a new pointsettia plant. I keep it all year. The colored leaves gradually fall off and you are left with a nice green plant. Right before Christmas I toss it out and buy a new one. They come in different colors like red, pink, and white. Last year's was pink, so this year I got a red one.

Time

I am trying to catch up on reading my favorite blogs. I really missed them. I like playing games on Facebook, but they sure can waste your time. First it was radio and television, then around 1990 internet/e-mail and blogs and Facebook. Life has really changed in the last 20 years. I don't watch much tv or movies like I used to. I don't read as much as I would like. My crafts are not getting crafted. I think some changes need to be made, by me.

My son Bob in Europe

He is there with a group from our church to visit missionaries. What an experience for him. He is visiting Hungry, Slovakia, and Romania.
