When watching your budget, having that spare change is important.... <br /><br />You are SO talented --so I'm sure you will come up with some good ideas for Christmas gifts.... <br /><br />The holidays are the WORST.... My advice is to be with family/friends --and do something different. Do NOT stay at home alone or put yourself in a place where loneliness will take over... Tain't easy---no matter what you do...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-33871271816440231852018-10-03T13:31:57.720-04:002018-10-03T13:31:57.720-04:00the photos of sweet Gibbs are absolutely beautiful...the photos of sweet Gibbs are absolutely beautiful as is he.. so glad you have him for company.

I know I am not family or close by, but you are very welcome at the Kautz house at ANY time, including the holidays. Gibbs can come along too. We will have an extra large table in the kitchen by then.<br /><br />Don't stress about them now...it will only make it worse.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-1140054304216289692018-10-03T07:46:50.605-04:002018-10-03T07:46:50.605-04:00Good morning dear Ann ~ Great photos of Gibbs.
Th...Good morning dear Ann ~ Great photos of Gibbs.<br /><br />The 'firsts' are pretty bad. I did a LOT of crying that year of firsts. Still have times of tears. Some things just trigger them. As time went on, things got easier. I started making my own plans, got invited here and there, life goes on and we live it the best we can. God has been my strength each and every day.<br /><br />You are in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy your week and live each moment in the present and be thankful for your many blessings.<br /><br />Love you ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-40384447867683706792018-10-03T03:41:29.847-04:002018-10-03T03:41:29.847-04:00great photos....and I know this holiday season wil...great photos....and I know this holiday season will be rough for you. :: hugs ::Silver in AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501467853392916885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-67857412852724670892018-10-03T00:34:31.293-04:002018-10-03T00:34:31.293-04:00Your photos of Gibbs are just stunning!
