It is almost Halloween. Larry and I have a few plans for next week and this year will be the most different Halloween ever!

Halloween is a favorite holiday and holds many memories of special times for the Tolbert Family.

But….I have been working on our Christmas Holiday cards this week. Photos have been ordered and papers are bought. The design is almost decided and Larry is helping by hand printing an element for the card.(50 of them!!)

I am looking at the names on the “To Send” list right now. I call this the THANKFUL LIST. I am so thankful for these people in our lives. Sending a card this time of year lets your special friends know how important they are to you. The past few years Larry and I have received holiday cards that are photo cards, beautiful photos of families we love but…they are not even hand signed. (a pet peeve of mine) Don’t people know that they should at least hand sign a greeting card?

This morning, I am baking goodies for the freezer….and working on the Holiday cards. If this new tester recipe turns out well, I will post it here tomorrow….and it is a HOLIDAY goodie. For the freezer!

Be happy. I know it is difficult to smile these days…. but this too shall pass. (Larry says that almost every day to me)

Love you beyond the stars, the moon and holiday goodies,

Me
