I’ve been watching the amaryllis that I purchased in early November…

it is now in the sleigh with some of the snow people and it seems to be doing okay… I added some of the solar lights in and around the melt (group of snow people)… I kind of like it…

both of the little babies on the sides of the main bulb have started to shoot up, and even the original bulb is starting to have a bit of green peek out…

Monday morning I ran around… brought up the snow people and the big sleigh from the basement…

a glittery cloth, a stool, and the setting was ready…

took awhile, and a few bits of rearranging, but eventually they were ready to go…

from the window, to the table under the tree, to those in the sleigh on the floor, the snow people took over the front window area…

my friend dropped a bag of coffee off a bit before Christmas…

it was for our weekly gathering…

today, we met by video call… so I did not make coffee…

my friends were in the sleigh and I was beside the tree… good thing they were in that sleigh because there was a lot of snow outside…

as always, we caught up on everyone’s life and had some fun remembering winter sports we had taken part in, lol…

the entire time I could smell the delicious chicken soup that was simmering on the stove…

friends;-)…

vacillating…

today I’ve been vacillating between joy and sadness…

joy at spending time this morning online with the kids in Ottawa as we opened our gifts;-)… they were in the sleigh, lol…

sadness that I am here alone, even if at my own choice…

joy, at spending time with my grandson and his girlfriend in the garage around the fire pit exchanging presents…

sadness that my beloved isn’t here…

joy, that my dinner was delicious… my favourite roast chicken, homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy and turnip…

it looked a little beige, but tasted delicious…

sadness that I wasn’t able to see the rest of my Winnipeg family…

and back to joy as I remember I am home safe and healthy on this Christmas Day…

yup, up and down…
