Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

Christmas 2022

Three Score and Now Twelve + Day 132. 12-20-22

2022 Christmas, it is easy for me to get down during this dark cold time of year, But I do know that I should not get down. As we had a Blessed Christmas. The next-door neighbors came over Christmas Eve, we had a bite to eat and visited. We have been doing this most Christmas Eves for some time now. The family came Christmas Day and stayed later since the did not have to work the next day this year. We had a good meal the wife prepared with additions from the family. It was good to see the kids and grandkids. I had a good visit with Sonora Pearl who is the oldest Grand. She was 19 on Thanksgiving Day. Her world at 19 sure is different than mine was at 19. I would not trade her places. I worry and have concern for their new so called progressive new world. it seems to me like an individual regressive world to me. But that is another thought maybe for another time.

The twin grandsons are growing physically and now starting to be showing their individuality, which is good. They are very close as there are no other siblings. They are now 13.The second grand daughter is 17 and preparing for college next year. It sounds like she wants to study to be medical technician of some sort. She is a very determined young lady. She will do well. The oldest Grandson is 18 and in the Marines. We are very pleased that he has taken this step going in the right direction. He had a difficult up bringing experiences and he could have easily made bad choices he didn't make. The youngest grandson is 10. He is sharp maybe too sharp. He lives in the own world in his head. i do not know what to think yet, Time will tell the story.

So as you can tell. I should not feel down with so many family blessings. It help's me to write them down here and remind myself of it all. The days are still Dark and Cold, but I know it will not last.

I will write again next year. I hope this year for you was a good one and the New Year will be even better.
