...still Christmas at out house...
peaceful and sweet
the kids letting me sleep
turning the lights to dim
and the tree on
one hour at a time
stories and memories
keep us smiling as the New Year comes in
resolutions to make
old ones to account for
and no reason to not be thankful
we have you.
Happy New Year....
and in a few you will have our resolve to go and do
I have officially named my Grandmothers birthday
as Me Improvement Day
at our house
she was one cool lady
and to resolve to be more like her
on her Birthday
I can't think of a better way to
honor and celebrate her
I will forever leave my Christmas lights on
until the day of her birth
for that was how she saw fit
to keep Christmas
and under the light of the tree
I will find ways to improve me.
Happy Me Improvement Day to you all!

Shhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone, but our tree--lights and all--is still up. Just have not got around to it yet.
However, what a NOVEL idea, an annual
Me Improvment Day! (MID!). I certainly
am in need of one of those--maybe many more--each year.
And to pin that to a deceased one's birthday, wonderful! Thank you. Love,
Steve E.
mawmaws are so wonderful!
you are blessed to have known your special person!
This so nice, so tender love, I am happy that kids are helping you relax and sleep when you want to sleep. sometimes when insomnia takes charge is imposible to close our eyes. Beautiful christmas poem, Grandmas are special people, when they are gone they leave behind all kinds of good memories, keepsakes. Enjoy them.
what a brilliant idea. 'me improvement day'. from a special person, to a special person...
