T Stands for Trail Fun

³³ "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. ³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; ³⁵ (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Luke 2:33-35

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, however you spent it.  We had our daughter and family here for almost a week, so had a lot of family time.  We celebrated Christmas together, went to church services together, played lots and lots of games with each other, and ate lots and lots of meals together.  We also had the privilege of hearing our granddaughter play Christmas music on her violin at our church.

 With the unseasonal temperatures, we were also able to get out and walk the trails.  Christmas Eve, we even went letterboxing at Great Plains Nature Center. It was in the 70s, in December! We found two letterboxes.  If you want to know what letterboxing is, just click on the link to AtlasQuest under my favorite places on my sidebar.  We even carved our own stamp and planted a letterbox of our own on another trail.  It made for a good family project & outing.

 Above is our daughter and grandchildren walking ahead of me on the trail Great Plains Nature Center.

Above is the sunrise this morning as our family left.

I wanted to show all the lovely Christmas cards we received.

And there is the one I received from Elizabeth!  Thank you.  I can't believe you are making cards!  I was so surprised to get your wonderful card.

We apparently have a problem with snail mail and even email!  So, we have found a way to communicate when we can't get together.  I hang my bag on her door,and pick up a bag! LOL

What I found was this gorgeous bag on the door with my Christmas card in it and some Original Elizabeth handmade paper!  My photo did no justice to her beautiful paper.  I look forward to using for mats in my scrap albums, among other things.

I am having a lot of problems with Blogger today.  So, will just go ahead and show my photo for the T party held every week over at Altered Book Lover. T Stands for Tuesday is hosted by Bleubeard & Elizaberh.

Sorry, Elizabeth, but we are not vegetarians.  We ate out Monday before our family arrived on Tuesday.  We love their special: hamburger, fries, and shake- chocolate.  So good!

Happy T Day to all of the TSFT gang.  Thank you to all of you for stopping by.  I guess I should wish you Happy New Year, too.  How can it be?  Take care and be safe.
