Lil Me With Santa!!

Hi Sweet  Friends,

Do you have one of these pictures
of yourself with Santa when you were
young?? What memories can you conjure
up with your photos from the past....?

 This picture was taken of me when
I was living in Miami Fla. I think
I was around 6 years old here..
many moons ago! :)

My mother had a very vivid imagination
and would tell me all about Santa and his
elves. I truly believed in Jolly old
St. Nicholas back then. I always had a
few things I wanted to tell him like I had
been a good girl all year and that I wanted a certain
doll or toy or game. I remember one year
I received a toy dishes set with small size
silver ware to match. I had a small square
table in my bedroom and I would arrange
all my little chairs around it with all my dolls
sitting there waiting to be served.
Our last Christmas in Florida I received
The Three Bears....they came in a cute
card board house...Papa bear was about
three feet high and Mama bear a bit smaller
an baby bear was so cute. I loved those bears
so much!!

Christmas time through the years has had
it's ups and downs for me...but the times
spent with my sons and when I was little
have always been my favorite Christmas's.

I wish All of you a very Merry Christmas
filled with loving memories of the past and
most of all the memories you will make now
and look upon fondly one day in the future.

Blessings and Love to All....

 Susan xxoo

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
