A pretty leaf

If this picture posts, it will be a small pleasure that I have learned how to add pictures to my blog.

This is such a beautiful leaf. I picked it up in December, and have kept it on my desk.

Another as at Sam's Club last week. I started to park in a space about 10 cars away from the entrance, and a couple coming toward me motioned for me to come forward, and indicated a parking space much closer. What a thoughtful thing for them to do.

Off to a slow start

I thought I would be posting some small pleasure every day, but I got caught up in retirement, Christmas, New Year, and forgot my password, and have just been wasting time after retirement. (A small pleasure in itself)



Some large and small pleasures in December and January:



Having my children and granddaughter here for Christmas

My other grandchildren calling to wish us Merry Christmas

Patty's art exhibit

Anneke meeting her daughter

Mike's buddies coming by to visit

Marilyn's Christmas Eve family party

The Christmas lights Patty put in our holly trees and shrubs

Using our Christmas mugs for hot drinks

My young cousin's husband's retirement from Brookshires party

The Shreveport Symphony Christmas concert



Marilyn and I are making plans to write some stories about our family when we were growing up. Maybe we'll put some of it online.



If it snows next Thursday or Friday, I don't have to go anywhere. I'm going to make a big pot of stew.
