Yesterday was a very special day. I started my last week's vacation of the year having lunch at the Berkshire Mall with my exteneded family ~ Robin (Aurora Skye), Judy (Rhiannon), and Angie (Rhiannon's sister whom I have known almost as long as I have Judy herself). Also joining us was Page, Judy's son and my co-writing partner of my other blog, "Witch Cats" ...
Aurora Skye opens up her gifts. Surprsie! A Jim Shore collectable snowman!
Rhiannon's gift from me ~ A black and silver antique necklace and earring set
My lovely Yule gifts ...
From my sister Robin ~ a beautiful Jim Shore Birthday Angel and a gorgeous Mermaid and Cat portrait!
From my sister and twin soul Judy ~ A set of bath and body washes filled with an assortment of heavenly scents!
We had such a great time and it is always so wonderful to be able to get together with everyone ~ especially with our lives always being so busy and life's responsibilites so demanding. These are the times which prove that it is not the quantity of time spent with loved ones, but the quality!
"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves."
