But, we were disappointed as only half of the invited people came. Some were ill, some were too tired, and some did not offer any explanation. One result of this is that we are left with lots of food. There are more snacks than you could name in our freezer and cupboard. A sis ter from Michigan sent a box of cheese, candy, and nuts. It was practically untouched. I suppose we will slowly use these leftovers. Some arrangements this year contained beautiful holly from our daughter’s tree in Atlanta. She sent a large bag of cuttings. The leaves are quite glossy and the berries extra red and bright. Some were shared with a neighbor.

Also, my collection of photos from 1994 has amounted to hundreds, as people give me some, and those too must be arranged in an album.

She hand-paint ed some thirty crockery flower pots with nine little Dutch maids and did a beautiful job. Then she filled each pot with a thriving flower plant. Because not all of our children were home this sea son, I will have the job of keeping the plants healthy until I see my children—that will probably be next summer. I will do the best that 1 can to care for them.
