THE LAST GREAT CHRISTMAS - Terry Klein

 Good morning, everyone!

I intended to run  Christmas music all this week but just couldn't get up to speed after a 'sister weekend' in Springfield. 

I'm kicking off the remainder of this week with a special treat.

Christmas is all about family, even if this year is going to be a bit different (PLEASE practice social distancing and be safe!), we can still include family.

THE LAST CHRISTMAS stems from a story Terry's wife's grandmother told about a Christmas she experienced in 1917. Marion Norswing Phillps passsed away in 1992 but thanks to Terry and his wife, families everywhere can see how Christmas was in 1917.

Like a lot of us in this crazy year, Terry began viewing 'family' in a new way, one mirroring the trials and tribulations of our ancestors. 2020 will be the first year since Marion's passing that the family has not been all in a room together to read her story aloud on Christmas Eve. While the world has changed dramatically in the last 100 years, core themes that make this story ring  true to all of us are still very strong.

MONDAY!

 Now there's a title for you!

Not a lot going on this week. This is Bob's final week home and fall has arrived. We have a lot to get done outside before he leaves a week from tomorrow. Please bear with me as I spend this time with him and get things done while I have his help. 

I hope you'll get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather. According to some sources Winter will come early and be unseasonably cold/ wet in most parts of the country. 

Country Blessings!
