Catching up

Four of our six grandchildren, clockwise from top left: Walker, 4; Stella, 6; Molly Kate, 6; and Charlie, 9.

Year 2014 was extra busy for Husband Walter and me. I let happy events as well as computer woes derail my blogging for awhile. 

As I work toward getting back into a blogging routine, I will be catching up with posts about some 2014 experiences that I don’t want to forget.

One of those was a visit to Bellingrath Gardens for the opening of the Mobile, Alabama, attraction’s annual Christmas lights. It has been several years since we visited Bellingrath. This visit fulfilled my desire to experience the exceptional display once again. 

Adding to our enjoyment was having family with us—our son Jeremy and his family as well as our oldest son’s daughters. The cousins’ chance to be together and share their excitement and energy was another wish fulfilled.

A visit and photo with Santa closed our walk through the “Garden of Lights." Those faces told the story of a happy evening!

A post about one of our earlier visits is here.

  6. I've thought of you so often, during your absence in the blogging world! I'm happy to know all is well with your family. The grandchildren are getting so big!!!

    During your absence, Ed got laid off from his job, and is currently retired. He was hoping to make it to age 66, but it didn't happen. 28 people lost their jobs when a new management company took over the hospital.

    This is week # 3 of retirement for us. Just think of the garden we can grow this spring :)

  10. Catching up is a huge issue at my end and it's not a computer problem but a lazy life style:(

    Hoping to always change that but then get stuck again with silly excuses I seem to find.
