We had a good breakfast at Roman and Judy's and headed off to decorate the graves.....then up to West Linn to see son Jim and daughter in law Jenn....then off to St. Paul to see her brothers Marlin and Norman and sister Karen.....along with brother in law Ray and sister in law Joni...
.
Whew.....I'm tired thinking about it....
It was important for Linda to mix with her siblings....she has been looking forward to it...her brother Norman has been a missionary in Africa and just got back....
Although she wore out today and tomorrow is another big day, all these visits are important to Linda...they are all by her choice and she will rest up......her spirit is being fed...
.
Looking through the pictures of Linda decorating the graves and helping fix spinach calzone for dinner...and she did sneak in a nap....with brother Normand and then going through some things from their ancestors...Linda, Marlin, Normand and Karen....

I just spent a wonderful hour+ with you guys and wanted to say Thank you for including me in your busy days of visits...I do so enjoy spending time with you. You are like an infusion to my spirit.
Hope your trip is safe going across the Mt. and that you enjoy all of the family that will surround you over the next few days. Love you both.
Ps couldn't help but notice not many are leaving comments here...Do we need Linda to pull a hospital routine, or maybe an inflight fainting spell to get some good wishes going????
It's wonderful to see you and the rest of the family together. Christmas is a time for family. We are having Dave, Sharron, Dad and Mom for Christmas Eve...our family won't all be together until the 29th. Merry Christmas to you all. Darrell and Shar
Just in case I don't get a chance to get on to check your blog before Christmas... have yourselves a simply wonderful Christmas! We'll be heading back to Ohio for a week, so hopefully it will be a white Christmas! :)
Take care... Merry Christmas... and Happy Holidays!
Love,
Jim and Swee
Finally, I can get caught up with your blog page. We made 32 wooden star decorations for our little people in the pre-school, Kindergarten and 1st grade. Then went to three school Christmas programs.Had Alex's 24th birthday party with about 20 people attending.I did get to my water aerobics this am. First time for a week or so. Felt good. Now will deliver our neighbors' gifts.
We want to thank you for decorating Richard's grave. I know Mom (Rosa) would appreciate that very much.
Sounds like you will need a big release of WHEW!!!after the holidays.
Enjoyed your Christmas letter.
We are to get more snow Wednesday. Clark and Rachel are flying in Christmas day. Hope they can make it.
Well, I have got a lot of emails to deal with.
Take it easy.
Love, Janet
Now,
Miss Jillian is on her way to the Valley.... She is arriving with special gifts especially for you! I am sad I am not able to see you this Christmas, but please know you are in my heart as always. I know you will enjoy little Miss Jillian, be prepared though she is growing up and is quite the young lady....
She will be giving you lots of extra loves to you for me:)...
Have a wonderful time and I love you very much...

Yesterday I shared an early Christmas dinner with friends whom I have known since grammar school. We can still get into trouble together, which is what I like about them. The joy and love glowing from your pictures is a delight to see. Linda, you are the star on top of the tree.....or maybe the angel! Thanks for sharing your holiday spirit.

I love seeing the picture of my 4 cousins sitting at the table together reminiscing. It seems very familiar to me. Hugs and kisses to you all. Merry Christmas!
