The Magic of Christmas - Dedicated to My Son

 
It's been almost 10 years since I celebrated Christmas with my son and his two girls. I dedicate this blog to my little family. 


The Magic of Christmas


Our only tree was in the hotel. In a cozy alcove adjacent to the lobby, complete with a loveseat and 

over-stuffed chairs, we settled in for some holiday cheer. Our dimly lit space was lighted only by the 

glowing lights of a tastefully decorated Christmas tree. A cinnamon aroma filled the air, a bowl of fresh 

fruit and refreshments completed the scene. The little hotel had captured the ambiance of the holidays. 


The grandchildren opened their presents, squealing with delight as they proudly showed us their gifts.

My son and I were embraced in their happiness. The feeling of gratitude was overwhelming as I brushed 

back the tears of joy. 

 

My son and I live in two different cities, my grandchildren are located across the state line in small town 
in Indiana. Living in three different locations can be very challenging at special times of the year, 
especially when the parents of your grandchildren are divorced. 😥 
Only the magic and miracles of Christmas brought us all together this holiday season. I hope all 
of you have experienced wonderful feeling this holiday season. May magical moments come your 
way throughout the New Year. 

Thank you for reading. Please subscribe to my blog. I need the support. Sharon

Miller's Tavern in Vegas July 7, 2022

Image
Miller's Tavern is a great place to chill out. Sitting on a well-groomed golf course called Palm Valley,  it's located in the Sun City Community in Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV.  This is an adult community and requires that at least one member of the household must be at least 55 years of age and no household member can be under 18. Needless to say, it's a quiet and peaceful place. Today, I met with a group of 18 people at Miller's for lunch and play time. The group's favorite game is Rummikub, a tile-based game for 2-4 players. It's a great past-time on a hot, summer day in the desert.  About Miller's Tavern If you live in Las Vegas, NV, Miller's is a fun place to dine and enjoy various activities. This full service restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the bar or in the dining room. If it's not to hot, another option is the outdoor patio facing the golf course. In the bar area, gaming machines offer Poker, Black Jack, and Slots, just to nam...

Death Does NOT Become Her

Each life experience changes the things that lie within the deepest chambers of our hearts and the inner core of our souls. Among those experiences is the death of a person that you loved more than most.  January 1, 2020, the clock struck the hour of "death" and the bad news was delivered. My brother was found dead in his bathtub. My mother was in her room on the second story, oblivious to the passing of her only son.  Earlier that day, my brother's neighbors noticed a build-up of deliveries on his front porch, and the mail had started to accumulate. One of those neighbors decided to investigate the scene. He went up to the door, knocked, rang the bell, approached the side door and slider, but to no avail. The windows were locked, and nothing could be seen from the outside.  The police were summoned. Upon arrival, they banged on the doors, yelled out, but no reply, no signs of life. They decided to force entry. The odor of death was in the air as they yelled out the word ...

Las Vegas Fun Times

Image
Las Vegas Fun Times is my new baby! In all honesty, I wasn't ready to launch this new meetup group. Much to my surprise, when I stepped-up to the plate to become the Organizer of  "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives!", the new group went live. Yikes! It had been sitting in "draft" mode since early April.  Needless to say, I began my day scrambling to get things up to par. With the graphic in place and my intro complete (at least for now), I posted my first event, Happy Hour at The Hawthorn Grill. As luck would have it, a dear friend is celebrating her 70th birthday this month.  I'm very hopeful that this will be a memorable birthday for my Vegas sister.   Getting back to giving birth to a new group, I'm excited once again! Life is giving me new things, and I'm welcoming and embracing the new adventures and opportunities. I'm feeling right at home again; doing my happy dance.  "Good Times" by Chic
