December 3, 2012.
It is quite cold in Memphis this morning; I awoke around 3 am and then plain got up at 4.
I am thinking of an especially beautiful time among Christmas memories.
More than 40 years ago we had a cardboard fireplace we used for Christmas in this very house.
We put it against the west wall of our dining room. I remember Roy, ben(son), and I would sit on the floor right in front of it and just gaze at the pretend fire. It was made by one light bulb, behind turning wheel of red, yellow, orange, behind a cardboard simulation of fire. We could almost feel its warmth.
We just sat there and looked at our special fire for a long time usually after supper when it got dark.!!!
I don't know what happened to that cardboard fireplace; I still have it in my memory...a sweet memory, indeed.!
Just saying...as I remember...love, annie
If you have a memory you want to share, send it and I'll add it to my blog. Meanwhile....be enjoying every single day. God is good. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
