Wynters Wramblin's

Wynters Wramblin's is the name of the annual Christmas (or New Year's letter, if I'm late) that I publish and send to family and friends. I've missed a year here and there, so somehow the name just seems fitting for my blog. I hope that friends and family will visit here often and ENJOY!

Winters’ Wramblin’s ~ Christmas 2009

Christmas is eternal like the love that gave it birth~ like the love that touches others as it reaches ‘round the earth. SOURCE: http://www.crosswalk.com/finances/11597371/ Dear Family & Friends, If I don‘t write NOW, I may not get this mailed until after New Year‘s! WHAT a year this has been! Several major events make 2009 a year to remember! I intended to continue with projects left over at the end of 2008, but other things came up that claimed my priorities… The BIG personal project was my 50th Anniversary REUNION for my Greenleaf Friends Academy Class of ‘59. Monumental family events include Dustin’s 18th birthday in Feb, and Jessica’s 16th birthday in Mar, Dustin’s high school graduation in May ... Dustin’s enlistment into the Army in September and training at Ft Benning GA. ... Dustin will be home Dec 17, through Christmas and New Years, then heads for Ft Carson CO where he is to remain for one year of additional training before his next assignment. ... The Big Event—my class reunion—was my Last Big Hurrah! It was a lot of work, and I still haven’t fully recovered from the energy expended and the excitement of the event… I’m NOT the ‘mothering’ type, but I almost felt like the old mother hen who had her chicks gathered around for a couple of days! Yikes! I still have ‘loose ends’ to take care of… can’t quite seem to pull it all together to wrap it all up! ... LOOKING AHEAD: Want to get back to WRITING… mostly unfinished projects… Will keep trying to ‘Catch Up With Myself’ … Always (every year!) working on health issues, and general health improvement. This is how I ended my Christmas 2007 letter, and it seems even MORE appropriate for 2008: Another year in history is quickly coming to a close! Another year closer to the return of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, whether by the Rapture or by our transition from life on this earth as we know it to live forever in eternity! … What a sobering reminder that we need to be ready! “No one knows the day nor the hour…” And I might add, nor the WAY in which our time will end. Are we ready? Be ready! This time of year I’m terribly MISSING Kevin in Alaska… Kevin and Tanner, his golden lab… I have no idea WHEN I’ll go back up there, but it will be at the first opportunity! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! With love,
