Dear Reader:
I must admit I have felt the presence of angels here more than anytime in the past that I can remember …and that ” presence” has brought me such comfort!
So I told Mandy that the little artificial Christmas tree we were planning on putting up together this year at my new ” home” will be our family Angel Tree! And yesterday we put it up in my new abode !
( And one immediate change …Ruthie the Angel doll ( from the children’s favorite Christmas story The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree now is sitting low to watch over the other angels instead of at the tip tip top ! )
Tommy stopped by and brought a cord that would fit the appropriate plug so no one would trip over a floor cord!
The Christmas Cactus I gave Susan Cadwell one Christmas long ago had gone through some ” health” problems … now is back… and beautiful! 
So until tomorrow… May we all embrace the special angels sent to us through all our troubled detours … there is a reason for each departure. We just need to keep the faith!
PS Susan -hope I can follow this cactus’s health path!!!
