Your suggestion about pop up comments is certainly helping people - thanks Ruth for letting me know.<br /><br />Penny, yes a visitor at the table adds so much, and extends our sense of family. How beautiful to have your niece bring the menorah.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-85005091750485540002012-01-03T12:41:44.015+13:002012-01-03T12:41:44.015+13:00And it's MUCH easier to make comments.

To give - and to receive, graciously, as you have. All part of the circles of life. <br /><br />I love it when we have a visitor at any holiday table. A friend of the girls', or ours, with nowhere else to be. Someone in transition, such as your son's friend. Someone from a culture other than one's own. This year, our niece and her family brought their menorah to light along with our Christmas dinner. It was a small thing to encourage them to bring it, but, a big thing for their little family to share with all their Christian relatives. My gift was the smile on the boys' faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-51785066765339751212012-01-02T21:08:53.805+13:002012-01-02T21:08:53.805+13:00Hi Juliet .. it does make a difference .. and what...Hi Juliet .. it does make a difference .. and what I like is you can move the comment box around the post - if I need to look at something to comment on.<br /><br />Wonderful to have two youngsters around to help - sounds like a relaxing useful convivial time .. <br /><br />Good luck with this coming year .. but what is a bach? Presumably a term for a holiday cottage? I must say a few days there with some books would be just wonderful .. <br /><br />Happy New Year - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-12024170662592390922012-01-02T21:07:41.173+13:002012-01-02T21:07:41.173+13:00Now that the family excitement of late December ha...Now that the family excitement of late December has settled a bit I hope to be back to commenting and blogging.<br /><br />I loved your Keruru post and I really enjoy your bach posts.<br /><br />Men can really make a huge difference when elbow grease and muscle power is needed.
