Les, I’m glad you were happy to see McGuffy’s poem featured on my Christmas Day post. Our weather Monday was a mix of sun and clouds with spring-like temps. I think we’re in that rollercoaster pattern for awhile before winter conditions steady out. I’m happy that y’all made it through the pouring rain. It does make for terrible driving conditions. Thankfully I don’t do the driving. DH seems to handle it quite well, though. God is good to His angels over you. Have a good week. The year is just about gone!

Thank you very much for expressing that, dear Cathy!

I couldn’t find any info on Steve’s health, so it must be okay. I learned that Eydie passed away 6 days before her 85th birthday and that the couple had a son Michael who died suddenly of V-Fib at the age of 23.

God bless!

Annie, Merry Christmas to you, dearie! You’re quite welcome. It was my pleasure to share your lovely poem with my readers on Christmas Day! Have a good week. 😉

John, thank-you popping over and for the Christmas wishes. How cool is this you’re going to use Steve and Eydie in your next BoTB. I can’t wait to see what you put together. Have an excellent week, my friend. I’ll be over to see you soon.!

Tom,

We didn’t have a white Christmas, either. In fact, it’s felt like spring in East Tennessee. I’m delighted that you stopped by to receive my Christmas greetings and I had every intention of doing a return visit on Christmas Day but with all the fun hecticness that comes with Christmas then I was unable to make it to Cyberville. I also remember Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme from my childhood. They often appeared on variety shows and I always enjoyed listening to them sing. I did not know that Eydie has passed. That’s sad. I wonder how Steve’s health is for his 81 years, do you know? Yes, genuine friendship is a gift. I always try to treat all friendships as such even the friends I make through social media. I’ve learned over the years through pen palling (I don’t do this much anymore) you don’t have to meet someone face-to-face in order to be friends. I’m glad we were able to come to a mutual understanding through appreciation and respect to mend our differences. What a wonderful story about the man you didn’t care for and how he reached out to you. Sometimes that’s all it takes. The world would be a better place if more people did just that. You can’t cross troubled waters without a bridge. Thank you for the warm Christmas wishes and I hope you had a blessed Christmas, my friend!
