Saturday, 19 December 2009: Wishing you a happy Christmas

A very happy Christmas to you all! My Bible study group celebrated Christmas with a lively bring and share party. Our ages range from twenty to seventy and so do our backgrounds. We really are the United Nations!

I leave tomorrow to spend Christmas with both my daughters and their families (Catherine's family is to be - a son in April 2010) at our family favourite, Wyndford Holiday Farm in the Eastern Free State, 17 km from Fouriesburg and overlooking the distant Maluti's of Lesotho.

It's a fully catered old fashioned holiday farm where the kids can run wild, grown-ups can chat, read, hike, play tennis or bowls and swim. May God richly bless you this Christmas! See you in 2010 (0r almost)!

    Dear Eleanor
    It's been a very long time. I'm coming by to wish you a very dear Christmas with your family this year.
    I read about old faithful Tristram the brave. I also have a 12 year old pooch and 2 other 11 year old brother/sister that I rescued a few months ago. I do not look forward to saying goodbye, but cherish the days that we have together. I'm now up to 6 dogs, 2 cats, one bird and 3 little degus...fun fun
    Merry Christmas from Canada.
    Love Claudie

    Eleanor, that looks like a very festive, fun event! And look at that spread. WOW! Makes me hungry, and it's early yet. LOL!

    I just wanted to drop by and wish you a very Merry Christmas. Sending love across the miles and half way across the world to YOU!

    Merry, Merry Christmas!

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

    Hi Eleanor, I have popped over from Geogypsy's blog to meet you as it seems that we will be having lunch together soon. Your blog is lovely and thanks for the information about Dalene Matthee's grave. I am a huge Dalene Matthee fan. I will visit often in future. Regards,
    Anne
