 Webshots Photo One Christmas, I did see a white one..... It was years ago, when I was young... a lot younger.... and lighter on my feet A year when my little girl was really a little girl and her Dad was in the Army.... young, too I learned to drive in snow that year... and learned to drive a standard shift car the same year... I was afraid that I would slip and slide on the ice and snow.... which I didn't... But, I also learned to walk in snow that year, something I had not had much experience at doing being raised in Florida...... One day, I had my fancy new high-heeled boots on, which I loved.... I was prissing right along on down the side walk in a large city in Germany.... Being as proper as I could be.... when whoops....my feet went out from under me There I was...right by myself... sprawled right out there on the sidewalk... on my rear end, with my feet in the air.... high-heeled boots, and all... Since I was so much lighter on my feet.... than now..... I was able to get up quickly, gain my composure and priss right along on down the sidewalk... pretending nothing had ever happened... It was a fun time in Germany that Christmas.... building snow men and snowballs, and eating snow cream.... the year I saw a white one...... It was a very beautiful Christmas.....

Since 2000 I have chosen to live in Eastern Germany, leaving england... I feel for the sore spots delivered from a walk in the snow... this year we have none up here in the north, but it might still come. but.... Your verse describes things very well Steve |

   (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, I have never spent a Christmas in Germany (I passed through Frankfurt last summer on the way to Dublin) but it must be a beautiful place to have one with all the snow and tradition, yay! (kiss on cheek) Yay, I'm so happy you got to cherish a white Christmas, we have rare white Christmases here too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
