So long, fair well .........

Last night Nicole and I were watching my favorite movie "The Sound of Music" and I remembered the part of the movie where the children were leaving the party and singing the song - so long, fair well...... Like all good parties they all have to end.
As our children have grown up and are having lives of their own we don't get together very often.
Rayme and I were blessed enough that both Nicole & Michelle were able to come home for Christmas in spite of the extreme weather conditions and flight delays.
We usually go to Rayme's side of the family for Christmas Eve, but with our weather being frightful, his parents didn't want anyone to venture out on the roads. Therefore, we had an unexpected time together with just the four of us. We had a wonderful time together and getting the last few details wrapped up (no pun intended).
We kept expecting the rain to come, but it never came just snow and more snow and more snow! Poor Nicole her blood apparently has thinned out and was having a hard time keeping warm, but still loved the white Christmas. My family and some good friends came over to enjoy our Christmas dinner. It was such a wonderful Christmas.
Now comes the time when the party has to end and we have to say to Nicole & Michelle - so long, fair well ........see you soon.

Alvetersang (spelling?), Good night. I LOVE that movie, Donna. I do hate to see good times end...and I don't like knowing they end for someone else, either.

It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I'm so glad.

I can't wait to see you.

Oh, I feel the same way about having Tyson leave. I just keep hoping that he will live closer to home when he settles down. *sigh* Time moves on.
