over the holidays, we stayed at home ... we didn't even venture out to my aunt's on Christmas eve because leo was having a fever/nausea thing happening - poor guy! so we enjoyed our cozy condo (God's Christmas present of last year! the gift that we continue to love!) ... but we didn't feel out of the loop at all ... there were many phone visits to enjoy ... in fact, i was starting to get "phone ear" ... and i'm sure leo got a krik in his neck from his chatting with folks too ... but it was super to listen to the voices of family and friends - sharing Christmas greetings with them ...
of the many many things that we take for granted in our high tec world, the simple telephone is one that has helped many a shut-in keep communication lines open ...

Sounds like you had just the Christmas you were susposed to have. Hope Leo is feeling better. Yes, the phone is one great thing I'm thankful for as well, even cell phones, what did we do without them??? Have a wonderful New Year!!!
I must admit that isn't something I thought about, but I'm sure glad we have some of these new techonological things. I can see that they would be very helpful to someone who is shut in.
PS - I appreciate coming here and finding your positive comments in spite of the issues you deal with. I know you have your down times, but you usually put a positive spin on things and keep on trusting God!
Now isn't that the truth. And probably the computer too. I do hope Leo is feeling better. I'm glad you two had a great Christmas in your cozy home.
your Christmas sounds so much like mine... and the phone is one of the best inventions ever made... we were able to talk to our children and grand children... while still enjoying the peace and quiet of "home"
Have a Happy New Year!!
Blessing on you and Leo,
Mimi
I do hope that leo is better today!! yes, at least you did get to hear your family's voices and that is good!! You two I think were just meant for each other just like my hubby and myself. Wonderful how God works in our lives.

Yes our phone was "ringing off the hook" all day Christmas. We were blessed by all the phone calls.

we just can 't do without it.It makes life so much eaiuer too.
Happy New Year
I have a bit of a phone phobia, myself. I hate talking on the phone. I'm not sure why -- as a teenager, I was on the phone all the time with my friends. I think I get uncomfortable when I can't see the other person -- their facial expressions, body language, etc. Email has been a godsend for me. :)
I hope Leo is feeling much better by now!
