She is 94, and shares a room with her hubby who has Alzheimer's Disease. <br />When I was divorced, I had to change our family traditions. Single mom, no money left, ex-husband held back child support, at the prodding of his lawyer, we couldn't even afford a tree. We lived in the present, and knew life just IS.<br />cheers, many hugs!Jenn Jilkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259681360456905055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-36982134706011239992011-12-03T17:07:13.474-08:002011-12-03T17:07:13.474-08:00I can only imagine your sadness but am quite impre...I can only imagine your sadness but am quite impressed with your decorations. The only difference I see in your three tiered tray decoration and the one on Pinterest is that yours is not green.
