I'm glad you have such wonderful memories of your parents. <br /><br />Celia, I bet your mother was beautiful, and red would have been her color! Thanks for the congrats!<br /><br />Thanks, Jacquie. I miss them everyday, but thank the Lord at the same time that he allowed me to have them as my parents. <br /><br />Paty, fancy clothes must have been the 'gift' to buy for that generation! <br /><br />Merry Christmas to all!Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455014446926888377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-16711656933310338452011-12-24T13:11:02.783-06:002011-12-24T13:11:02.783-06:00What wonderful memories to pass down to your famil...What wonderful memories to pass down to your family.<br /><br />My dad always bought my mom fancy dresses and clothes for Christmas that she rarely wore because she was a nurse and always wore a nurse's uniform for work and comfy clothes when home. <br /><br />Merry Christmas everyone!Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-83979503028783217462011-12-24T11:49:11.293-06:002011-12-24T11:49:11.293-06:00Lauri, I loved the excerpt and really loved the st...Lauri, I loved the excerpt and really loved the story of your parents.

My mother was a pretty woman. But she wouldn't allow any of us three girls to wear read--and so I don't, to this day.<br />What precious memories you've shared with us...I loved every word.<br />And your new venture into the world of Harlequin! I am very impressed--and knowing you, you will have a fantastic career with them. Congratulations.<br />And Merry Christmas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-76505646058087593142011-12-24T11:12:42.160-06:002011-12-24T11:12:42.160-06:00LAURI,
That excerpt is just wonderful. Now you kno...LAURI,<br />That excerpt is just wonderful. Now you know of course I have to get that book to find out what happens to Cord! LOL (I love wounded heroes--I have one in every story I write just about.) That was such a sweet story about your mom and dad. My parents, too, were married for over 60 years. Mom always bought Dad a box of chocolate covered cherries, wrapped them and put them under the tree, symolizing a couple of lean years early in their marriage when that was his only present from her due to their shortage of money back then. No matter what else he got, he always got a box of those Chocolate covered cherries. I love these traditions of ours. I still buy a box of those every year and eat them over the holidays, and every time I do, I remember how he loved them. My dad passed away 4 years ago yesterday, on Dec. 23. My mom followed shortly after, on Jan. 12. I have so many fond memories of the holidays, and how much they both loved Christmas! I love the tradition your dad started of the red dress. And I love that you still wear red in honor of that. That's very very special. I hope your holidays are "merry and bright" and that you have an especially lovely Christmas, Lauri.<br />Hugs,<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
