The third candle to be lit at Advent is for Love
I am blessed to have such loving family and friends.
See the little girl on the right above?
that's little old me aged about 5 or 6.
I grew up in a loving family and although sometimes things were hard, I can honestly say I never went without love.
adorable - aren't photos just so much better in black & white ?

We grew up with no heating - none !!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous, we have a photo of me with Santa in about 1977 that looks so similar. We didn't have much money either, but they were indeed happy days with lots of love.

What a lovely photo! I enjoyed your post below too, and don't worry about losing a follower - I think people sometimes just tidy up their blog lists, or even delete themselves from Blogger, and you lose one that way. One of mine disappeared this week too - maybe it was the same person!
