The word of the day for January 6, 2008 is “journey” — noun — 1: an act or instance of traveling from one place to another : trip. 2: chiefly dialect : a day's travel. 3: something suggesting travel or passage from one place to another <the journey from youth to maturity> <a journey through time>.
Happy Epiphany! We are at my step-daughter’s home in Omaha, NE, this morning. Yesterday we drove through fog most of the way—very tiring as one must drive much more slowly than normal because of reduced visibility. Since we couldn’t see the landmarks it seemed even longer. However, we started out earlier than usual so we arrived in Omaha only a little later than usual in spite of the fog and walking Bubbles at “every rest stop and tree” (to quote my mother.)
Everyone here isfine. We exchanged Christmas gifts. Claudia showed off the “new” bathroom—a new tub surround and basin with sturdy handrails for safety. She also reported on her trip to Arkansas to see her mother and siblings for Christmas. She had a lovely time and saw several nieces and nephews whom she hadn’t seen for some time.
The quote for the day is a Chinese proverb:
On a journey of a hundred miles, ninety is but half way.

Well as we start our journey into 2008 I wonder just how many journies we will make and where they will take us all....It will be interesting...Me ? I do know that the long journey will...hopefully God Willing...be a return trip to South Africa in Aug/Sept....a wonderful thought on this cold wet damp day. Love Sybil xx
You are the first person I have heard mention the Epiphany. We always left our tree up and lights outside etc until at least the Epiphany.
This year our's will be up until January 19th as my stepdaughter and family will be making a trip here to continue to celebrate Christmas.
Happy New Year to all also!!
