This is the last month of Story Telling Sunday Three: Pictures of Precious hosted by she of the brilliant ideas Sian Fair~High in the Sky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have missed the last two months of this for reasons still unclear in my mind.
\nHere’s what’s on my mind today. This, and so many hopes that Sian will host something similar next year. Pretty please?<\/p>\n

Friends are the true gift of the season<\/h5>\n

What stops me finding some thing precious and taking a picture and then telling you about it?
\nIt\u2019s not as though I have exhausted my precious things. I\u2019m sure I have lots of things that are special to me.
\nI have a prayer book that I wanted to show you that has my father\u2019s handwriting in. I have had it since I was twelve years old.
\nI saw the tea set that belonged to my grandmother in the dresser in the week. It is not particularly old or beautiful but there is a little story attached to it that I like to remember but have decided I can\u2019t tell you.
\nI spent weeks looking for Ben\u2019s christening gown and was so hung up on telling you about it that I missed the dates for Sian\u2019s meme. I found it of course. When I put my summer clothes away. For some reason it was in with my winter sweaters!
\nI wanted to show you the lovely necklace and bracelet that Paul & Ben gave me for my birthday earlier this year but I just can\u2019t seem to take a nice enough picture of it.
\nBut I really want to join in with this, if only to support Sian\u2019s wonderful idea.
\nAnd then I thought, do you know what? Something very precious to me right now in my life are my friends.
\nMy father in law passed away this week and today is the 8th anniversary of my beautiful friends passing.
\nToday I have been finishing up the Christmas gift for my lunch group. We are having our Christmas lunch on Wednesday this week. We have all been given a jam jar to fill with whatever we want to put in it. They will then be on the table as our Secret Santa.
\nMy festive swap is still on going and bringing joy to me and so many blog friends.<\/p>\n

So friends and life and death are on my mind today. I am not sad or unhappy, it\u2019s just life but how can I offer this to Story telling Sunday\/Pictures of Precious.
\nThen I came across this lovely tag. I\u2019ll take a picture of it and post it today.
\nThis is exactly how I feel.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Friends<\/a><\/p>\n

So for the last Story Telling Sunday instead of a ‘story’ I am saying thanks for your wonderful friendship…here’s to next year.<\/p>\n
