Christmas hugs to you, Jan!

I know 2011 will be better for you.  We can go visit our friends in Houston!   ;D  I wonder if they could handle ALL of us at once....

Hi All!

Well, it's 11:19 and I'm just stopping by with good Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) wishes for all of you!  It looks like we're in for a pretty cold weekend -- temperatures in the 20s and 30s, but only a possibility of snow flurries  and light snow in the forecast for the next couple couple of days.  Since there's a Noreaster heading this way, I guess we're dodging the bullet. 

Happy birthday to Steve and Maureen and Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Wendy

P.S.  Jan -  I hope 2011 is a much better year for you
1.3 cm at time of diagnosis -  April 9, 2008

My house has been full of good cheer and tons of good food!  My fridge is packed with containers of great leftovers.  I don't think I will need to cook for several days.  I love having someone to cook for, other than just sweet hubby and me.

I got my Christmas smile this year! Yay! Well, it's not perfect, but better than total facial paralysis! (smile restoration surgery this past May).

And I also got my Kindle so I can cozy up and read large font books, and go shopping for the best reads, all on my comfy chair!

Blessed new year to all!
