want to explain why I didn`t express my new year`s wishes earlier: we had a total internet-line problem. first it was the net and then the telephone.
but now I am online again and of course I want to wish you all a good 2008 with lot of joy and health.

during the holidays I had a laryngo-trachneo-bronchitis what a fine thing! it burned like fire and now I still have to take some meds.

thank you for the birthday wishes, I didn`t celebrate it so much - after new year no one is interessted in a birthday party and so I transfered it to april. a friend of mine who has her birthday just before christmas and I will give a party together. some will find this bizzare to transfer the birthday but it`s more relaxed.

my next shoulder surgery will be on februray 26th - and I am so afraid of it. I hope it will be fixed this time.

I read all your communications in this thread and I am sorry for the troubles some of you had recently.

I wish all the best to all readers and writers!!!
Barbara
