Mrs. D,
are your cats attacking your Christmas tree? My little dog Cami, has been dragging my Christmas Teddy Bear, that I put under the tree, all over the living room "killing it". Hysterical to watch.

Billye

put up a tree anymore. It was always hard with the cats. The youngest one
at the time always breaking things, trying to eat decorations etc.

So we gave it up. With both of us working full time, and no children coming here anymore, it didn't seem worth it. Hubby puts lights on outside. And we have some minilights around our fireplace. That's it. I am a Scrooge now.

This year we are dropping some of the gifts we mail out. Instead I am giving to charities in the recipients name. There are too many people out there now needing help, and we have all that we need. Unless someone wants to get me a TV to replace our 20yr old Magnavox? LOL

My husband doesn't want one yet...and I am not working, and and we don't watch it that much anyway!

Susan what a strong and very focused son you have,you must
be pround of him. I wish I could send you my web cam,but i'm
watching my grandkids grow,the one in Portland at 6 months has
2 new teeth and is crawing,he will be be 7 months next Monday,
The other 2 are in Mn. no web cam but lot's of pictures. My oldest
and his wife Dr. Amy ha and her famly will be home next weekend.
We have already celebrated the Jewish Holidays,but we do
Christmas as well...Long story.

Thanks for telling us about your son he will be in my prayers,and
thoughts..I thing you and your Daughter have the right idea,a pink
tree sounds like fun..Bob and I and the girls are eating Chinese
this year... Oh everybody we are getting are first snow,how pretty,
but people in mo. go nuts, running to the store,crashing into
each other. You sit and look at the beauty and pray no one is hurt.
Oh,my Daughter lives in Portland,they didn't get the flood,but her
friend lost everything..So Nikole has a house full...Hugs to everyone
Sue

Enjoy those grandchildren, Shiney Sue! They are so precious -- I hope I have some someday. Don't ever take them for granted.... You are really lucky. Hmmmm.....Chinese food, now that's a good idea! Sounds like it would go great with my hot pink tree!

Susan I waited for ever for those babies,my children are 30 ,31 and 34,
all married to same ages. The oldest and his wife are thinking of a litttle
next yr. Now she's working on a book,and being a Dr...I think Chinese
and a pink tree would be fun.. Well is everybody getting snow?? We
are getting are first today..Susan I had a Aunt that was a Lieutenant
in the Navy it got her through nurses school,she fell in love with a
Commander,well back in those days if you married one had to get out.
She did,but they sure got to travel on his time off,they had a wonderful
life. Fingers are giving me a fit...Hugs to all Sue
