billie,

I know you have been busy for quite awhile now so hopefully when the auction is all settled you'll be able to relax.

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday with all of their loved ones, a great dinner and bunches of love and laughter. We stayed home and kinda kicked back. Ate, watched a movie and watched it rain all day long!

I hope that the New Year coming up will prove to be a good year for us all. God knows we have all had our share of bad things going on in 2006!! I am soooooo ready for a New Year!! I will make it better......it hasta be better!!

I don't want anyone to think I have been trying to ignore the emails. I appreciate all of them. I just haven't been up to answering yet. My mood will soon be better because one way or another I am gonna throw this depression away!! I am determined!!! I love you for thinking of me. It means alot. Thanks!!

Sheryl

Well, good bye to another Christmas. Brady and Nicolle left at noon today, and Laura and Hailey at about 1pm. I spent the afternoon taking decorations, lights, and the tree down, and hiking it all upstairs. The house is back to normal again.

You guys will be so proud of me too... All of the cookies that the kids didn't want, for themselves and/or to take to New Year's Eve parties, I piled on a tray and took to the neighbor guy. I had already given him some, but he sure didn't turn them down. He's the single one that lives next door and does the "guy" stuff for me, (fix stuff!!---get your minds outta the gutter you guys!! - ) and I keep giving him food. It's a great arrangement. I told him I hadta get them outta here or I'd eat them. He just laughs at me.

Thanks for the kind words ConsiderThis! It's amazing what a beauty shop appointment and an expensive dress for your son's wedding can do for your appearance, huh?? Now, if I could do that every day...... like there'd be any money for that after paying my share of the wedding.......... BUT--- there's always a bright side!!! I've paid for both kids' weddings now. They both know if/when a second wedding might take place.......they're on their own. I will be an invited guest.

I hope you start feeling better BC! The auction is going to be kinda hard on you.... I remember selling the dairy herd and machinery, but that was two years later, and it was still tough. It took me two years of running the farm with a hired man to figure out that I didn't know what the he!! I was doing. When is the date of the auction? I'll be thinking of ya honey!! Hang in there!

Sher, we all understand sweetie--don't think another thing about it!! You take care of YOU now, k? Gee wilikers anyway!! (OK, how many of you guys have EVER written Gee wilikers out before?? I haven't!)

befuddled, I just wanna (((HUG))) you!! You're gonna have some tough times coming up with the divorce and all too. I hope I don't have things wrong, do I? I get things mixed up a lot cuz of my meds, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but you are going through a divorce, right? I am also divorced. Even though mine was amicable, it was tough--not from him, but from my brother and sister. There are just times in a person's life that are somewhat tramatic, and divorce is one of them. I think so anyway. So, if that isn't why I wanna hug you, I can't member why, I just member that I wanna, so.......(((befuddled))) THERE!!! Just cuz!!!

And Alffe--you're just a sweetheart! I still say you should use the other dancing frog that I offered you that has both legs moving--do you member when I did that? We didn't "know" each other then when I did that on "Forum Feedback" I believe it was. I was reading a thread that you had posted on and I replied back to you with that frog, and you came back and thanked me, but said you didn't know how to put it on as your avatar or something.... member? Anyway, you're just a sweetheart, not cuz of that, just cuz you are!!!

KareBear, I am so glad you found us over here!! I hope things are better with your MIL, and I REALLY hope things get better for you health-wise honey! You've been giving so much to so many for so long, that it's time for Karen to take care of Karen now. You know we're always here for you honey! Please take care!! You know we love you!!! Post more if you can--we care about you!
Hugs,
LS, HC, Jan, or Hey You

You say such nice things about everybody. I do appreciate all the kind things people say. I am still sick. it is this darn cold. I can't find any medicine in the house and am thinking about a shot of wiskey. Now I know you all are probably on he floor laughing, but I am serious. There is a scripture that says you ought to take a little wine cause your sick so often.

Well, I don't have any wine, but I know where this bottle is! And if I can't find any vicks or cough medicine, well I just may take one shot. That will be enough. I am not a drinker, PERIOD! I have looked everywhere, even the spare bathroom. Guys help me, where would I put it? I have been in bed and the dog was already there. Hed is smarter than I.
I'm grining like possinm in this picture. Don't get the wrong idea. He is married and a singer in Bransin, MO. I just like him, as a singer, ok

I love being called a sweetheart...Mr.Alffe calls me that on occasion but I think he's being sarcastic..he's is responding to my "correcting" him about something....LOLOL!

thank you Jan...my kicky frog just won't do it here. And yes, I remember your kind offer.

Hey BC...take two shots! You'll sleep like a baby. *grin

((((((((((Sherloc)))))))))

I love the way you used color in your message. It was fun to see and read.

I know I'm a bore about methylcobalamin... but have you tried that for your depression?

It's not an overnight fix, but I've found it to work. I'm tempted to say Miracles.

(((((((((((Sherloc)))))))))))))))

Hi Jan, what a completely nice message.

(((((((((((Jan))))))))))

I really like new dresses. Expensive ones are nice.

but I think it's You that makes the dress look beautiful!

I love your cookies to the neighbor guy story. LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

Where was your dairy farm??????


I have to work on some legal things... to try to get my condo back.

I'm glad I watched Pirates of the Carribian last night (this is reminding me of Willikers... no I've never spelled it, and I can see it isn't an easy one.) It was a great film for making me think that maybe things can turn out.

I mean to ask Fancy Lady if that was the "good movie" she was going to watch.

I better go get back to work on this...

Wish me luck!

Wow, totally cute picture!!!!!

You sound awfully defensive about the whiskey. I hope you find it. That sounds like a good idea. I think you got a cold because of all the stress. So the whiskey would be relaxing, and that might help wipe out the cold!!!!!

(((((((Alffe))))))))

Your kicky frog always makes me smile. Like now.
