Hello again...

Well it has been awhile...Left Dec. 20th heading south for Christmas (Alabama). Jack, Sherry and Shirl, I honked and waved going through Belmont.

We all got what we wanted for Christmas. Cori and I wanted a nook (e-reader) and Jarin wanted a new handheld video game. This is the first year in a while Hubby didn't want some type of golf club. He got clothes and a pair of R@lph L@uren boots. Kind of styled like hiking boots, I think they may be waterproof. We also both got a wii game. Mine is bass fishing with a pole, his is a sniper game. Got a new Fannie Flagg book too. There are certain books I will still buy in book form and hers is one of them.

The girls got lots of goodies each and a few together. Hubby and I are also getting a Cuisinart k-cup coffee maker when I decide to venture out to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get it. I told him we could get it after Christmas; it would have been too big to take down for Christmas then haul it back.

We also left Sam the cat there, so he could have a little freedom outside. He was a handful inside this small apartment. We will bring him back after we get a house. He and Mom's dog Jett seem to enjoy each other and they are more matched in size than Sam and our little dog Rylie.

Got to see my little brother and his wife, they flew in Monday after Christmas and stayed until Friday. We also left on Friday headed back up here.

We still had some leftover snow from Christmas when we got back. Then, as you all know, we got some snow and ice earlier this week. We got enough to cover the ground but not as much as Shirl got in Belmont. It iced over with the freezing drizzle. We didn’t get noticeable ice on the trees, but it was enough to keep the schools closed all week. Cori went back today with a two hour delay, instead of being there by 8:50 am it was 10:50 am. So they got a nice little extra vacation.

Take care,
Sheila
