Total Frustration!

Hi Girls!
Just a short note to tell you how frustrated I am with Lori's Christmas present (last Christmas - I'm not that organized to be worrying about next). 

I have had this item since last summer.  I misplaced it since we can't seem to stop moving!  I found it and needed one other item to go with it - which took me a very long time to find.  Well, I thought Gordo could bring it on the plane and that didn't work. So I finally have it all together and I mailed it two days ago - felt so good about something to cross off my list.  Yesterday the mailman rang the door bell and left a package for me!  It happened to be Lori's present - which I had addressed to ME!!!! 

So today I'm trying to print a new label and there is some problem with the PO website - I've tried 5 times.  So, for today, I give up.

Merry Christmas Lori.  You are going to love this if I can ever get it to you .  I may have to deliver it.

Weather Related

Just so sick of the snow!  I know you two are also.
I'm really dreaming of our trip to Anguilla and found this really cool blog and website "My Anguilla Experience."  It's written by a local who grew up there and is just full of good information and absolutely beautiful pictures!  Like this:

 

 

Can't you just feel it??  The sun, the breeze, the sand and all that crap? Lori, you could feel that right now at Atlantic Beach.  Who knows, I may just decide to stay there. That would be interesting, right?

Stay warm sweet sisters!
Lots of Lovin'

We Are Blessed

I say that because we have partners we know love and care for us. After I started this post I wondered where all this was coming from? Mushy gushy?  No, not really. I guess it just came to me as I was reflecting this morning about the great day Earl and I shared yesterday and then I started thinking of you and Dan and you and Randy which made me think how blessed we all are to have such great guys. 

A few days ago my reflections were not so warm and fuzzy. I had been cooped up in the house with a bear who was unable to get to play golf and was being fed by about10 hours a day of  FOX news and negativity. How many times can one listen to the same crap hour after hour?   Very dark thoughts on my part. I spent most of the time in my little sewing cave.  Now that most of the snow has melted and the sun has peeked through a few times life is returning to normal. 

That is it for me. I guess I just wanted to say I am happy for us we have men in our lives who love us and to share the snowy days with as well as the sunshiny days. 

I love you bunches. Lori

Pictures

So many memories are evoked by looking at pictures. The first picture of Mom and Dad  in front of the Christmas tree was taken while Earl and I were in  California waiting for Gordon to be born.  I was so homesick for all of you back in Ohio. That must have been a very short tree for it to be blocked out by Mom who was so short herself.  What do you remember of that Christmas?  Dd you miss me at all?  Probably not. Liz was glad I was gone so she could have my room and Susie wondered why her Aunt didn't  visit anymore.

Six months later Mom and Dad drove to California and surprised us. What a surprise!  Nannie  must have taken care of you during that time. Was Jimmy in the Army then or in jail?   What do you remember about that time?
