Merry Christmas to all the "enablers" and dishaholics! Kathleen, thanks for remembering me & others, I am terrible about remembering names, but yes, I do remember Lee & Sandi, guess they broke their "addictions" and were cured! LOL I will count my blessings this season, a wonderful hubby, two wonderful sons, a great DIL and 6 wonderful, loving, talented & caring grandchildren! I will pray for God to help all of us who are under stress for one reason or another & ask him to relieve our sources of stress! Thank you all for being a big part of my family all year long! You are all the greatest!!!

We have been watching the squirrel and know where he was getting in. We hired someone to take care of the problem but couldn't plug up the hole because he would go in and wouldn't come out while we were on watch. So, we decided to trap him before correcting the problem. DS will have to go up there tomorrow and check the damage. It's too high up for an old man to get to but we know it's there. I am sad to report that the squirrel did not make it. In his frenzy to get free, he injured himself and died. I've been consoling myself with two things. #1 I was quite worried about how we would get the cage down with squirrel in it. I was afraid someone may get bitten through the cage. #2, I know he went out with a very good meal. He had the BEST peanut butter because I didn't have cheapo stuff on hand. We have reset the cage, but I think it was just this one critter. At least I'm hoping so.

Bettye, you have been missed! I hope you are doing better, so you can spend more time with us. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and wishing you a blessed 2014.

Hope everyone had a safe and Merry Christmas. DH said the best Christmas present he could be given was making it home alive late Christmas Eve. He was really afraid he would never see Texas and home again. Will update on what all happened in next day or so. Has anyone heard from Janis, or George and Leone? Lilo, that cat is just so cute!
