We had our Christmas dinner Christmas Eve. Everyone was present and it was a good family time. With my grandson and his girlfriend's help the house was decorated. I decided to venture into crock pot cooking and the pork roast with the cranberry apricot sauce turned out great. I have a feeling the crock pot will not be hidden away any more.

Yes DeeMarie Jen Donna Tikanas (it usually does not take that long Besh!) Patti Marci - it came today! Besh (it didn't take that long Tikanas!) Raeanne - it came today! No NH Suzanne I can't imagine that Maddie would forget, as she is the top chief/liaison/organizer/coordinator/get-it-together and fly girl. Dee - I am sure you could tell Rich a few things, so my lips are sealed. Besh - enjoy your well deserved time off. Tikanis - I agree with not working out while sick. I missed working out so much that I think I rushed it. NH Suzanne - I loved the photos, thanks. Marci - enjoy your time off. Sounds like you might have your hands full this year. Jen - I received the package today. Now I can't wait to open it LOL. I will wait to see if we hear from Suzanne or Maddie about opening up, but now that MY package has arrived I'm not making any promises LOL.

Troubling to hear of your back problems, and thankful for both the improvements and that some succour has been found for the hosting worry, terilyn. Amylou, when you referred to not going to think of washing your dirty clothes, I assumed that to be only over the short term, but if it's long term, do you think it would be helpful to hang them in the area where he does chores, to remind him that sometimes our actions have unexpected consequences for others? As much of my activities involve my back being bent, recently when I ask it to "go straight" it complains about being expected to do unusual things, so I think when it starts doing that, I may remind it of your troubles and suggest that it keep such issues in appropriate .perspective. Hope your expected to be happy holiday may be turning out better than you feared. ole joyful
