Happy New Year!~




Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! We sure did. We spent it at my Mother-In-Law's. My sister-in-law made corn and potato salad. My husband went to his Mom's early Christmas morning to bake the turkey for me. I had so much to make, I didn't have room for the turkey to bake. He did a great job with the turkey. I made the dressing, mac and cheese, green bean casserole, and boiled some eggs to make deviled eggs. My daughter did the desserts for me, two cheesecakes, one with cherries and one plain because she doesn't like the cherries on top, and we were supposed to bake two pumpkin pies, but I didn't get around to those, so perhaps we will have those for New Years. Did I mention the boiled eggs meant to make the deviled eggs are still in the fridge...in their shells? I just got too tired to finish them. :-O After dinner, we played the game Boxers or Briefs. It was hysterical. Some of the family started meandering in here and there and we visited with them. After dark, it started snowing. In all of my 51 years, it has never snowed in the Heart of Dixie on Christmas Day, so it was definitely a perfect end to a perfect day. The only downside was my side of the family had the flu so I didn't get to see any of them. :( Hope everyone had a nice Christmas and I wish for you all a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!~

CHRISTmas Miracles Do Happen!~

Our family, tonight, was the recipient of a CHRISTmas Miracle. We were watching TV, the story of Mark David Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon, when we received a knock on our door. It was two of my nephews and a great nephew with two HUGE boxes. I asked them what they were doing, they said, "Delivering your CHRISTmas." It was so unexpected, I didn't know what to say. Nobody really knows the extent of how bad things have been for us lately. We have lived off of boxed mac and cheese mixed with tuna or Rice-A-Roni mixed with a small can of chicken. Some nights, we might have pasta, but without the meat. We have had egg sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. I have actually lost about 8 pounds, which I needed to lose, but I do not recommend doing it this way. I hugged my nephews and told them thank you. They told us Merry CHRISTmas and left. It was just that quick. When I opened the boxes, there were wrapped gifts. I did not have one gift under our tree for either of

Prayers Needed!~

Tony and his son, Joshua. My brother-in-law, Tony, was in a bad motorcycle accident today. He has multiple injuries and is currently in ICU. Also, I may not be on much for a bit. Am having some health issues of my own. I would ask that you remember me and my family in your prayers as well. Sorry I have been so neglectful of you all lately. I hope to make it up ASAP. Lots of love!~ Susan
