Cathy, I can't think of a better present for you and your family.
I honestly do not want anything..... except for the real meaning of Christmas to take priority over all the commercialism that began back in September. Just call me Scrooge.

I agree with this. I love Christmas and what it stands for but I really hate all the trappings that come this time of year. You are not a Scrooge, you just know what Christmas should mean.

You sure did Cathy. We are all so happy for you.
I love the spirit of the Christmas season and most diffinitely believe if the world practiced it all year Derek and all the others would have never had to go to any war .

Anna, your remark "...believe if the world practiced it all year Derek and all the others would have never had to go to any war...", just made your sweet heart shine! You can definitely tell you are a fan of Vince Gill ---- it just spills out!
I LOVE Christmas. This year is just so special! TWO family members have been spared, and I know it was through the power of prayer! Not only have I been worried about Derek, but also my 23-year-old niece has been going through biopsies -------- which have shown up BENIGN! THANK GOD!
I've been making turkey and pumpkin shaped cookies for my g-babies classrooms for Thanksgiving, and then I couldn't stop at that. I began my Christmas cookies!!! I'm making - baking and freezing the cookies until it gets closer to Christmas, and then I'm going to decorate them (I LOVE DOING THIS) and will make Christmas cookie bouquets and baskets for friends and neighbors. 'Tis the Season, ya'll! I LOVE BEING RETIRED!!!! I can finally find time to do the things I've always wanted to get done!
