Family Christmas

Christmas has come and gone but it was a great day spent with family. My one true wish was granted and most of the family was here. Everyone said the meal was delicious and I just happen to agree with them. We fed all the family some of them more than once.
We steamed oysters on the grill later on Christmas day and they were great.

My brother came and told me what a great day it was being here with family and I totally agree with him. I missed Mom more this year than last year but I know she was happy that we were together as a family this year.

2008 has not been a great year but we made it. Here's hoping that 2009 will be a better year for all.

Charles had a great Christmas and that made all of us happy. The whole family seemed to have a great day and Santa was good to all of us. Thank you to everyone for the great gifts but most of all for the love.

Jason, Bobby, and I went shopping Friday and had fun at all the after sales. Finally got to take Jason out for his birthday lunch. Love the cabbage wraps at Toojay's.
Spent all day Saturday in my gown, never got dressed, it was a very relaxing day.
Bobby and I went shopping today, to a movie (Marley & Me), and out to eat. The Movie was good but so sad at the end. Don't take small kids to see this one.

Time to go back to work tomorrow, oh well, Thank God I have a job.

All my love and wishes for a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year.

December

Cannot believe that it is all ready December 7th. Where has the time gone?
I finally went to NYC for a visit with my son and I had a marvelous time.
We had a great Turkey Day meal and went to the movies to see Four Christmases. it was a really cute movie. I had the traditional dinner except that my stuffing had raisins in it. I just don't like raisins. Otherwise my meal was delicious. My almond lemon tart was soooo good. Bobby had duck and it was really tasty. We stopped by Whole Foods on the way home and he got his turkey dinner and I got fried chicken, really good.
We relaxed on Friday and Saturday and just watched TV. It was the type of visit when just being together was the best of times. I got lucky and slept on his bed and it is really comfortable.

My trip home was another story. We finally took off at 11:15, the turbulence was really bad, the girl next to me was sniffing all the way home, we got to Orlando on time but we had to fly around for a while because no one was landing due to weather conditions and finally we were told we were going to Jacksonville to refuel and wait for the all clear in Orlando. Finally got to Orlando between 4:30 and 5:00. What a day. Thank goodness I was off Monday all I did was relax because I was exhausted.

And then it happened on Wednesday, I got sick. Have not felt well since then, went to work all week but came home Friday morning at 7:15, have mostly been in bed since then. Taking all kind of junk, nothing seems to help. This to shall pass.

Not sure I am ready for Christmas but I will be before the 25TH.

Stay well, love to all.
