Merry Christmas

Bob and I. Cooking together!

We are starting to look like each other. Those chins sure give away the age!

Christmas Day.

A trip outside the condo to sit and to see the beautiful blue skies.

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all! I have had a problem getting cards/letters out this year. I didn't have a computer for awhile (now I do! ;-). I also spent most of the last few weeks getting things done for mom(for Christmas) who is finding it so much more difficult to do anything. So my stuff got put on hold. Apologies.

Matt came from California. Andrew showed up after working. We were finally all together Christmas Evening. Mom and I went to her church service on Christmas Eve. It was beautiful. It took alot of effort and resolve on her part especially. She hasn't gotten out except to see the doctor when necessary and likes to be in her warm flannel gowns most of the time so it was good to get her dressed and out.

She is in pain most of the time. Little things you take for granted are so very difficult for her. We have found a special lady, Helen, who comes to help us and is reasonable. She dropped her rates for us because she likes mom so much. The boys, (okay MEN), Bob and I went bowling the day after Christmas...a hoot by the way...and Helen came and stayed with mom. While we were gone she washed both floors, folded clothes, vacumned and dusted! She's amazing...oh..and on both sides (of the condos).

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Love to you all!
