Hey everyone!
It's cold & rainy here today - a good day to stay inside. The forecast for the week doesn't sound too impressive, but then it is winter, isn't it? The Festival of Trees parade is this Saturday, and we had talked about going downtown for it, but the high is only supposed to be 46, so we'll maybe pass!
We went and saw Sam's mom this past week-end, and had such a nice time with her. We went to TJ's in Clermont for pizza on Friday night and always see someone that we know. On Saturday a.m., we took her to my cousin, Deb's, for a haircut, then for a drive around the country side, then met my Uncle Henry and Aunt Karen for lunch in Elgin. Margaret is doing about the same - won't remember that we were there, but had a good time while we were there. We're all (us, Krista & kids, Stacy, Dave & Karen, Terra & family & Katie & family) going up the Saturday after Thankgiving for our Thanksgiving dinner with Margaret. Karen's sister has opened her home to us, so Margaret will have lots of her family with her. She'll espeically love all the little kids.
I'm doing o.k. This week-end kind of got the best of me, because I didn't get the rest that I need, but I'll catch up. Started radiation again for another week. There's no burning yet - just some soreness that can be controlled. About the only side affects right now are extreme fatigue and bad joint pain. The Dr. assures me "that's just part of it!" We'll both be glad when Dec. 22 comes and this is all over! What a great Christmas gift that will be!!
Sam's work is having their Safety Breakfast (can't call it a Christmas Party) on Dec. 2. Wal-Mart is really big into donating to CMN - Children's Miracle Network. So, I'm making a fleece blanket to donate to the silent auction at the Breakfast. One wife comes and does all of her Christmas shopping there - one stop shopping, and it's tax deductible!!
Have a great week-end, and stay warm!
Love,
us

That is great that you are making a blanket for the auction. What a good idea to shop there, if they have what you want.
I am glad that you went to see Grandma and that all of you had a good time. It is good for all of us to spend time with her, even if she doesn't remember it. We have such great memories of all of our Grandparents and I hope that our kids have the chance for the same.
The snow here is melting pretty fast and making a big mess. The kids were dripping when they came in today but they had a great time.
Take care and keep plugging along, December 22 will be here beofre you know it.
Ken's work party is the same day as Dad's!!
Love you,
Krista

This will be over and done with before you know it. So enjoy what you can out of each day. No matter the situations we are in, there is always a positive in it. Sometimes it is just harder to see them then other times.
Love you guys, Steph
