Here are a few photos of interest: The photo of moi sitting on a rock in North Carolina was made by my friend Jeanette. We drove up to Conover the weekend of Thanksgiving to be with a dear friend whose husband has a brain tumor. She needed some girl friend time and I hope we helped her.

Another photo is of the view from her backyard of Hickory Lake. It is simply Heavenly.

The Christmas photo of the Taylor family was made in our living room to celebrate 2010 Christmas and it is a great photo of all.

The strange Halloween photo is of me (the Cat lady) and Rachel (Bubbles of The Power Puff Girls). Rachel is 13 now and she was probably 3 years old in this photo. She was a fantastic Power Puff girl and she is an awesome young woman.

Happy New Year to one and all!

Be sweet,

Sue

Time is running out for shopping

Christmas will be here soon and I am so not ready! Jim is a sweetie and so patient while I run around in circles lamenting and stressing. The Trees are in there stands in the Den and in the living room but they are not yet decorated. Jim did put together the porch decoration -three lighted gift boxes. Our very first Christmas card of the season was from The Crow Family in Hawaii. David is assigned there as Navy intelligence and we hope they will be back stateside soon. I hope to write our annual Christmas letter soon. It will be more difficult this year because we all blog about what is happening throughout the year so there isn't much left to write about. I guess I have to remember that lots of my friends and family don't read the blog so to those who do I hope the letter won't be too repetitious.

Victoria and Michael celebrated their anniversary and that always reminds me of the snow & ice storm the day of their reception. It was such a wonderful day and so many friends and family braved the weather to come and celebrate with us. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

It really pays to buy the extended warranties sometime (I know that Clark Howard might disagree). The PT Cruiser was in for service and I am so happy I didn't have to pay for it.

Saturday my friends Melinda, Carol, and Cathy enjoyed the Heavenly music of The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at Emory and Sunday we traveled to UGA in Athens for the Irish Christmas with Eileen Ivers, fiddler. We all were definitely in the Christmas Spirit after those events.

More later, be kind, Sue
