We just want to thank all of you for the beautiful cards!! Patrick has been sick off & on for about the last two months and I am so behind, I have just stopped trying to catch up!! Every child that sees him in public thinks he's Santa and "stalk" him!

I suspect he keeps picking up colds, etc. from them, but he never refuses attention to a child! He loves the appearances we do for "less fortunate" children and by some miracle he has gotten well in time for those, then "relapses" a week later. He also has had more grown women sitting on his lap this year!!

On top of everything, our Toto [who is never sick] has an ear infection and is on medication for a month! She is so needy & clingy ... one of is holding her all the time. We decided this year not to fly home for Christmas because it will be so hectic & exhaustng ... this will be hard for us, not being with our children & grandchildren at Christmas. We opted to wait until January when all the holiday rush is over.
My "Sister of the Heart", Trish and her family have invited us to their house for Christmas day, so we are all looking forward to that!! Thank God for good friends!!
My cards [all 140 of them] are finally ready to be mailed .... "Happy New Year"!!

Forgive me for being so late ... 2008 just
has to be better!! We just want you all to know that we love and appreciate every one of you and wish you all the
"Merriest Christmas" ever!! God bless you every one!!!
