Good afternoon all,<br />Mary Lou- All is well here.  Just relaxing.... Good luck &quot;not buying&quot; more Christmas decorations&#33;<br /><br />Joey - My daughter in law and older granddaughter lived with us from Jan.-Sept. while my son was in Iraq.  DIL was pregnant with my baby gd. (Son came home on leave in Dec.)  Then he came home for good in Sept. (hooray) and the baby was born here.  They stayed for a few weeks and then returned to Seattle where he is stationed.  I went to see them in October for a week.  So it really hasn&#39;t been that long but it&#39;s hard being so far from them.<br /><br />SailingRose - My hubby loves to shop.  Do you believe it? However, he doesn&#39;t love the crowds so this time of year he&#39;s not that thrilled about it.<br /><br />I can&#39;t believe that my house is all decorated (except for tree which we will do when son and family arrive) and all gifts are bought.<br /><br />Bye for now,<br />Sheryl
