Luckily, we kept our power on yesterday - it truly is a Winter Wonderland outside but the street seem clear - at least cars are moving on the roads by us.  If you have a spare minute today we could use some prayers for Ashleigh who will be going in for her dental surgery this morning.  The Dr. thinks it will take about 3 hours which is an awfully long time for a little girl to be under but because of her heart condition there are so many meds she can&#39;t have that her cardiologist felt the best way to get all the work done is to put her out, take her into the OR and do everything at once.  (To look at Ash she has beautiful teeth - all her problems are below the  gum line - they feel it is due to use of a nebulizer so often when she was a baby and having some breathing issues)  I know it will be traumatic for her but think it is more traumatic for Nannie &amp; Poppy. It is so hard to see them hurt.<br /><br />Maria - Ouch&#33;&#33;&#33; Hope you didn&#39;t do any major damage to your knee.  Sitting on a deck chair on a cruise ship sounds like a perfect way to recuperate.  Glad you are going to your daughters right after the holidays - I&#39;m sure you will have a great time there before you leave for your cruise.  <br /><br />Tonia - Yummmmmm - I will definately be trying those brownies and I&#39;m not an avid baker.  They sound too good not to try.  <br /><br />Rose - Congratulations to your DD on her graduation.  I know you are very proud of her and knowing how hard she worked for today only makes it that much more special.  <br /><br />Jenn - We are waiting to hear all about your Red Hat party.  <br /><br />Sue - how did it go with your Dad and his MRI?  Hope all is OK.<br /><br />Steve - Jim also had great plans to spend his days on the golf course once he retired til he found that all his golfing buddies were still at work.  LOL<br /><br />Time to go clean out the laundry room - they are coming to service my washer &amp; dryer this morning but the room is only slightly bigger than a closet so I have to go make some order in there or they won&#39;t be able to get in.  Unlike the car window repairs who promised service between 8 and 6 and came at 4:30 - the washer/dryer folks will be here between 8 - Noon.  <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile - I&#39;ll be back later on and will report back when I have some news on Ashleigh.
