Good Morning everyone.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. For the last 25 plus years we have always spent Christmas at my sister's(the only sibling I have in California) with her family and our five girls and their families. Since our eldest daughter died in March, her husband wasn't sure whether or not he and the three grandkids would be up to the hour and a half drive. Christmas without her was going to be hard enough, I didn't even want to think about what it would feel like without any of them. So you can bet that, I was over the moon when just as we were sitting down to prime rib, he and the kids walked in the front door!Truthfully I was dreading Christmas this year, but in the end it turned out beautiful

Since CARL mentioned movies, that reminds me of a warning that I want to pass along. DH and I were at the market yesterday. They had a Red Box Movie Automated Kiosk, so we stopped to see if there were any movies that we wanted to watch. The man in front of us was returning a movie. Once he left Dh and I were looking at the selection when the disc that had just been returned popped back out of the Kiosk along with an error message. The man was already gone so Dh just redeposited it. About a minute later it ejected it again. He gave it a few more tries with the same results. We didn't want to just leave it there, because we were afraid that someone would take it, so we called the manager over. She tried and had the same results. So she suggested we call the owners of the kiosk, since she wasn't responsible for the kiosk. We tried that and got the dreaded automated system, that just took us in a loop for 10 minutes. Finally Dh gave up and just decided to take it with us and try a different kiosk on the way home. Finally, success! So the warning is ... Wait and make SURE your dvd return has been successfully accepted before you walk away!

CARL, The high today is supposed to be about 54 degrees in the valleys. That's cold by California standards. I can't imagine it only getting up into the teens!!

GAIL, Those breathing issues worrisome. Cold air can make things worse so try to stay indoors. I know I am probably wasting my cyber breath but....try to take it easy and practice saying "No". LOL

JULIE, I like to think of those sort of co-incidences as "hellos" from heaven.

BOB, So glad to hear your furpals are back home with you.

LAINEY, Happy Birthday!
