Hi Lynn, I was so please to open up my email and see the fantastic news about you getting your walking papers from the hospital. Such a great blessing so close to Christmas.
And, tell your daughter that one year I was supposed to bring some cole slaw to my brother's for Christmas, I know that sounds a bit odd, but they were making a ham and his wife had a really good recipe and wanting some cole slaw for the salad element. With all the excitement and me being new to TM and not at my best mental functioning, I totally forgot about it. I remembered about it Christmas morning and sent Pete to the store to try to buy the fixings and he couldn't find one open. I then sent him to KFC, thinking he could buy it there and I'd doctor it up. Well, there were 3 different ones in our area and they were all closed. So.......it's probably a good thing that you or somebody is doing some cooking. Incidentally, just a thought that somebody besides you could also do the cooking or pitch in if you get tired or aren't able. Our sons have turned into as good of cooks as I've ever been in some ways and better in other ways and have really stepped up many times. Not so much when it comes to the daughter in-laws, but then they don't really need to worry much about cooking when the guys do such a good job. They are usually on the prep and clean-up duty, lol. Have a wonderful holiday with your family.

Thank you all for the prayers ...they worked....! Just wanted to send a quick note and let you know I'm home and resting....good heavens, Christmas is right around that corner....I'm almost ready. There will be a few less homemade cookies and fudge this year but no one seems to mind one bit. :-) I did manage to get some cookie dough in the freezer before I had my heart attack so those grandbabies aren't going to be disappointed one bit. :-) Bill helped me finish decorating our tree last night.... presents are wrapped and ready to go under the tree.....lights and wreaths are up..... I am so, so thankful I didn't procrastinate and got a lot of things finished early......never would have dreamed I'd have a heart attack 11 days before Christmas. My kids....bless their hearts....said, "Mom...do not cook...! We can just have KFC or something. We do NOT want you to do any work. Right. :-) It's standing rib for them......they just don't know it yet. Heck.....KFC would probably put me right back in the cardiac intensive care unit....LOL....! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.....don't know when I'll be back on this computer so please bear with me if I owe you a letter.....I will write sometime after Christmas God willing. Love to all, Lynn
