Brrrrr. I sure like the winter cold as opposed to hot, humid weather. Of course, I still run around without a coat. I sure can't see putting one on and getting in a car and then taking it off. But, I sure can still hear my momma saying, "Linda Sue, aren't you cold? Put a jacket on." Love you mom. Wish you were still here to nag me about this.

NEW YEARS WISHES
(contributed by Jan Russell )
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S.
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance-and include generous amounts for charity.
May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
WISHING YOU THE BEST IN 2011!

NEWS ON THE HOMEFRONT
shhhhh! It has been relatively quite around here lately. Dad is doing much better since his Dementia medicine SNAFU is now remedied. I am going to go to the Lutcher Theatre tonight with my best friend, Martha Lipe Bodin, to see the broadway production CATS! I hope it lives up to all the hype I have heard over the years. On another note, my sister's psychiatrist is changing up dosages of some of her RX, taking her off of some others, and adding some. Please keep her in your prayers. RX changes are hard on anyone especially someone with a BI-POLAR disorder.

I am happy to report
that my mother-in-law is
doing much better since
we were finally able to
get her moved out of her
home and into a nice
assisted living center
in November. She
has a nice apartment
unit and has made a
number of new friends.
She has gotten involved
in a number of the
activities, has many
more social
interactions, eats
better, participates in
the exercise class three
times per week, and
rides in the shuttle bus
whenever it makes
shopping runs. She
is walking better and
has a much more
positive outlook.
The move was several
years overdue, but she
has made a great
adjustment to her new
home.

I have had such a
blessed week.
An old friend from
high school came to
see me Monday.
It was because she
found my name on the TJ '68 Newsletter
on their website.
I didn't know where
she was and she
didn't know we had
moved. We had
a great visit and
are renewing our
friendshipo. I
know the Lord sent
her to me and
I am so blessed.
It has been a
beautiful week and I
have done so well.
I have gone for
several short walks.
Thanks again for
your thoughts and
prayers.

(concerning her
health issue of a
clot in her lung)
At this point it is
easy to take care of
myself, as I haven't
had the strength to
push myself.
Besides, Richard is
quite a task master
when it comes to
doctor's orders.
He has become
official chauffeur
and rock in general.
As time goes on and
I feel better, I
might have to be
reminded to watch my
pace. At least
6 months of
medication and
weekly office visits
seem forboding but
better than the
alternative.

He served on the Battleship Texas

that is true. I
love you daddy and I'll
miss you."
