Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone. I hope all of you have a healthy and prosperous New Year too. My wish also is that we all have just the right amount of change in our pockets, just the right amount of food on the table, just enough gasoline in the car, the right tools to fix whatever needs fixing, the best doctors we could ever hope for to fix whatever ails us and just the right amount of humor to be able to laugh out loud at ourselves and do or say something goofy every day. I do the latter a lot. That smile on my granddaughter's face makes my day.

Here's also hoping I may finally be organized enough in the new year to be on here more often, to get back to my painting, that my pc finally gets completely set up with virus software, that I can find cheaper health insurance that doesn't keep me in the poor house, and that I can find a boom box in a second hand store or pawn shop. I don’t believe they are made to play cassettes anymore. I have many cassette tapes along with cds. The old boom box I had that played both got left behind to be mailed to me but was mistakenly sold at a carport sale for $5.

Besides getting to see my granddaughter every day, there is one additional thing that has changed my life………

I quit smoking.

It will be four months the end of December.

Sorry, I'm still unable to add photos from my daughter's computer.
