Christmas is always a fun time of year. this year I felt a little

less prepared, probably because of the 2 months I'd spent

in Arizona with my Mom. I kind of feel like I'm playing

catch-up all the time. But even though I wasn't totally

prepared, and I'd missed my time to go see Melissa during

my usual October trip, I decided to go on out and see

my daughter and family in their new home. Melissa

moved into their first home on Dec. 4 (Saturday) and I

arrived on Monday. What fun to see everyone. I got to

stay for a week and got a little aquainted with their new

city. We also went to visit some friends from Lexington

too. I used to stay with Karen Rozmus and family because

there really wasn't much room for me in Melissa's apartment.

So it was nice to have a place for me this time.

Then after I got home I went to see Grace perform in her

school Christmas program. it was really sweet to see her

sing her special song and all the others too. It's so nice to live

close enough to do that.
