Lots to catch up on!
Congrats on grandbaby Mar! She is beautiful. Glad all are ok & you too!
Badma, glad things are going better & praying for friends son.
Robin, sorry about your cat; it is hard even when you know it is for the best. hugs to you.
Maggs- sounds like a wonderful fun time; gotta get those fun times is every chance you get. Good thing Angel doesn't have That picture! :)
Elaine, what a great present from your sailor :) Enjoy!
Val-I feel your pain- my feet swelled up so bad after my daughters wedding, they've never been the same since!
Mary, hope things ease up a bit on you & you get that address soon.
Annev, cannot imagine how you are coping, but it sounds like you are dealing really well; half way to walking on that foot-yeah!
Jeffiner, my son complains about buddy system all the time; he loves to go out and experience the culture & people of wherever they are. I kinda am glad he needs to be with someone else when they are on deployment in foreign lands & don't speak the language.
Had a very busy weekend. Went caroling all three days with my group. Love to do this, but had a hard time at the nursing homes when a resident or one of their relatives wipes away a tear. You just know they are remembering happier Christmases and it really gets to you.Had a dr. appt and my blood pressure was actually low! They were pretty surprised as usually it is high there.

Hi
I am feeling a bit tired. That darn medications I am always hits me a few days later and I have to rest some. But Friday I will be dancing circles again. Ok will list things - my brain is napping
1. HURRAY Baby is here !!!! Isn't she beautiful and LOOK at that hair! The winner is: Jeffienr ! She was the only one on the second and third pool that was on teh date right. Jeffiner guested :
December 2, 2011 at 1 PM ( just 2 hours and 45 minutes off)
8 lbs and 1 oz ( baby weight was 7 lbs and 3 oz )
21.5 inches ( baby was 19.5 inches)
Not bad guessing there Jeffienr
2. Now I have heard of doing things to have stress release , but Nonnie ! Having a seizure is not a good idea. You need to think of other ways. Like coming here and just venting :)
3. VAL - Major count down to Hug!!! Please post that picture of you and your sailor
4. Miss - well I am so glad that standing on my head made you realize how much we all here want to see your beautiful style of remodeling decorating. Thank you and waiting patently - maybe.
5. Ang- seeing relatives for the holidays. Not a good subject for me either. So I asked my hubby for a gift this year - to make a Dance Shawl every month. He told me he would make sure I would have the materials I need :)And nice gift to you honey .
Ivory - right?
Barb - had something I wanted to share - its gone. Must be with what ever I wanted to say to Kathy.
6. Blondie get some rest and then post pic of the baby shower. And thanks for update about Nick.
7. Ok - the Moms going to the wreath laying are you also going to the Navy / Army game?
8. Have to share this; Hubby and I went over to kids house to visit last night. We turned on their street and were greeted with blinding lights. There is a house SO decorated with Christmas lights and decorations of EVERYTHING - that an UFO can use see it ! Going to get my son to take a pic of it. I did not have my camera. But I pulled my lower back muscles turning to see this house. So I am a bit sore - thanks for the Reiki Jeffeiner :)
Ok - I know I forgot somethings. Maybe I will remember after I eat something. hugs all

Congratulations Mar!!! What a BEAUTIFUL granddaughter! I am glad that Britt is doing ok and that Ryah is finally here. Take care of yourself!
T-Lynn- I promise I will get a picture on here. That just takes time and you know me. Anything that I can put off, I do! Not much gossip on my part, just been really busy. Still trying to get this situated at work after the big move. I worked all weekend at home trying to get my tree decorated, and also worked on my yard decorations. I still have lots to do inside, and have been asked to host our Sunday School Couples Class party. So now I have to do major cleaning and cooking. Why do I get myself into these things? I am not even in this class, as I teach the Youth, but oh well, I will somehow get it together.
We are suppose to have lots of rain moving in today, then turning colder. Take care and hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Sweet Baby Ryah is HERE!
It ended up being quite the adventure - and mommy had to have a C-Section after a few issues...but she made it! (AND Nonnie aka..ME had a full blown Grand Mal Seizure on Thursday morning and we don't know why!!) But Miss Ryah Fatiha Faragi greeted the world at 10:57am on Friday, December 2nd. She weighed 7lbs 3 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She has SO MUCH HAIR! And she had a major cone head because she was stuck in the birth canal for so long! Poor little thing. :) But she is doing great and mommy is doing great and all is well. I will post a few more photos in a moment. THANKS FOR ALL THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS! And T-Lynn...please let me know WHO WON the baby pool! I wasn't kidding that I want to send a little something to the winner. I think it makes it a bit more fun! ♥
Blessings all!
