Making Christmas Cards

So I decided this year to make my own Christmas Cards. I enjoy trying to be creative and the fun in making them. I looked on the internet for "Christmas Quotes" to write in the cards from famous to not so famous people. These are just some samples of what I am creating.

Needless to say I am still sick, so I did not go to RI to see my Mom and Grandmother today. I do have to go to work tomorrow though, no matter how I feel. Right now we are just to busy to take any time off.

Cher's father isn't doing so well. He was in the nursing home for rehab but has had a setback. Cher went to see him today (I can't go, I don't want to give him my germs) and his Blood Pressure is up, he has a temperature, and his urine is not good. So they are sending him back to the hospital. Please everyone pray for Mr. Wagner and all the Wagner family. He has been through so much, as all the family has. I just want him to get better so he can go home and be with the ones that he loves and loves him. He would rather be home in his easy chair and being with Mrs. Wagner. They are just the greatest people and parents anyone could ever want. Pray that all will go well with them.

Called my youngest son Allen today, he says he is doing well, I do pray for him too. He sounds like he is getting more of a "grasp" on things at times, but with him it is one day at a time. I try and call him every day to let him know I love him, and am thinking of him and to find out how he is doing.

I still have some Christmas shopping to do.......mostly I do it on the internet....it is great! Just order and it comes right to your door! The way they have bargains now, and free shipping, it really is worth it, you don't have the hassle of traffic, finding a parking space, crowded stores and lines. I hate shopping so internet shopping is the way for me! I owe it all to my oldest son Joey, he introduced me to the home PC when he went away to college some years ago and has taught me so much about it. Thanks Joey! Your Mom is gettting more computer "savy" every day!

Last night Cher and I went to the First Annual Redneck Christmas dinner right here in Easthampton. Yes, I know I shouldn't have gone being sick and all, but we had gotten the tickets and I just couldn't turn down a Redneck Christmas Dinner! They had all the fixin's (but unfortunately here in the north they still have a thing to learn about "southern" cookin).....there was no Collard Greens or Hush Puppies!! Oh my! They substituted cole slaw, and they did have corn bread ...not to brag but my corn bread is alot better! We had some raffle drawings in which I won a Santa Magnet for the refridgerator and a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer! Yee Haw! Yuck! I don't like beer anyway, so I gave it to one of my friends sons (yes he is of drinking age). They had a great band, which is a local band from around here where the guys started playing together in High School and they are all around my age, so it has been a long time playin! The money that was collected for the dinner went to Habitat For Humanity for the victims of the Hurricane's down south this summer.

So that is the happenin's around here in Easthampton MA for the weekend.

Til next time...............:)
