My Thoughts

Hey Everyone,

  I am so sorry I haven't been available for so long.  I have always read my hugs, but due to illiness and surgery, I didn't get to write back to anyone, and forthis I do humbley say "I am very sorry".  I feel guilty because I loved each and every hug, but just couldn't sit long enough to type to anyone.  You ALL have been in my prayers and thoughts, and I have really missed the on line chats.  I sure hope we now have everything under control, and I can get back to "living" again!!  It is almost my most favorite time of the year.......Thanksgiving and Christmas!!  Even though there is only my husband and myself, we always manage to have a great time.  We always have a big tree, just like when the kids and grandkids were around, and decorating the house is a great feeling.  I have always be a Christmas time person.  When I get tired, my husband will take over decorating.  I guess being married 30+ years does have some advantages, or I have trained him well..  No offence guys.....but be honest!    We live in a 55+ community and let me tell you......do not underestimate your seniors.  This community knows how to party and any LITTLE excuse will due.  When I came home from the hospital .......a party.  When I had my stitches out.....a party.   This weekend, because I had a great report from the doctor.......you guessed it ....a BIG party.  It is so wonderful having all these friends and you all too.  I am truly blessed.  Most of our friends here are in the same position as we are, all our family is up north and the only time we see them is either we go up there or they come down here.  This year, the trips have not been too many, either way.    Thank God for computers and computer cams.....at least we still know what each other looks like.  Well, I am going to close for now.  I am going to try to figure out how to send you all a hug.

Lots of Love to you all,

Barbara
