I want to wish everyone a very meaningful Merry Christmas! Today is a day to celebrate for this is the day Christ was born. Happy Birthday !! Joy to the world the Lord has come !

A few updates from the past couple weeks -

I had my shoulder operated on -wow what a pain in the patutty! All went well the Dr. re-attached my tendon with 2 anchors and now the healing time. This is going to be anywhere from 4-6 weeks and did I mention NO DRIVING. This is my sidekick - the immobilizer- not very comfy to say the least. Hey no pokin' fun at the hair !


Today is day 15 and I have only been out of the house twice. I think Rick is wanting to shut me up so maybe we will get out for a drive soon :)He has been really good at taking care of me ( thanks MaryAnn) and I found out he is a great cook !! Here he is making breakfast burritos!! They were yummmmmmmy !
He also went shopping for me and picked up this recliner. It is now my bed and probably will be for the next few weeks - or at least 15 more days. I go back to the Dr. on the 9th of Jan. in hopes that the healing is going good and I can get rid of the "side-kick".

Now the mailman has not been so nice - on the mailbox flag is a package-hanging there tormenting me ! What did I do call the neighbor to come down for a visit :) I couldn't and wouldn't go out due to the snow and ice on top that is making our yard an ice skating rink ! So the package was a gift that I had ordered for my sister and a gift from Santa. Yes,that's right I have been good! The Santa gift was a leather billfold ! There is a story behind this ( kinda like the fish story -my family knows what I mean) At work there used to be 3 of us Tina's -Tina W.,Tina C. and me ! Tina W. no longer works with us but is still in the loop-but here is how it started. I went on vacation in 2007 to Dominican Republic and Tina W.(left) & Tina C. (center) gave me a gift to take with me. It was this billfold with their picture in it ! The fun was on -I then held on to it for a while - list it and then found it just in time to pass it on. I got a picture of my head,put it over Tina C. and wrapped it for Christmas and laid it on her desk. She then gave it on to Tina W for Easter and now it is back to me -except this time there's a new face in the billfold - Shelly (right)has came on board so it looks like I need to make a plan for passing it on ! Wanna see this great traveling billfold - feast your eyes on this beauty ! Loaded with fighting roosters and Tina engraved in it :)




I'm already ready to put winter behind us and bring on the warm days and pretty flowers !! Are ya with me ?
I want to thank everyone that stopped by,called,brought gifts,food, sent flowers - it truly is amazing at all the friends I have !! My boss and people that work for me sent these beautiful flowers !
Christmas sunrise - and celebrate and behold - Christ was born !

MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR YOU

Author: KRISTEN M SACCARDI
My Christmas wish for you, my friend

Is not a simple one

For I wish you hope and joy and peace

Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too

Throughout the coming year

Lots of laughter and happiness

To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one

And when totaled by the lot

May you find all you've been given

To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light

May your spirit never grow old

May all your clouds have silver linings

And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more

May all your dreams come true

May you have a Merry Christmas friend

And a happy New Year, too.
