Greetings, from Midway Airport, in Chicago! OK. Here’s the scoop. I need to win the Super Lotto, so I can win a gazillion dollars. Then I’ll be able to rent on of those private jets, and take direct flights to go see my kids on the East coast! Guess I just need to start buying tickets! New kid on the block… James Henry arrived last Thursday, so I’m headed to Virginia to meet him! (Photo props provided by the hospital. 🙂 He had his first appointment today with his pediatrician and got a clean bill of health! Mom and Dad…

New Year’s Eve, 2022! We’d rather sell it, than pack it! Just one Christmas decoration…that’s all I ask! 🙂 If you saw our garage storage space, or lack of space, you’d understand! It’s the last day of our last sale, on the last day of the year! Kinda poetic, eh?! I’m a Grammie! Nina and Andrew met their healthy baby boy, James Henry, at 4:15 a.m., last night, after more than 24 hours, in labor. I’m elated and can’t wait to meet him, when I fly to the east coast on Tuesday! Andrew asked that I not flood my…

Merry Christmas, sweet friend! I’m feeling so grateful this Christmas Eve. It’s Betsy’s birthday and we’re together with her wife and in-law’s, here in Paris, Texas. Parents, John and Marcella have made us feel so welcome and I’m writing to you while the Cowboys and Eagles are playing. I don’t speak football, but I love being with family. (Last night’s pre-birthday celebration!) There have been many Christmases without the kids, so this one is extra special! Nothing better. John and Bob are “two peas in a pod”. Marcella owns a gift shop here, so we have a lot in common,…
