Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.
Thanks and praise, For our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.

Why is it that all families seem to have at least one cold-hearted evil witch in them? I hope the spirit of Christmas gets them all this year. :)

Hi, Spooky. Jen will be happy to know that I finished the worst of the tax project I have been working on. YIPPEE! This one was a biggy that has been haunting me for a while now. Some really complicated transactions that I couldn't get all the documentation for. Finally got it all together and can breath again! :) YIPPEE! Christmas? With all that has been going on lately, that's the least of my concerns. I am going to do Xmas with a day full of prayers and blessings. It's weird not having any of the kids here. Really weird! It's the first time ever. The phone lines will be burning during the next week.

Hi Sam..about the Ardenne's offensive.
Have read a few comments by German writers and participants concerning order of battle movement.
The Germans had excellent firepower at their disposal..ammuntion supplies were adequate aswell.
Yet they became static around some of the towns and open fields.
why they did not bypass and press on ..with the weather helping keep U.S. air support down is anyones guess.
have you come accross any reports concerning a breakdown in command structure with the Germans.
Did Hitler start to obsess over places like Bastonge ...like Stalingrad?
To: Light Speed
Fuel was a problem and the armor was pretty much road bound, traffic jams were a major problem for both sides. Few of the roads were paved and they were easi;y blocked or bridges blown.
Peiper, one of the most powerful units innn the offensive was thwarted time and time agian by small groups of engineers blowing bridges at the last minute. The Ardennes in winter is definately not tank country.

BTW....both of my great grandmother's had 12-13 kids. Can you imagine? Back then I suppose it was common to have a lot of kids. I remember the neighbor across the street when I was young had 12 kids. She was Catholic and thought having 12 kids was an obligation to the church. Go forth and multiply. :)

Yes, things are ok. We miss having you around though! Time sure does fly! I am supposed to go to my cousin's on Christmas Eve, but I don't think I can with these two kids over here (my mom and uncle). They sure can be funny! They hardly say two words to each other and then suddenly they will start babbling in Norwegian for a minute or two, and then silence again! One morning I got up real early because I could hear the TV going in the living room. I walked in and they were sitting there watching tv like a couple of little kids. LOL! It's funny.
