So glad to hear the headlamps arrived!

It's a controlled disaster here. My brother is going to have an angiogram and possible angioplasty of his posterior coronary artery tomorrow and I am driving him to the hospital as his wife can't drive and is still considerably disabled since her back surgery.

I'll be staying till I know if they are keeping him overnight or driving him home otherwise...long drives ...

I'm glad I decided to go on prophylactic antibiotics to try to keep well enough to cope with packing up Mom and this new crisis.

The news about the headlamps reminds me I did have a life and may soon get back to it. I miss my husband, too....:-(

Thanks so much for picking up the ball while I've been out of the loop.

LOVE!!
Patty

Well, as long as the disaster is controlled...seriously, Patty, we miss you here and hope things get on a more even keel soon and your brother will be OK. I know your husband misses you. You're irreplaceable!

We're all getting our Christmas stuff together and mailed and we'll keep posting to you so you'll know what's happening. In the meantime, stay well!

All under control for Bagram. I don't have time to post much because Thanksgiving is at my house and the latest count is 12. Painting & flooring of the guest rooms continues. I have individual gift bags for the 100 soldiers which I expect to ship Sat after T-day, but another week would still be okay. I'm still trying to think of a group gift for the unit.

Hi Patty!

Your life sounds like a whirlwind right now.
I hope you find spots of peace along the way.
:-)

I have a Canadian contact!

A nice big Christmas package is going out, and I only have to mail it in my province.

Thank you so much for the inspiration, Patty.

*HUGS*, and my prayers for your strength.

Fan.

I'm home and trying to find a place to set up my laptop since Mother moved into the guest bedroom.

I have a Santa Claus outfit here that I don't know which unit would enjoy the most. Any opinions?

My husband had decorated the house and her room welcoming her here to live...brought tears to my eyes.

I've been busy unpacking the boxes with her things that I and my brother packed. They keep arriving in huge lots and I have to keep clearing them and putting the items in their new places. Taking care of Mom is a bigger job than I thought. Actually I didn't think about it as I knew that would worry me. Better to forge ahead and figure out ways to do things more efficiently...

I am so greatful for all of you for keeping the doors open here. Let me know if I forgot to include anyone. I have no organized records for the last couple of months.

So far we're all doing fine. She and hubby played Scrabble while I tried to get back on line.
