We are 9 days into the month of December. Christmas will be here before we know it. I am looking forward to the holidays this year. First time in about 9 years. Im so excited to get to see Sydney when she wakes to here Santa stuff. Oh yea.........my camera and recorder will be getting a work out that day. Many memories for Gammie.....That little girl make it all worth it for me. Give me those days back of when my boys were her age, and how excited I got to see their little faces.
Will be wonderful to get to be with Ben and Chris also. I love my boys ........and Im so very proud of them and the men they have become.
Hope it snows somewhere close by during the holiday, if so Im going. Want to make a snow angel and a snowman.
Plan to see as much of my family as I can during the holidays, and spend time with John when he isnt busy with his family.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL. From my family to yours.

Back to school in the morning.We had Thanksgiving dinner at Mrs. Smith's today. I ate wayyyyyyy to much. So tomorrow back on liquids for me........Gota get more pounds off. Hope all are ready for the new week.
Guess Im ready to get back to school...sooner we go back sooner the year will be over.
Think IM going on a short trip during Xmas break. I want to see some snow. This will be a car trip ....no motorcycle to see snow.
Later........Wish every one a great week.

Today, Im the ripe old age of 59........had a good day. Johns sister, Betty Jane, made me a birthday cake this morning , we all got together and ate cake before 9 this morning.....They had cards and presents for me. Was very nice and I was surprised. Then, Chris and Becky came home and took me out to eat. Ben forgot it was my birthday. OH WEll....
Tomorrow Ill go up for another Thanksgiving meal at Mrs. Smith house. Monday Ill go back on my diet , boy do I need it.
This coming week will only be a 4 day week at school. The state MPSA meeting is Friday so school will be out. Basketball is also in full swing. I have to work a game Thursday night.
It has been a nice holiday I just hate to see it end so soon. Life goes on and so does school. Have to get back in the groove for a few weeks til Christmas.
Later

This was a great Thanksgiving. I had the most important people here with me; Chris, Ben, Sam , my Sydney, and John. The rest of my family was here with me in my heart. I missed them but carry them with me always.
The weather was so nice, Sydney got to play outside and take a ride on the 4 wheeler with her daddy.
Our dinner turned out great......all ate way too much.
Chris was here with his cat Zeek.....which Sydney loves. I had put up the tree and had the lights already on it. So the big event of our day was to let her put the ornaments on the tree. This was such great fun.......she would get an ornament out of the box and just cram it up in the tree branches. It was a trip.. I laughed so hard . And of course she wanted to play ball with all the round ornaments. None were broken... at that time at least. I broke one after everyone left and I was cleaning up. Wouldnt you know .
I have this one ornament that is a motorcycle.......Sydney took it out of the box, put it on the floor, and sat over it like she was riding it. Oh my GOSH..did we laugh.
Then Uncle Chris got his 4 wheeler out and her daddy took her for a ride. It was a perfect day
I love my family..........the ones here with me and the ones that were with their own families. Each one hold a special place in my heart and in my life.
