I suspect you are glorying in the big snowfall. A little present from God to make you feel less lonesome. Enjoy!

Grandma was looking good when I finally got back to see her yesterday. She is looking forward to seeing you, too! Any special foods you'd like while you're home? At this point, the plan is turkey for Christmas dinner, with cheesy potatoes by request from Michael (I didn't think you'd object either!). I'm open to additional suggestions, as well as for other meals while you're here.

I expect the time will fly by this week. Lots of things to do and excitement builds. I can almost feel you in my arms for a big hug already!

For just about anyone else, I'd be feeling sorry for you with all the news about the huge winter storm, but I expect/hope you are enjoying it to the fullest, especially since it's not a work day so you don't have to drive if you don't want to. Am I right?

Cookies are baked. It never looks like there will be enough - don't know how they actually seem to last as long as they do.

7:30 am 1 Glazer donut, 1 c Quaker Oat Squares, 1/2 c light vanilla soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, coffee
