~THIS Is A Christmas Present!~:-)

There is a great Christmas present isnt it? That is a babyboy.
And I lay claim to him as my Great Grandson. Even though there

is no blood connection at all.. This is Donnie's new grandson,

Kelli's baby. Due in 4 months. Is he precious? Look closely,

in front of his sweet face, there are tiny bubbles..Kelli said he

had the hiccups :-) Isnt he just the little man? This is a good, a

VERY good reason for me to sew again.. The boy needs some

blankets and quilts and clothes and well just all sorts of things,

I know between me and Barb, and her Dad, this baby will have

just about anything he wants.. and I am SURE it will be the

same for Jorge's parents..they have to be so excited for them.

I know Jorge is very happy, these kids deserve all this..they both

work 2 jobs, I wish I could help them more.. When you see kids

working so hard to have a good life you just cant help but help

them..

There are so many kids that are just not doing good and boy,

it saddens me.. I look at Kelli, her mom died when she was 4

years old.. had it hard with no mom..she had Donnies wife,

Shirley, she has the 2 girls.. I consider them my grands too..

Nikki and Amber, lovely girls..beautiful. Kelli graduated, she

went to college, married her high school sweetheart.. has a

wonderful job as an accountant..new home..good hubby, she

did things in the right order..NOW baby is on the way...My

Dolly has done good..we are very proud of her...To have

watched this girl grow..its been a great experience.. and

really amazing...but what really is amazing.. I don't know

how all this time went by with out me knowing it !!! :-)

Its already over a year since I moved in here, it doesn't seem

like it.. These past days Ive been so tired the days are going

even faster it seems.. Leaving my desk so early and watching

TV, but I am seeing some great shows.. well.. yesterday I saw

my favorite football team get the pants beat off of them.. They

played like sissies.. I mean.. I didn't even watch to the end of

the game.. The Green Bay Packers are my team... I lived in

Green Bay for 3 years or so..great town..and it is really a great

team..Theyre a nice bunch of guys.. I lived right there but I

never went to a home game.. I could have walked to the field..

I lived that close in an apartment complex there.. I rather watch

it at home and have everything I needed right there, potty,

food.. and didn't have to wait in line either.. I have been to the

stadium, but not on a game day, I went when the team was

practicing and watched them for awhile..THAT I enjoyed..

Kids always watch the team, boys on bikes especially because

they know if they offer their bike to a player they sometimes will

ride it back to the lockers..now,,, what better treat is that for a

kid than to say Bret Farve or someone rode their bike? I would

like it if he rode mine :-) The players were and are very nice

to the fans.. always have time for them which is really nice..That

whole town supports that team..and they appreciate it.. If you

dont..well Green Bay isnt the place to live..:-) its a great town..

I really liked it there and it was good to me..My ex, David and I

moved there right after we got married and both got great

paying jobs.. Me with EDS, and him with a mold company..Its

a great town.. Lots to do and see, and one of the cleanest..

Speaking of clean, we are..Penny came and we got the couch

cleared off, she brought a bag of material up from the basement,

and It may be savable if its washed..its some of the cutest baby

print flannel..so I hope it can..would make some great blankets

and gowns... We held up the swag by the mirror, and I was so

surprised to see how great it looks.. Im afraid for Penny to put

it up though because of the mirror..if that fell.. Donnie put the

mirror up..and I think its stable..Ive slammed the door but..well

a hammer pounding is different..and I would be sick if that

mirror fell.. that would NOT be a good thing..We will figure out

something..maybe a drill..hmmmm.. see? gotta have a plan of

attack.. :-)

And you KNOW where my next attack is gonna be yes? The

kitchen..Penny got a chili and fries from Wendys and they have

the BEST fries and I dunk them in the chili..:-) well ? its really

good..the chili today was especially good, better than I remember

it being..since its been awhile.. There is some chili left and I am

going to have that and one of those lemon bars my sis brought,

THEY are SO good.. Penny said "I forgot to bring your chocolate

fudge. I will drop it off tomorrow" I LOVE that stuff, all this Sweet

stuff its probly a good thing I DONT eat a lot at other times :-) I

really don't eat a lot of sweets..I have them here in case..but I

don't have much that often..This stuff I have now..well- Penny

went to all the trouble to make it and bring it.I have NO CHOICE

but to EAT it..well..that's my excuse anyway.. :-)

Long day and its Christmas Eve..I am here with my boys..we are

snug and warm and well fed..I have heard from so many of my

dear friends I feel very special and I am most grateful for all I

have received, thank you for being my friends and my family..

*Merry Christmas *

With Love,

Lois ****
