Dizzy Christmas Day

So, here it was Christmas Day and we were having dessert with Opa at the Residence when all of a sudden I got very dizzy. Thinking it would pass, I ate some more pie. After a few minutes, I realized that it wasn't going to go away, so Dad helped me to the bed. Opa scooted to the nurses' station and she came and took my pulse, which was okay. Dad put me into the wheelchair and took me home where I went straight to bed. Seeing the ceiling moving in circles and the fan gliding across the ceiling was something else. I closed my eyes and waited for it to go away. After a few hours, I was better and able to get up. What a Christmas to remember!

Our Christmas Dinner 2008

Well, Christmas has arrived, and both Mom and I are spending it alone. As some of you know my eye troubles negate me from being able to pick up "Opa," to join us, so we enjoyed our Christmas rib roast together. Here's a picture of us. Hope all your Christmas celebrations are fun and that you enjoyed them with both family and friends. We love you all.

A Blessed Christmas

We want to wish you all a very Blessed Christmas. Our tree may be small, but the true meaning has nothing to do with a Christmas tree. Size does not matter either. What does matter is how you remember what Christmas is all about, the receipt of God's gift of Himself, in the person of His Son.

Espresso Madness

I have wanted a really nice espresso machine for some time now so I checked online and found a reconditioned one at a good price with $24 shipping. Dad encouraged me to order it and to stop being so cheap. What? Me cheap? Well, being a dutiful obedient wife, I did it! So, it gets here, I brew a cup and started the steam froth thingy. The machine was thumping on the counter with each pulse of the motor! Packed it up, sent it back. SO after spending almost $50 in shipping to and fro, I still don't have a professional espresso machine!!!!I am not a happy camper. I have a small Black & Decker one which I decided is working just fine. Cheap? Yes! I admit it. But right now I need a Latte.
