Many thanks to JoAnn, Karen, Diane, Betty, another Kathy & Masaki. Yes, these are tying times. Knowing that others care helps.

We've scaled down Christmas decorations and I'm relying on some excellent prepared foods to add to what I'm making myself. All the gifts are here - just not wrapped. Gift bags and tissue paper are a wonderful invention! With 3 grandchildren to add to our celebration Christmas will be a happy day.

Frank's prognosis is not good. Please keep the family in your thoughts.
