Hey Susankay....
I had kind of a tough Christmas (like all of the rest of you on here) It was pretty quiet without my mom ,my daughter, and my grandkids. But my daughter and grandkids got here on Sat (2 granddaughters ages 2 and 5) They drove 14hrs from Colorado. So right now the house is full of life and laughter. I think now that he holidays are behind us I will be okay. Except it will be hard on me when the kids leave.
Glad to hear you had a pretty nice Christmas after all. And that your Dad is doing better. . How are you feeling? no more kidney stones I hope. Those sound beyond painfull. If it's worse than childbirth I sure don't ever want to experience it

Hang in there... Best wishes for the coming NEW YEAR.
