R-E-L-I-E-F

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. As usual we ate too much, talked till we were hoarse and watched way too many football games. But --- It was so much fun. We had 13 eaters for Thanksgiving Dinner and not much was left over. The only thing missing was all the rest of my friends but that would have been tough to pull off. This year has been a good year and worth waiting for. Yes, there were things I wish would have been different but what I did experience was great.

Time for all the kids to supply their Christmas Wish Lists. Complicating the fact is keeping the cost less than a small fortune or bankrupting me. Make the idea of coal and switches does make sense.

Wild Mom: always on the go. She loves to eat out and shop. England will never be the same after her visit. Bubbles, her dog, loves the people and animals here at the house.

Lady: All those people to cook for placed her in her happy place. No one could help as she wanted to enjoy the moment.

#1: Doing fine in Colorado. He is finding out work there is just as not-fun as here. He still keeps hoping the Jaguars will win and accomplish something but like snow … it melts and dreams vanish.

#2: Nothing new. Up all night and sleeps all days. Boot Time? Could asking for job qualify for a Christmas gift?

Star: Celebrated the Holiday in Georgia. Sure wish she could have been here but one sad law of families .. You must share with the relatives. The van survived as expected. Now it is time to get serious about moving to their new place. I wonder if we will get the address and directions. We all know about the In-Laws. Love you girl.

Princess: She managed to spend some time with us this Holiday and that was nice. But we still can't find a restaurant she likes that we will go to. Nothing seems to be her favorite but greasy wings and hamburgers. Will we ever find something so we can have dinner with her? Life goes on.

Lew: Can start looking forward to a sibling.

Jen: A little down since the Seminoles LOST to the Gators. Oh well, she will get over it or become a Gator Fan. She is looking forward to the trip to London. The only question that remains is "which will give out first -- her wishes or her money?"
