That's a shame. There's a lot of that going around. I just ran in to a friend today. She said here sister hasn't spoken to her in 20 years. And she doesn't know why. She just found out her sister was a grandma through her mother's obituary.

As for my uncle his wife and her 3 kids we know a little of why they don't speak to us but that is fine with all of us. He does not speak to the entire family. I don't even know if he knows that his father passed away 4 years ago.

Scott's side of the family is his Mom and her husband, his grandmother and grandfather. Their main reason not to speak to Scott is because of me. Scott is their precious baby and no one is go enough for him. It is funny one time before they stopped talking to us his grandmother stood right there in front of me and was trying to convence Scott to divorce me. It is funny they never liked the ex wife while they were married but now they talk to her all the time because it is the only way they can keep tabs on the kids.

I feel for you Robin. Grandpa had Alzheimer's and I didn't see him the last 5 years of his life. The last time he saw me he didn't know who I was and that broke my heart. I was his Becky Sue (even though that is not my middle name) and I cried all the way home, heck I am crying now just thinking of it. If you need another person to lean on I am here.

That is my grandmother now. She lives in California. I have not gone to see her since my grandfather passed away 4 years ago. I saw her when my mother was in ICU but that was real breif. It is a shame because I spent all my summers and school holidays out with Grandpa and Grandma. Before my mother got ill she would take Mackenzie out to see Grandma 2 times a year. Grandma still lives by herself and can do ok. Except she does not eat and does not have food in the house and does not drive so she can not go anywhere. It is just really hard. She gets all of us confussed and things that we have all done she gets confussed. I don't think she has called me Carrie in over 10 years. She said to mean things when my mother was in ICU. Yes she is mothers, mother but I don't even think she knew she said it. It made everyone in the room just kind of sit back and think does she really care.

I felt the same way when Grandpa died. He died at home. She was getting rid of his stuff the same day he died. I have never heard of her crying over him, nothing. All of his stuff was gone within a week and she lives life like he was never there. That really hurts me.

We will be stopping by to see her and my uncle in June on our way to DL. So we will see what happens.

Last night was a rough night. I think Mackenzie came into 4 different times saying she could not sleep. I finally figured out why. Mom was wrong about allergies. She is sick. She had a temp of 100.9 as of 2:00 in the morning. Unfortunatly I am now sick also. I don't have the temp but I do have the sore throat, pressure in the head and stuffy nose. We have no medicine for either of us in the house so I am going to send Scott to the store when he gets up.

Ontop of her comming in we had 4 power failures last night. Have no idea what was going on but everytime it went black in our house Mackenzie laid in bed screaming, and Kelsey and Kyle started following dad around the house. So Scott has had very little sleep if any.

I like it, it is cute but what a way to make a sale. They know darn well that we all sit back trying to figure out when we can go again and then you get the card. Hmm wants to make me run right out and book.

Awwwww. The flu has really been going around this area. My boss was out of the office for a week with it. She called my office to see if everything was alright. She was thinking about coming in. I told her to stay home... the rest of us didn't want it and she needed some rest. I said I'd take care of things while she was gone. My ds has a cold now and the baby has a little one. We've been pretty lucky. Hope it stays that way.

Hope you guys feel better soon.

Here you go Paige and Karen:


Christmas Village

Tree Number 1 (Living Room)

A favorite ornament

Another Favorite

Here's our tree...

Our Fav decorations. When you pull the string his arms and legs move. There is also Mickey and Minnie.
My Mom gave them to Cassie a few years ago.

I love the story "A Christmas Carol"

Cassie's village. Since we downsized... we don't have a lot of room for it. We used to put it next to our fireplace in our previous home. It looked to nice there.

These are all wonderful - perhaps Rick might get the tree down from the loft next week.

Just some more winter fun in Wisconsin

That looks cold Nancy.

I almost said last night to be careful that is how we started our cold on the ship. Drink lots of fluids, it helps.

I am hoping at this point it is just a head cold. The kid has tons of energy. So it is just her nose, cough and the occasional fever. For me right now it is the head, and ears.
