Good morning to you all! We are going to head out to the commissary in about 45 minutes so thought I would hurry and post before we go. We have dinner with the kids at 5 pm. They are going to pick us up at 5 anyway. Oh my gosh you should have seen their Christmas card this year. They always do family photo kind of things and this year she did a Happy New Year one and it was a scene in the woods with a bear on the ground, Tom is laying on the ground on his back in jeans and tshirt with this EEK kind of look on his face, the bear has Tom's arm in his mouth and there is a log behind Tom and Thomas is standing with a big old shot gun, one foot on the stump smiling with this backwoods had on adn the gun pointed down at his dad. It is Hilarious. I told Jack, take away the expensive watch, the Hollister tshirt, and the Wallaby shoes and Thomas could be one of those backwoods hillbillies!

We had go rounds with the tires yesterday as they didn't have them when we got there even though they said on Tuesday they would be there. We were at Firestone from 12:30 PM until 4:30 PM. I always get a survey to fill out and I let them have it. I was really mad because they told us we could leave and come back in a hour and a half they would be there and we did and they still weren't there. We got all kinds of bologna until I sort of yelled over to Jack (I was sitting in the waiting area) that if they didn't want to sell us 4 tires we would go somewhere else. Then it was "just wait a second we are trying to solve this." I said, "Solve it then and right now!!!" He sent a guy out immediately and our car was ready in about half an hour after that.
Men don't like assertive women!

Maggie: Jack always takes Nyquil. It is the only thing he will take and swears by it. He is right in the middle of the cold, the worst part and is sleeping in the recliner downstairs, we both are at the moment. I worry about him so much. Sounds like you have a cute screensaver. Hope you enjoy your holiday weekend. Does the church do anything special when Christmas falls on a Sunday???

Jean: It was supposed to be sunny here today but we have the same gloomy ole stuff. The house was freezing when we got home last night so we had to turn up the furnace then turn it down when we went to bed. Jack watched the Las Vegas Bowl which had his favorite team, Boise State and then came to bed. This morning besides the terrible cold, he had a Niaspan attack so had to sit in front of the fan until it receded. It was a short one this time though. You all have fun with the family this weekend. I am sure you are going to be busy!!

Hope Santa is good to all of you!!! Faye
