Our dear sweet on- her-feet -all -day sister Kathe is finally having to succumb to hip replacement surgery on Dec 19th. She hashad  more and more issues with it in the last few years so the time has come!  Since she fractured her pelvis in the car accident, she is happy she has had this many good years without having to have the hip replaced (thanks to her good living and chiropractic care of course (that is my plug))!!
I am sure she will do well and please keep her in your prayers.
I heard through the grapevine (Julie) that Linda went home today!  We are all excited to hear of this and makes us all know that is the best Xmas present you guys can give us during these here Holiday!!!
Bonnie thanks for reminding us how proud you are of your daughter  Sarah who graduates with a 4.0 We share in that pride and hope you celebrate with much zest!!!!  She is amazing.

Kathe and I are going shopping for a bed for her as she claims there is an outline of her body in her present mattress which could be a problem for her post surgery healing support...so off we go.  We may do a "Layla" drive by as we will be in their hood and we hear that Layla now crawls over to the big picture window in their living room and stands up with her hands on the glass and looks out at the BIG NEW WORLD which she cannot wait to discover!!!   Maybe her wee little face will be in the window when we pull up.

Julie and Bev are in downtown Chicago as we speak today.  They are having a weekend at the Palmer House for their enjoyment of all the sites and some shopping.  We were going to try to meet but when time is short and you just want to relax, trying to meet up becomes a job...I am heading tonight into chicago for a play on the North Side...so my dance card is filled up for today

Saw Brett yesterday and he too is going to be in downtown Chicago at the Skating Rink with a friend...and what a glorious day it is with sunshine so that sounds fun.  He is driving up to see Fred and Beth and their family after his finals this week and he is really looking forward to that....we told him what a great host and hostess F and B are and their family is a real joy to be around.

Roseanne and I are getting together for a wee bit next Saturday as she comes out to the burbs from her city digs to do some "country girl" things with me....  We are both hooked on Lifetime Movies now  so glad she got a life and discovered this!!

Ed and Linda..let us know all that you can   I have not heard much from Mike and Nancy  Ed and Mary Fleege but did get to talk to Joanne last week and she was making beef and noodles...it sounded all so good...Tom and Bonnie will be busy celebrating the graduation I believe this weekend so we are so blessed to be able to be so busy and active!!  Love from Chitown
