Talking about the snow, we missed it all, which was fine with me and Gene. We enjoyed being with both families. While at Chris' we rented a limo and all went out to eat and then had him drive us around and look at Christmas lights. I know I've told some of you, Kyle broke out with chicken pox on Tuesday while we were all at Chris and Michelle. Yes we too are keeping Ed in our prayers. Haven't called, I guess because I don't want to intrude, but think of him each day and pray that things are going well. Is he trying to work at all until he starts feeling the effects of the treatment? Don't know whether I'm suppose to mention Chris and Michelle's news since she did not, but I'm going to anyway. They have put a contract on a house. It's not too far from her mothers and has four bedrooms. We're happy for them and hope that all goes well. Sometime closings can be difficult. Of course, I'd know since we've bought so many times. Howie and Lol also has news, they got a new van. Their died just before Christmas. So other news that may make some of you sad. They have used that long sofa that was Mom and Dad for a long time, first in their living room and then in the children''s play room. While we were there Christmas, someone had a trailer full of new furniture (long story; don;t know all details) We went and looked and Howie and Lol both two matching love seats and that was the end of the old sofa. I'm sure you all remember it, it was never pretty, that velvet with the print. It lived a long life. Bertha, did Amber's dress fit her or were you not happy with it? I'll return it if you want me to. Christie, about getting together more, you're all welcomed here anytime, just give me a couple of weeks notice. Love you all, Margaret
