Christmas time's a'coming! Can't wait until tomorrow to see all of you. Some of the Blanchard crew are feeling poorly. Clay missed school on Wednesday with fever and sore throat, Amber missed yesterday and will probably miss today with a fever (around 101) and head congestion. Me - well, I just can't talk. I went back to my GP in Edenton and she changed my asthma meds. In the event that they are causing the hoarseness Who knows? But I'm tired of not singing! or at least sounding like a frog! Merry Christmas to all, we'll miss those of you who can't be at Margaret's.

For Barry: Amber and I will be at the Crown Plaza from the 22nd through the 24th, come by and visit us.
