2024 - WHERE HAVE YOU GONE? (But tons of memories were made!)   First off, I have to tell you our precious pooch, Maggie, is doing so much better. After a visit to the vet and getting medication, she's back to normal. Oh, and chicken and rice helped, as well. Thank you for your prayers.    It’s almost Christmas, and as you can see from the above photo, Ray and I are rather festive in our holiday t-shirts. We planned to find ugly sweaters on our trip to Goodwill, but when we saw these cute little numbers, we couldn’t resist them.   And while we shopped for our holly-jolly fare, I asked my sweet hubby, “How is it possible that it’s almost Christmas? Where has this year gone? Shouldn’t it be July 4th that we’re celebrating instead?”   Here are the highlights of my (and hubby's) year: The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Will they do it again? I read sixteen books this year. WOW! Top pick: A Million Little Choices by Tamera Alexander – (Hint: the central theme is how the couple handles infidelity). Ray’s cousin in Florida found out that she is cancer-free. Fun time at my 50th Class reunion this summer. Have I really been out of school that long??? Losing two family members and three close friends this year has taught me that life is precious. Make the call, visit, or write a note to someone that pops into your head. Tomorrow may be too late. Last but not least, I have to give a SHOUTOUT to you, my faithful newsletter readers. I love the notes you send me. Thank you for being so loyal each and every month. Wishing you and your family have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year!!!
