MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS

First of all, let me wish all of you a very merry Christmas and happy new year.  I never got around to buying Christmas Cards and I would feel worse, but I learned years ago that whether you are ready or not, Christmas does not wait - it comes the same time every year!!   Guess what!  I am not ready, but too bad for me because it is here.  I have painted and wallpapered and am making a plan to return to Florida to live.  It is warm and sunny there.  However, someone once said if you want to make God laugh, just make a plan.  And, after all, I made a plan to move to North Carolina and we all know how that worked out!!  So, I am planning to move back to Florida, but trying not to say it too loudly so nothing changes it!!  Anyway, I want to take time to thank all of you so much for letting me grieve to you this last year and a half.  From now on, I hope to bring you more upbeat news and more than a little humor while I seek employment and a place to live!  Meanwhile, peace and joy to all of you.  Love, Ricci
