CHRISTMAS IN PARADISE 2008

Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas, that Santa was good to you all and that you are looking forward to 2009. I am!
We had a very nice Christmas, Jess and Howie were unable to join us as Howie and thier dog, Chad, were feeling punk! We were joined by Bill's sister Carolyn, her husband Jerry and Bill's dad. It was a nice day, but most of my pictures did not turn out, I guess the lighting was poor on the lanai. We did have an unxpected guest, I'm attaching a picture, and also Jess wanted all to know that her mother contributed to her substance problems, self explainatory via photo.
If Matt or Jim is out there reading, I am in need of a geek, I cannot seem to upload the contents of my IPOD to my new computer... itunes transferred all my purchased stuff, but what about the other 300 songs, what's the secret? help!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Kate and Dan at mom's birthday party. Kate's the short one!

Finally, I (sort of) figured out this photo and blog stuff. Mom had a great time at her 93rd! We gathered at the community room at Conifer. We had some great food and even better company. Several people came from church including Father Finnigan. John and Kay came in from Oswego. Dickie and his new wife Darlene joined the celebration. Dickie was in the middle of painting his new home. He was going to be moving in a few days after the party.
