Focusing on the good stuff

First, here's my "bummer" news...just to get it off my chest. (bad pun)  I've had a bad cold/sinus infection, wicked cough, etc. all month....starting New Year's week-end! Have been to the doctor at least 3 times...so, now several antiobiotics, inhalers, steroids,codeine,lung fluid later....I have some kind of chest infection/asthma thing that has caused my doctor to cancel our Carribean cruise. So today I am feeling sorry for ourselves.. Steve is taking it very philosphically and feels it was inevitable.  I was still hopeful up until yesterday when Dr. Dusseault layed the hammer down.  So we're around this week and I"d love a call or visit. We can pretend we're on a cruise together! I was thinking of dressing in my summer clothes and visiting the Olde CountryBuffet to try to duplicate the cruise experience.  See, just writing this is making me in a better mood.

In the meantime, we had a wonderful Christmas with all the kids and everyone was healthy and happy. Went to the Disney on Ice show with Carrie, Sarah, Elizabeth and Charlotte and Carrie's mother in law Mary.  A fun girls afternoon out. Love figure skating! even the Disney variety... Had a fun New Year's week-end with Mary and Ron at Chatham First Night on the Cape. I didn't stay up until midnight (my cold had already kicked in) but we had a lot of laughs together.  We've been enjoying the Patriots march to the Superbowl, too. 

We are  excitedly waiting for our newest grandchild to make an appearance. Sarah's pregnancy is coming along nicely and she is due on March 7.   The winter has been mild and so I do have lots to be thankful and appreciative for.

Thanks for listening.  :)

Love, Cilla
