The Holidays

We are trying to keep very busy after our losses last year of Ann and Orem and Gator. Bruce has been helping to keep Ray busy. I went to a Winning Women of Faith conference in Georgia with Barb, her girls and her sister Marsha. We went to Seaworld with Bruce and Karin and Gaby from Switzerland. Didn't spend much time at the camp. It's lonely without Gator there. We are dealing with a few health issues. Ray had surgery on one of his eyes Glaucoma now he is unable to see well. His VA doc said oh well, sorry bout that, I'll send you to see a retina specialist, NEXT May! So I'm the driver now. His psych doc told him that because he has had congestive heart failure and copd and lost 35 pounds he should get Medicare as the VA is way behind and he needs attention now. I am exausted from a UTI I've had for 3 weeks now. ick Our cruise was fun but the food was ... ok... and no chocolate on my pillow. : ( Guess we'll have to upgrade from Carnival. Log ride at Seaworld! Handy to have two guys to help me in and out! Invited to join a ladies sorority by my friend MaryBeth. Been to a fashion show, a mystery dinner and the Madrigal dinner. Been to several car shows, made Christmas cards, Ray must have made at least 6 batches of cookies, so everyone we know, including the church, hospice and DSIL cookie needs were filled! I just made some Haystacks. Madrigal dinner. Carnival Conquest an artsy themed boat with lots of Renoir,Monet,Degas plus, everywhere. I really liked that part. We even got to bring a Minion that Reba and Susan gave us for Christmas and of course Olaf. Grand Turk Cute Minion mugs from Mom and cute teardrop camper sign from Tess! Love you all, I'll try to be more current next time. BTW Ray's older brother Orem is having a hip replacement on the 18th please keep him in your prayers for a successful outcome!
