Colds in January are no fun!!

Just as the new year is starting, all is settling down, decorations are up, house is clean and picked up.................. I get sick!! I have a terrible cold and am trying to nurse it before it gets worse. Looks like it will be soup for a few days because I can`t taste anything.

Before I came down with this cold, I was able to do some visiting with friends and family with phone calls. I enjoyed talking to the Phillips in Orlando. I caught up with Cathy, Tricia and Dian. Wish we were closer so we could visit more but since we are not, phone calls are great. One by one, I was able to call some dear, old friends before Christmas and talk to them. Emails are a good way to keep up but there is still nothing like a phone call to talk one on one with someone special.

Changes come whether we are ready or not. Our dear friend, Linda, has moved away to be with her daughter and grandson. I am glad for her but we will miss her and all she has meant to our family these last 5 or 6 years. She was a life saver when Mother was here. She was the best care giver we could have had and we will all miss her. We wish her the best!

I had lunch with Jewel Faulkner last week and it brought back many memories. It was so good to see her. She was the kindergarten teacher for both girls and Billy. I worked there with her when she had them in her class. She is a sweet, sweet friend. We talked for hours after lunch until it was time for me to go get Papa. I hope to do that again soon.

I am going to get some rest these next days and get rid of this cold. I`ll check back soon. Have a good week!!
