It is so wonderful to hear from all of you again and I thank you for your messages~
Unfortunately, time does not stand still for healing or for the appreciation of good things; my mom (81 years) had to be hospitalized with pneumonia and other maladies which I cannot get a clear explanation of from the doctor in charge and seeing that virtually everyone in the fam is out of town for the holidays, I'm the only one here to take care of her.
So, I won't be doing a whole lotta bloggin right away -

because Moms come first. Wish us luck though, as it seems the little lady, who we have always referred to as "98 lbs of screaming steel" has about run out of steam and I need to regain my strength NOW.
Thanks people - I remain your
Pye
Thanks for the prayers!
Hugs
