Can we say "Floozie????" This was me hamming it up on the cruise for hubby. We were dressed for dinner in the excellent Italian restaurant. This is the dress I could not wear since 1995!!! Yes, that is a real tattoo... it’s an apple for the teacher (me). Let me tell you it hurt like !@$#!!!! Anyway, I am still sick!! This is day 12. I am better but along way from my old self. Everything is an effort. I do a little and sit down. I get these coughing spells but at least they are not making me choke anymore. Things are loosening up. Thank heavens.The weather here has been quite nice. Last week was unusually warm up in the high teens, that’s Celsius. This week is more normal around zero and below at night. But praise the Lord, no snow yet. Knock on wood!!!I want to get to the woods this weekend to cut some greenery for my Xmas displays. Better do it before the snow flies. I have several new Xmas decorations I want to make for outside. I have everything but the greenery. Xmas shopping is well unnderway. Actually, have about 80% finished. Then the other 15% I know what to get. And then there is the final 5% that I have no clue... namely my dad!!!! Michael and I are going light on each other this year because we just took a cruise and we have the other one coming the end of Mar which we upgraded to a balcony suite. Plus we just bought a top end camera because ours died on the end of the cruise. I swear that cruise was cursed. We will just get a few items and then it will be the stocking stuffer things(my favorite part).Anyway, gang gotta trot and try to do a little more around the house. I really will attempt to keep up with everyone now. Be well. Debbie
