Christmas came and Christmas went. And what a Christmas it was. I feel like a glutton now and not merely because of candy (which if anyone wants some, come and get it. We have hard candy, gummy candy, various sorts of chocolate candy, cupcakes, cookies, icecream and soda. yug) but because I made out like a bandit for Christmas. Friends and family have been so generous to me this Christmas I can hardly take it. But the best has come. Yes, my laptop, something I have needed for so long (I still remember, Josh, how you so kindly sent that laptop to me in Oregon when I so desperately needed it) well, something i have needed for a long time has made it. Through the gracious bestowing of Jeffery C. Eaton. and Wow, do I love it. I would ramble off the specs but I don't know them. Neither do I care. All I really know is that it's widescreen, is bursting with memory, has a word processor (of course it does! you say but yes. I'm still delighted over it) is light and sprightly and looks and is extremely competent. Oh, and it has a built in something for me to stick a memory card from a camera into! Geez. I love it so. I'm not sure how I got so fortunate as to have it but I'm not asking any questions!

errrrrrrrrrrrr….after gloating over my dearest laptop, I think I need a rest. I'll write more later! I do want to add though…this year's holidays has been some of the best I've ever had. It's been a good good time with really great people.
