Day After Christmas 2008

Dear Family and Friends, I have just spent most of the morning looking at all of your blogs. They are great and make me feel guilty for not doing better. Also make me feel envious for not doing all the fun things you all do. Also make me feel boring after seeing how creative you all are. Also makes me feel very grateful to have all of you belong to me. I love you all so much.

Christmas was a little different for Grandpa and me this year, but it was fine. The weather didn't cooperate very well. Lots of snow. The perdictiion for Christmas Day was probably worse than it really was, but besides the weather we found out that we were quite tired after Christmas Eve. That tells both of us that we really are closer to 80 now than 79. I keep telling myself that there is no difference, but---.

We had a great visit with Laurie on Wednesday. We tried to use our new Skyp, but still need a few more instructions. Actually Josh skyped us and we could see him, but he couldn't hear us. He looked good. Then Laurie got on. Same thing we could see and hear her, but she couldn't hear us. We have new speakers, but don't know how to get them on. HELP

It is awful to be dependant on other people for our need. Our neighbors are so kind to do our walks. Grandpa hates having them do it, but we both appreciate it.

Christmas Eve was great at Rick and Marilyn's. So good to see all of you. We missed those of you who were not with us, but know it isn't always possible for all of us to be together.

Hope you all have a Very Happy New Year. Love to all, Grandma
