Thank you Chris for my SS presents!    I received two local newspapers from Plainsville, IL, three yummy candybars (all three my favorite), one Chicago, IL t-shirt and an excellent sweatshirt hoodie!  Also, the two Christmas cards were hilarious!

Thank you so much!  I wore my Chicago T yesterday, as it has warmed up to the high 70's.  Who knows, maybe tomorrow I can wear the hoodie!  Weather in Texas changes day-by-day!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Holiday!  My husband did take photos of me, but they are horrible!  I will redo them before posting!

Ohhhhhh Ramona you are the bestest SS there is.   I mean  a box full of goodies from lip gloss,
to hand lotion,to body lotion, to an angel for the tree, and a little angel holding a green ribbon for ESRD, sugar corn (delicious), pretzels, and scrumptous choclate mallows.  But that is not all, I got a t-shirt with Ebensburg, PA on it, plus four pairs of socks (2 of them Christmas) and a good smelling candle and lastly a local newspaper.  WOW what a box and what a girl.  Ramona you are
THE ONE and then the lovely card telling me all about you and your family.  You  sent me so much I feel like one of the family, too.
Thank you my lovely for all of these sweet things.
I do pray that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.

Much Love,
