Christmas gift exchange... with some HO HO HO's...

Party Party Party....

Yes that is what this season tends to bring...

Well that.. and colds and flu.

I am sorry to say that work.. AND... perhaps a bit of the cold or flu prevented a couple of the gals from joining us ....

As this was the day of our RENEW group meeting and.... Christmas gift exchange!

You can see that Stell is totally into it...

As is Teres.....

Ruthie here is doing her part in playing Santa

And Chris can barely keep her eyes off the stash!!!But she does seem to like what she sees

as does Stella

Barb is so happy with hers... she can't even sit down!!!

Teres our hostess with the mostess...gave each of us stationary with our initials...that she made with her own little paws...
Aren't they nice?!!!!

Who knew so such a little woman could contain so much talent !!!Barb once again.. so taken with her gift...

Still cannot bring herself to take her seat.... I think it was her version of a standing ovation.

You know...

THESE are the gals I often give the hardest time to... I tease them unmercifully..

in person ... and often on this blog.. Why....???

Because I can..

Well that and because they get me..

I don't worry (too much ) that I have offended..

They know I tease them because I love them... and I would never say or do anything on purpose to hurt them.. in the end... I have learned so much from themI feel lucky to know them.

* Carol and Janet.. we missed you... Have a great Christmas!!
