Well, I haven't been posting much because it's not always easy coming up with something clever to say!!!
For the last couple of days he has had a rip-roaring cold! No temperature and we have had flu shots, but a nasty cough. I almost took him to the Urgent Care this morning, and I may still do that. For now he is covered in Vicks and sleeping all day and most of the night. Last night I heard a big crash upstairs and after a lightening- speed dash upstairs I found that he had tripped over the rocking chair and crashed into the window frame. But all is well and he wasn't hurt.
Dutch is getting very tired of me always having a camera in his face, but what can I say- I like pictures!
We so wanted to be able to go to the kids for Christmas. For many reasons they couldn't come here and Dutch and I were excited to see them again. Time went on and we kept postponing making the reservations. I wanted a direct flight because I felt that a change of planes and the hurrying from one gate to another would be too much for Dutch. These flights are expensive on short notice! Especially when you have airmiles and could get a flight for next to nothing. But with a ticket from airmiles came the change of planes. So we did nothing. Then Dutch had the bright idea that we could fly into Denver relatively cheap and then rent a car and drive from there! NOT!! Since he can have lots of things go wrong with him at any time, I was not prepared to be that far between hospitals. Besides, it was WINTER!! I like driving, but not in the snow! So I thought, perhaps we can drive the wayyy southern route. I like to drive, Dutch can sleep and we would be ok. Hospitals seemed a little closer on that route (yeah right), but really not close enough. Finally Dutch decided that even if we made the trip alright, when we got to Kansas City it was go
ing to be COLD!! Because of his liver disease, he is always cold, so that didn't work for him!! So sadly, we made the descision to stay home. We missed the kids a lot, but knew it was the right descision. If you've watched any weather reports, you will agree with us.

It wasn't planned and all I could think of serving for dinner were tacos!! I guess there's a first for everything..... :-)))Thanks, Sid and Onnlee for making it a special evening!
On Christmas Day we were invited to our friends, Jack and Barbara and their daughter Susanne from Church. The food was great and Dutch talked about it over and over. (I love
d it as well!) Thank YOU, Welty's, for including us in your festivities!
