hey Butch:

I m impressed baking cookies can you bring some in our festivus party, I have never baked cookies before, but you guys areall tempting me, our household is not too much into sweets, but I think I should bake this year, you knowwhat I might just go and buy readymade dough and bake some cookies this year maybe my son will like it.

have great Christmas and wishing you and your family happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

That's great, Butch, This is the way it happens - a little at a time. Perhaps Liz is at a point when she can not now do any more. When she perfects these skills, making dinner more and more, and needing your help less, it will be time for new skills.

Happy holiday to you and yours too. Everything sounds so wonderful, I wish I was part of your family and friends.......but you still have that Minn. cold![/color]

Hey Butch!

Glad to hear you are ready for Christmas. I am making a big batch of candy right now, and that's it for me as far as baking goes. (I usually bake so much I can't fit it all in the freezer to store until we need it, like we ever REALLY need it-lol.)

I am glad Lisa seems to continue her progress even though the therapy has changed. Patrick seems to be making slight but steady improvements too. Thats just fine by me.

You and I with our spouses are in this for the long haul, and the load seems to get a tiny bit lighter little by little. We are survivors (of a different kind), too!

Merry Christmas!

Kristen

Butch,
