Pauline, I am green with envy.  A whole week with your son!!  So happy for you and your son is very handsome, all of you look happy.  My sons faithfully call me each weekend.  One at night and the other usually Saturday morning.  So I got my call from Japan last night and my Pennsylvania call this morning.  I have a standing invite to Japan but that is a very long trip alone.  Made it once.

Blessings,

Sara

Amanda, I am still GREEN!!  Here you go telling about your son and daughter getting closer by.  I am happy for you.  My son used to live in Denver and then lived with us for about 3 years before going to PA, so we really miss him.

Once when my son from Japan came with his family on a trip they were stopped in Atlanta, GA and because she did not have some piece of paper with her - they almost made them return to Japan!!  After about 5 hours being detained, they finally let them go.  Things do get sticky.

Did you ever read the response I posted to you in my Bully forum??

Blessings,

Sara

Pat, holidays can be very sad after losing someone you love.  Been there many times.  It is sad in a way that my sons can't visit but I am so happy for them when I know they are happy with their families that it makes it okay.

It will be next week when I send the cards but glad gifts are in the mail.

I think I have been to your forum but I will get back soon.

Peace and hugs,

Sara
