All Good Things in 2009

Happy New Year to All!
Things are finally settling down at the Moore house. We all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends. I did remarkably well after my last treatment. I think with all the holiday excitement and my sister and niece taking me, I actually did not go into my "golden slumber".
All my family arrived by Christmas afternoon, which was really a treat. The only member missing from my siblings was my younger brother and his family. Hopefully, we will get together soon. Mary and Kathy are coming over this Saturday. We are all very excited about being able to spend some more time with them.
Monday is back to the city for my 4th treatment. This is when they are changing my medicine. This medicine shouldn't cause nausea, but may bring bone and joint pain as well as tingling in the hands and feet. We will see.
I can't tell you all enough how great it makes me feel to sit and talk with you, read your emails and just know that you are praying for me. You all are keeping me going! This battle really stinks... but I know in the end, we will all have much to laugh and smile about...
May all the good things that you wish and dream for come to you in 2009!
I love you all.

Glad to hear the Moore family had a great Christmas and New Year...
Having family around sure makes a difference during the holidays...
Good luck with the new treatment, sounds like you will do better with it... Other than that, I'm kind of glad the holidays are finally over, now we can get back to normal again...
Take care, good to here from you...

Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face.
"Why do you do that, mommy?" he asked.
"To make myself beautiful," said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue.
"What's the matter?" asked Little Johnny. "Giving up?"

So happy your holidays were so joyful and happy. Ours was sooooo nice. We exchanged gifts with the "other" Moore family the weekend before Christmas. Then the next day with the Cleveland family and on Christmas morning the Lasley family. We spread it out this year. It was a lot of fun. I think this year in particular we all felt closer to each other and we all know what's important. I am looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. I'm flying low right after work tonight. I should get to Mary's by 10:30 or so ( traffic permitting). Take care and God Bless you and your family. You are "never" far from my thoughts and always in my prayers. Love Kath

Church Bells
On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."

She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"

HI Kay-
I'm so happy you had a nice holiday! I hope the treatment was ok. It was so nice having the 2 weeks off...it was tough to go back and get into the routine again! I had to take off today already to take Cori to the Dr.
Feel better!!!
Love, Colleen D.
