IT'S 12 DEGREE'S HERE!

I have some pictures on my camera that I could post but to be honest with you I am toasty warm snuggled under an electric blanket in front of the fireplace and don't want to go and get my camera....
We have gotten an Arctic front from the North. I am now convinced "global warming" is a hoax! I had an email from Audy's sister Deb and she informs me it's 50 degree's in Alaska....
It's been a some what crazy week around here. Wednesday was Katie's 34th birthday. James took her to breakfast while Jessalyn and Dawson helped Nana make some cookies for her (the picture in my camera);-)We had alot of fun.
James got word that is dad is having some serious kidney problems. They found cancer in one and a huge tumor in the other one. He is scheduled for surgery on the 29th and him and Katie felt the need to take the whole family home. They are leaving on Tuesday 20th and will return Feb. 4. After that air plane crashed in the Hudson River the other day I am requesting "Skully" to fly my precious cargo to Arizona (I wish) Besides they are in better hands, the Lords.
Yesterday I picked up Molly Anna and we had lunch with Aunt Kate and the kids. I end up with a fun afternoon and evening with her. Mom and Dad were attending a new members class at their church which they have decided to join.
I had a call from Katie this morning and it seems the stomach virus has visited her! James quarantined her to keep everyone well especially with their trip on Tuesday.
This is a tough time of the year as we approach Mom and Dad's anniversary. It all seems to land around this time. Then today a dear sister in Christ went home to be with the Lord today. She suffered an aneurysm on the brain. I will always remember her by the godly example she kept. My heart grieves for her sweet husband, Tony. They seem to have a marriage made of friendship and closeness...farewell Fran Durate you will be greatly missed.
