Yesterday, due to the work schedules of the younger ones, my family had it's annual Christmas Meet!! The house was packed!! I guess you could blame my folks for the confusion...after all, it was ALL THEIR FAULT! LOL Four kids, eight grand kids, four great grand kids [two of them brand spankin' new], various sponses, inlaws, and a few outlaws, made for quite a day. Add to that my dad's only sister and her kids and grands and it was the normal controlled chaos that typifies our family get togethers!! Oh, and one CAT for the youngsters to torment, while he tried to steal turkey from various plates!!! We've been blessed this year with health, happiness, light and love and a new generation. We have one still in Irac but he survived his first year-long tour and after a short hiatus, just a couple of months, has begun his second. If love can protect him, he'll be home again for next Christmas. Here's wishing you and yours all the simple pleasures life can bring - family, love, laughter, and DOGS!!! -- Suzanne Kinman www.tsalishepherds.com Home of BIS/BISS Ch Yancy ITs HT PT RE CD TC CGC BH, Helios IPO3, Ch Flair, Tess [168 PLUS ROM points/55 ATAA points], Gilli RN[Mjr Res Winner], Witchin!! and all the others waiting at the bridge.
