Aunt Barb Dec 27/09 Good Morning/Good Evening Sarena, How are you Sweetie? Hope you have enjoyed you holidays. We are all fine here and hope that you are the same. Larry and I enjoyed Christmas Day with Larry, Laura and Whitney. We had Christmans Dinner about 1 PM and because I had to work late on Christmas Eve I was very tired Christmas day. We came home about 3 o'clock and I laid down and had a power nap and about 6 Larry and I went up to Auntie Mare's and had another bite to eat and dessert. Yum Pie, Lots of Pie...Ha Ha... On Sunday, today I am having friends in for a late get-together and a bite to eat. Oh oh, Turkey again. I cooked mine yesterday. So cold turkey and salad and the rest of the fixings. We had 3 feet of snow on the deck and Larry Jr came over with his snowblower and helped to clean off the deck so it wouldn't colapse on us. With the new roof the snow doesn't stay on very long and if it warms up during the day it slides off onto the deck. I will be going back to work on Monday Dec 28, work for a few days and then I'm off Jan 1/2010. It's my weekend to work so Jan 1 & 2, I'll be a work. I think Aunt Becky and Darcy are coming today for dinner, I'm making Ceaser salad as Darcy is crazy for Ceaser Salad. Hope that you have ejoyed your holidays. Keep writing as I always enjoy your messages and notes on your great adventure. Happy Holidays, Happy New Year Love Aunt Barb

Nana Hi Sarena just wanted to say hi and let you know your Christmas parcel is on its way.. I hope you get it before but if not then you will have it for later on.. love ya, Nana and Uncle Ty

Barb Swim Aunt Barb Today Dec 02/09Good Morning Sarena,Hope this finds you well and in the Christmas Spirit.Uncle Larry and I are well and busy working everyday.The contractors have finished the renovations to the house and we are enjoying the new windows, doors etc.Have you moved to your new host family as yet?If you have, what part of the city are you in?Darcy, Aunt Becky's son is arriving home for Christmas on Dec 15 and on Dec 20 cousin Monica, Auntie MaryAnn's daughter is arriving.I haven't sent you a note for a couple of weeks and I feel I have been falling down on the job.We had 3 weeks that were very hectic here as Auntie MaryAnn ended up with pnenumonia and she spent a few days at the hospital on a daily basis with difficulty breathing. But she is on the mend now and is alot like her old self. She finished her 4th round of Chemo on the 26th of Nov and her 5th is due on Dec 10.Everything is going smoothly with her now so here's hoping her last 2 chemo's go off without a hitch.Auntie MaryAnn is one wonderful, amazing women who is very postive about her Cancer treatments.I know with the Christmas season fast approaching you might be feeling a little out of sorts but remember that you are loved and thought off often and this is a remarkable opportunity for you. The next 6 months will slip by with speed all its own.Keep writing as I enjoy your thoughts and comments on your great adventure.Love Aunt Barb

nana Hi kiddo.. we miss you so much.. it was so nice to talk to you again and Auntie Mare was so pleased to hear from you... she was also bragging about the gift she got from you and asked if i got one too, so I told her no, because I don't have Cancer, and that you sent it to her because you wanted her to know that she is in your heart and thoughts.. Love you bunches, I saw some of your pictures but thought I would look at them tomorrow at work since i have high speed there.. love you baby girl, Nama
