Aliya

Hey, we are going to have to get together sometime, I didn't realize it but there are quite a few of us here in east TN, We'll get to meet when the Bente Express rolls through town in a couple weeks, anyway.

I'm looking forward to the get together in Gatlinburg too. I'm feeling pretty good, until I think I'm well enough to do things and end up over doing it. lol I had doctor appts two days in row, it whipped me, so I'm taking it easy right now.

Your welcome Aliya - sadly one of the babies fell out of the nest today. Everyone is so upset! I'm a total eagle addict since I found them!

Hows the house coming?

i know. i am the hosptal and the pc is crazy. new anti bac. no smijyes. no net for my pc.

I wouldn't be going out today if not for an appointment, so Starbuck's is my reward for going out into temps in the teens. I will toast you with a Caramel Latte!

Hi Aliya, Funny thing is it was supposed to snow AGAIN today, but I dodged the bullet and it is going further south. YAY! Freedom! Starbucks!!! Hope all is well with you.

I had about four days with mobility, but tonight we are supposed to get another 10" of snow. Good grief!! Thanks for asking. I'll be watching movies and hugging cats.

Thank you for the card I see you live in Smyrna. LOL, I have been to Smyrna in Turkey only. But the grandfather of my two oldest was living there when he was young. He was very old, born 1890 and he left Greece to Smyrna as a child and in 1921 he, like all the Greeks living in Tyrkia, had to leave and lost his two children and wife and never found them. So 30 years later he married again and got two new children in Greece.

So when I was in Smyrna, I was telling the story to the lokal people and then it seems like many of them had a Greek grandgrandparent and they was even curios of the name

Thank you, you are so nice. I bought the dress long time ago because I never had time on Christmas Eve to fix myself because I was always so busy and I just draged it over my head before my parents were coming. So it has been so kind of tradition, I never wear the dress except that day
