My fall semester of teaching at SFA is just ending so I am getting ready for Christmas.  I am glad to be on break.  Our next semester starts January 12th. Philip and I will be in Port Neches for our family celebration next Saturday. 

 

Some friends and I vistied Jefferson, Tx to take the candlelight tour of historic homes.  The small town is worth a visit.  There is a great general store and lots of gift shops.

NEWS FROM THE HOMEFRONT

Not too much from the “beer lease”.  Murphy has been getting wild pigs and cutting them into roast.  My recipe from the internet called “Mississippi Roast” made in the crock pot is so simple and the roast has no GAMEY taste! 

 

Christmas was different this year not having dad.  It has been over 3 months since he has left this earth.  I know my mom hadprobably been impatient while waiting for him to join her.  She passed away in May, 2010.

 

My evacuee daughter, two teen granddaughters and the golden retriver granddog moved out a month ago.  It sure is a lot less hectic but also too quiet.  Empty nest again.  They are trying to get back to a new normal in their remodeled home.  Their flooring isn't quite finished and they still need to buy some more furniture and rugs.  They will get there.  They are a lot further along than many of our friends that are still waiting on financial assistance from their insurance companies.  Sad!

 

My sister developed a UTI and sepsis and had to be hospitalized for a few days in Kingwood.  She is back at her assisted living in Atascocita but has another UTI.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Just got to sit up after having a heart procedure. My doctor said everything could not have gone any better . He put a stent in.  He also said it was blocked 90%. Thanks for the prayers.

I don't think I have had such a short NEWSLETTER in many years.  I haven't been checking on FB for news as much as usual since the storm.  Also, I don't hear from my sweet classmates anymore.  That means Mike and I will have less and less website updates.  Another class has had to disband their website for the same reason.  Oh, how heartbreaking after working so hard to get it going.

 

I hope you all have the happiest and healthiest of NEW YEARS!
