I had a great day in the garden. I spent about 6 hours in the garden on Thursday. Vern\'s son, who is 55 and mildly mentally challenged, has been coming over to help me. Actually he comes over every Thursday for the afternoon and for dinner. Only day of the week I cook. This is his 3rd week o the garden and he is getting the hang of it. He only has use of his right hand but does do a good job of cleanup and is starting to recognize the difference between garden garbage and bulbs. And I tell him how wonderful he is doing and he eats that up. My other garden helper is also here on Thursdays and he also helps him. This is so good from him because it gets him out of his condo and into the outside air.

My tomatoes did not freeze and are setting on big time but this beautiful weather will probably not last.

I have a major staining and resealing of the patio, courtyard and driveway. All is done, as of today but cannot walk on the driveway or courtyard for 4 days. Only problem there is getting the dogs to the front landscape so they can go on their walk. I did it today carrying both dogs that each weight 20 pounds but it was no problem except for the large river rocks I have to walk on before I hit the lawn. So tomorrow I am going to carry one dog at a time and tie one to the streetscape tree and return for the other one. They are creatures of habit and the minute we head for that side of the house, which is the only way accessible at this time, they freak out.

Betty, your list would keep me awake at night. I am just ignoring the comment about you last Christmas.

Linda, I am so sorry about Todd\'s sister. My best to him and his family.

Pat, those dolls you make will be such a welcome gift for some little girl. That will make their Christmas.

We are not sure who will be here for Christmas. One granddaughter\'s husband is a resident and they have no finalized the schedule. They ill be here but they think the day after Christmas. We told them we would wait. The other granddaughter husband has medical school up to the day before so they will probably get here mid day Christmas. Christmas day flights are cheaper because everyone is already where they want to be.

If you guys gets tired of your weather, come visit me in Las Vegas. Hugs, Sharon
