WELCOME HOME STEPHEN AND THE REST OF YOUR UNIT.

My friend Sue had her son in law return early this morning from Afghanistan.  The smile on his wife's face says it all.  I'm so happy that Kasey has his daddy for Christmas.  I'm so glad that many families will be together this Christmas. 

Next weekend we celebrate Olive's first birthday.  I can hardly wait to see her.  She's walking now and we haven't seen her in months. 

Christmas -- I'm busy baking and making candy for the docs and some of my co-workers.  Money is tight and I' rather give something from my heart and kitchen. 

Back to the kitchen.

HUGS everyone
