WHEW..............

THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER !!!

I'VE GOT A LIST OF TOPICS I'D LIKE TO COVER TODAY-----

FIRST, TO THE PACKER FAITHFUL, I DO BELIEVE THAT FAVRE WILL RETURN NEXT SEASON, DESPITE THE TEARS ON NATIONAL TV AFTER THE BEARS FOOTBALL GAME SUNDAY NIGHT.

DURING THE HOLIDAYS I DID RECEIVE A VERY NICE CARD FROM AUNT SHARON AND UNCLE NED. AUNT SHARON IS RECOVERING NICELY AFTER HER HEART SURGERY ABOUT A MONTH AFTER CHEESEDAYS. HERE IS THE UPDATE, QUOTED FROM HER CARD,
"MY SURGERY WAS ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO AND I FEEL GREAT. IT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE BUT THE U.W.HOSPITAL IS TOPS AND EVERYONE THAT I HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VALVE. BEFORE I COULD FEEL MY HEART BEAT AND NOW I'M NOT SURE THEY EVEN PUT IT BACK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BEAT AS HARD. MY DOCTOR IN BRODHEAD SAID HE HAS NEVER HEARD ME SOUND SO GOOD. NO MUMMER SOUND AT ALL. THE PAST TWO WEEKS HAS REALLY BEEN THE CHANGE. MORE ZIP, LESS STIFF (BEEN EXERCISING) AND BEGINNING TO PICK ON NED AGAIN. HE DID GO BACK TO WORK FOR MONROE TRUCKS THE FIRST OF DEC. WE WERE GETTING ON EACH OTHERS NERVES. HE WAS TAKING CHARGE OF "MY" HOUSE, SO IT WAS TIME FOR HIM TO GO. I'M DRIVING AND BACK TO TAKING CARE OF MOM. SHE'S DOING GREAT."

MY FAVORITE "X-COUSIN-IN-LAW" TERESA HAS STARTED A BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN FRANKVILLE BLOG. I KNOW THERE ARE A FEW OF YOU, LIKE ME, THAT LOVE TO HEAR FRANKVILLE STORIES. I'VE ADDED THE LINK IN THE RIGHT HAND BLUE COLUMN.

WE GOT THIS NICE E-MAIL FROM MARY'S DAUGHTER, NIKKI, SENDING US SOME OF HER GOOD LUCK FOR 2007:
OMG guess what happened to me today or i mean tonight.......after work i stopped by Deweys to have a few beers to see how it would be not smoking and drinking...that was way to easy anyway..you know the 3 big red dice that is the 666 shake..well now you get 2 shakes and my first shake i got 654..a free drink and my second shake.......i got 666!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! That was a $200 win....oh yeah did i mention that driving down the street working last night i saw something in the road and stopped and looked and it was a good thing i did as it was two $10 bills and a $20 in a puddle....hope whoever lost it still got to party!! So if my luck keeps up in 2007 i could have a great year!!!! I stopped and bought a scratch off and lost and i bought a powerball too...boy that would be awesome the $200 was my biggest win ever!!!! I had to call Jesse right away and of course bought a round that cost $11.25 and tip $2.00 i was outta there!! Ok i'm going to bed as Maxine is sleeping already so she will probably decide to get up to play around 1 am...shes s joy:) Love and miss and am sending some of my good luck....
