Nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

1. What's the best thing that's happened to you since last Christmas?
Rededicating my life and having Leo join me.

2. What was your best Christmas ever? Why?
When my BIL came home from Desert Storm.  We missed him so much.   We made signs and lined up at the airport.  What an overwhelming sense of happiness and joy for all of us.


3. What's the most meaningful Christmas gift you've ever received?

My poor, sweet daddy used to give us hand lotion and bath powder.  I'd love to see that under my tree again.

4. What was the most appreciated Christmas gift you've ever received?
Back in 1960 - I got a furry cat pin to wear on my collar and a Timex watch.   It was only after opening our gifts that we were told my grandfather was dying.  We were able to get to Clanton before he passed away.  He was and is my hero.


5. What was your favorite Christmas tradition as a child?
The family would load up in the car and go look at Christmas decorations and then stop to eat at our favorite restaurant.  I take my grandkids out now and we have the best time!!

6. What is your favorite Christmas tradition now?
I get my grandkids one night and we bake cookies and watch "Christmas Vacation" or "It's A Wonderful Life".    Plus one night we go riding and look at decorations.  I want them to remember nana with lots of smiles!!!
