Prayers for Trish she managed to break her foot right before her big move! I'm sure she can use all we can send her way!!!

Got a call from my daughter this am that she and grandsons were evacuated from their apt. in the middle of the night because the buildings around her were on fire. Praise God their apt is ok, did have smoke damage that needs fixing before they can go back to their place. The red cross is there helping but would appreciate prayer that all goes smoothly getting back in their place and prayers for all those who lost everything that lived around her. What a horrible thing to happen right before Christmas. Blessings to you all!

Almost forgot.  I am using Chinet plastic dishes for Christmas dinner.  Most of my dishes and glasses are packed, thanks to two friends from church.  I asked that they leave me two of everything in the dishes and glasses, and certain pots and pans.  These two lovely ladies blitzed my kitchen in about an hour, making sure they used plenty of newspaper to cushion the dishes.  I bought extra Chinet plates so that right after Christmas, I can pack the rest of the kitchen, and use disposable plates till the move, which is the weekend after Christmas.

Hugs,

Trish

I'm sure it will all fall into place but it is stressful when you don't know for sure! I sure hope you are using paper plates for Christmas dinner so you don't have to wait till last minute to get that packed! Concentrate on the big items, you can always mail smaller boxes to yourself if needed. That's what my daughter did when they spent the summer here, she knew it wouldn't all fit in the car with them. Best of luck on your move and be sure to send me your new addy! God bless!!!!

That's sad, but they can do amazing things with stroke patients these days. Our friend was told she'd wouldn't even make it and now while not totally back to normal she is very close! I'll pray for JoAnne to accomplish the same!
