Entry for December 31, 2007

Wow, 2008 is almost here... Unfortunately, I have no New Year's Eve plans . No one asks me out. I learned the other deaf club is having a big party in Lakeland. Lakeland is west of Orlando and east of Tampa. That city is too far from my hometown. I can't afford a ticket there when I found out how much cost the party is to me. Also, no one asks me out about this great party. I don't like staying home but I bought a small DiGiorno pizza, more soda, and candy for celebrating New Year at Wal-Mart today. LOL! I LOVE pizza so much! Yummy!

I went over to my parents' house again last Friday night cuz Mom was making lasagna turkey with vegetables. It was sooooo delicious! Yummy ! Afterwards, I ate a dessert, a carrot cake, Dad's favorite. I went home after 9 pm.

Yesterday, I went to the library with my mother. Yes, library opens since the schedule changed few years ago. Mom and I were discussing the online catalog with a libraian. After that, I borrowed 2 DVD movies from there but I will tell u about them in the next blog after "Review of 2007" blog. Then I went home.

According to "Review of 2007" blog, I am still working on it thru February but not making it all the way to December yet. Stay tuned. U will be surprised.

I figured out what's going on at the day care center, across the street from where I live, last Saturday. I noticed some people putting toy stuff and baby's things away into the moving van that Sat morning. The day care center was planned moving out of that big yellow building next to the church. Hmmm. In that afternoon, outdoor toys were put away in the back of the driver's red personal truck. I don't know where the day care center moving to. See a photo of day care center that I took 4 years ago below:

I went to Wal-Mart today. I had a breakfast at McDonald's between shopping. Before I was heading for McDonald's, I picked up a new light mirror that I chose. I can use it with my PA relatives' Xmas gift card and Dad's Xmas cash. And I went to the photo department for printing out my digital photos in the computer. I had to limit 14 of those photos cuz of my personal budget. Those look great when developed. After that, I was so busy doing shopping. When I am done with those items, I went home.

About new light mirror, I like it very much. I really needed it to replace the old one I have in my bedroom. I use that old mirror in a long time since my maternal grandmother gave it to my mother for me, probably in 1986. My grandmother don't want to use it anymore. After I set up the new light mirror, I have a problem. The problem is that I can't plugging the mirror onto the outlet of my bedroom wall. It's behind my childhood desk. Because it's hard for me to reach. So I decided to call my mother thru a relay service and asked her for a help. She will come over to my place today when she can. I can't wait to touch the light!
That's it for now. Will SYL !

December 25, 2007: Christmas Dinner And Presents at Parents' House

Yesterday, Christmas Day, was wonderful. I had a good time. I got several Christmas presents from people I know.
On the Christmas Day predawn, I got up at almost 4:15 am. I had trouble sleep cuz I was so excited about Christmas. I tried to relax and sleep but can't. LOL! I felt like I am a kid all over again but almost. LOL! I went over to the computer desk in the living room for checking e-mails and looking at some websites included Y360 site. I decided to take a break from it at an hour later cuz I had other things to do in my apt.
I went to my parents' house for Christmas Dinner that afternoon. David stopped by to visit us. He brought some food and a bottle of an alcoholic wine with him. I had a salad and drink an non-alcoholic sparkling wine before David came to visit us. We had a dinner at the table together. David made a very delicious lasagna with cheese, sweet sliced potatoes, and dinner rolls that David bought himself. Yummy! The food was very good. I ate them all but cut off pieces of burned lasagna and drank one glass of an alcoholic wine. Whoa, I felt better by drinking it. It woke me up. LOL! One glass is enough for me. It included David and me only, not my parents cuz they gave it up anymore but they had it many years ago. Anyways, those pieces of lasagna looked black. Yuck! After dinner, we had 2 different kinds of pie, pumpkin and pecan. I chose a slice of pecan pie. Yummy! We opened our Christmas presents afterwards. I watched TV and then later on I went home.
About Christmas presents I got an easy made cookbook from Mom; smiley angel pin from Mom, beautiful Poinsettia plant from David (see a picture of it above under the tree); Santa Claus doll with little one from my mother's friend, Pat (see picture above); cute little angel, Wal-Mart gift card, new 2008 calendar datebook, gift certificate from PA Grandaunt Honey and granduncle Frank; one outfit from David; and an outfit and a framed picture from my mom.

December 26, 2006 Yahoo Blog: Christmas Dinners At My Parents' House. Tornados Hit My Homestate, Florida.

This picture of Christmas Tree took a place at my parents' house on Christmas Day 2004. Pretty, isn't it?

Hello, everyone!!!
How was ur Christmas? I had a wonderful time with my family last Sunday and yesterday. Last Sunday afternoon, Christmas Eve, I went over to my parents' house for our Christmas Dinner. Joe and David & Nhat were there. David & Nhat brought some great food, delicious sliced potatoes and lasagna. Yummy! I LOVE them very much. David made a lasagna himself. He's a terrific cook! We had a great Christmas dinner together. Afterwards, Joe, David, and Nhat helped decorating Mom & Dad's artificial Christmas tree. Thank God, it's about time. Joe bought 4 packages of new Christmas lights cuz my parents' Christmas tree is tall closing to the ceiling of their house. I took photos of it few time but these are not developed yet. I am planned to get them this weekend. Anyways, when Joe, David, and Nhat are finished decorating it, it's absolutely beautiful! Awwwww! Then we opened our Christmas presents together. I got 2 nice sweaters from my parents, a beautiful ornament of silver Christmas angel and Wal-Mart gift card from PA relatives, Great Uncle Frank & Great Aunt Honey. Ohhh, how Nice! Guess what I got from my sister-in-law, Nhat? A NEW MICROWAVE!!!!!!. I never thought about getting a new microwave but I figured my sister-in-law already knew what I need for Christmas. This is the BEST Christmas present I ever received in this year! After that we took a picture of us as family next to a Christmas tree. During taking a picture, David made me laughing. He's picky at my butt!!!!!!! I was standing behind him. After that, I took a back at him as David was about leaving with items. Got him! David laughed. I hi-fived Nhat. Yay! Then they went home. I stayed at my parents' house for awhile. I went home after 8 pm. Joe dropped me off at my apt.
See a picture of a new microwave I received for Christmas below:

I copied this picture from the website of Wal-Mart. That's what it looks alike I have now.

On Christmas Day, I went back to my parents' house again. Found out Joe is going to Christmas party at his friend's house. I heard there's issued a tornado warning on a local TV news. Oh, no, it shouldn't be ruining our Christmas Day. I don't want to hear that. Christmas Day should be a peaceful. While I was staying at their house, I noticed there's a heavy rain outside. OMG! We almost lost a power. Later that afternoon, I learned on a local TV news that said a tornado ripped off some areas of Daytona Beach, not in Ormond Beach where I am living in. We were lucky out of it. Thank God. I didn't know a tornado hit few counties in Florida until I watched the news. I can't believe what I saw on TV news. It said 3 tornadoes. 2 F2 and 1 0F. In Daytona Beach, apts were destroyed. I know that place. It's a south of ISB and a mall. It's also on Nova Road. Mobile homes flipped out and ripped off. I already know these mobile homes are not safe cuz a hurricane can be ripping them off easily. A part of Embry-Riddle University is damaged. Near there, DBIA, and DIS, small planes were destroyed everywhere. I know where that university is. It's a bigger. Police cars were damaged. See Feeds in my page and look up a source, WESH, a local TV news, please. This info will give u to find out what's going on in there. Anyways, back to my parents' house, we had a good dinner. While I am eating it, I watched a DVD movie, "Last Holiday", that my mother borrowed from a library with other DVD movies. That movie is good. After dinner, Mom went to work for taking care of an old lady. I watched TV. Later, Mom returned home. Mom opened a Christmas present from me. She was surprised to see a beautiful, pink sweater with colorful sequins. Mom forgets to open it up on Xmas Eve. Her reaction to that new sweater is she loves it very much, and it's a miracle! I am so relieved to learn that. I told her what happened at Sears in the mall 2 weeks ago. After that, I went home.

SYL!

Kitty's Christmas Stories in Yahoo 360 Blog December 24, 2006

Every Christmas in Pennsylvania, my family went to Grandparents’ 2 story house on Mosquito Valley Road for big Christmas dinner. Some tables and many chairs were set up for our large family in the basement, a big living room. Many uncles, aunts, and cousins were there. I dressed up pretty. A lot of FOOD!!! Several desserts! Yummy ! Cousins were playing around in the basement.
I was so sick one Christmas morning. I vomited a food on my grandmother’s purple couch in the family room upstairs at my grandparents’ big house when I woke up from a nap . Yucky! OOPS, it was an accident!
Christmas 1976
We had a snowstorm after Christmas while lived in Pennsylvania. It was awful. The heavy wind of snow blew my face softly and fast when my oldest brother, Joe, opened the door of my Dad’s car after we arrived to see and check out a new 2 story house. I sat in a front of the passenger’s seat. I was mad at him little bit for that. He had no idea! My parents were planned moving to another house, 2 floors, on a different street in another area in about a month. Anyways, I do recall the snowstorm kept continuing all day. Back at my parents’ townhouse, I can’t see anything thru the window of our living room on the first floor cuz the outside was so dark like a gray/white fog but I could see some fire trucks clearly with sirens on. I have no idea what’s going on outside in our neighborhood area .

Christmas 1978
Saw the first movie, “Superman” when it came out. My oldest brother, Joe, took me to see it during Christmastime. My mother was pregnant with David at that time. I can’t walk with a pair of canes due to hip surgeries. I sat in my grandfather’s reclining chair all day.
Every Christmas until I was 10 or 11, I visited Santa Claus at his house for taking a special photo of us together. With my oldest brothers few times until they quit when they get older.
Christmas 1981
As my family and I were living in California at that time, saw “Nutcrackers” in San Jose. It was a wonderful time. Saw David as a toddler meeting Santa Claus outside the big building and had a chat with him before we were heading for that big building after we arrived in San Jose. LOL!
Christmas 1985
In Florida since we moved there from Texas in that June, we were having a Christmas dinner together.
We spent a Christmas dinner together at my parents’ house every year since we moved to Florida.

Christmas 1989
Florida had been experienced a freezing weather. Few days before Christmas, my mother was hosting a Christmas party for her friends at the time the temperature was going down to 20s. Jacksonville got flurries on Christmas Eve so unexpectedly. On a Christmas morning, the temperature was 22 degrees. Wow! This is a similar to Pennsylvania. VERY COLD! Thousands of FPL customers lost a power but I think we were lucky to have a power on in my parents’ house. Florida residents can’t baking their Christmas turkey. I remember we were going to a Christmas party at the home of my mother’s friend but her friend’s Christmas Dinner was cancelled planning cuz one of friends of my mother’s friend had an accident and had to go to the ER right away. Then we went home early. I was disappointed little bit but I am okay.
Christmas 1991
I invited Todd, my then boyfriend, to our holiday dinners. 2 days before Christmas, he flew in to see me again from San Diego. I was happy and excited. Todd gave Christmas presents to us. He gave me a beautiful, knitted sweater with silver glitters and art knitted cats in it. I love it very much. I still have it in my storage box now. Along with a book, “Childhood”, by Bill Cosby. I was happy to receive them. I had a wonderful time with him.
Christmas 1994
I got a beautiful sweater and raffle bands for my hair from my then boyfriend, Todd along with a letter from him. Todd announced he’s coming to see me in the middle Feb 1995. I was so excited when I found out about it. That blue, red, and white sweater looks a shape of hearts. I figured it means a Valentine’s Day. I’ll never forget that gift. How smart Todd was! I still have it in my storage box now.
Christmas 1996
Went to a Christmas Party at Suzanne’s house in Port Orange a week before Christmas. Suzanne is an employee at my college if she’s still continuing her job there. She works in the Disabled Service Dept. We had a wonderful time. Uncle Dick and his son, Chris, and my oldest brother, Mike, were all came down to visit us at my parents’ house for our Christmas dinner. Uncle Dick is the brother of my mother. Good time.
Christmas 1997
Went to a Christmas Party at Suzanne’s house in Port Orange again a week before Christmas. I brought my then fiancé, Todd, there. We had a wonderful time. Saw a movie, “Titanic” with Todd at the movie theater on the weekend. It was very good. Whoa! Anyways, I just found out my grandfather in Pennsylvania is passed away 2 days before Christmas. I was stunned. It happened 3 weeks before my wedding. The family there wanted my mother flying back there for my grandfather’s funeral. My mother did but I did not. She was supposed to work on my wedding plans before our big day. At my parents’ house on a different street long before they are living in a current one, I got a big beautiful framed picture of garden surrounding the gazebo where the woman in her late 19^th century dress stood and overlooking a huge pond. I love it very much. Very beautiful. It was from Joe and his old girlfriend. Wow! It’s putting up onto the wall of living room in my apt now and above my daybed. Anyways, I also got a jewelry box and a movie tape, Xanadu, starred in by Olivia Newton-John from my then fiancé, Todd. Have u seen this movie, Xanadu? It’s very good. I will blog about it later.
Since I joined a deaf club in March 2001, GDBAD, my deaf club, is having an annual Christmas Party. The food is so DELICIOUS! Wonderful party.
Christmas 2004
I went over to my parents’ house for a Christmas dinner with Joe and David & Nhat. Good food. I got a beautiful pink sweater, pairs of earrings, and a skyblue jogging suit. Wonderful time.
Christmas 2005
Stopped by at my parents’ house for opening Christmas presents. I got a new purple robe, a book, a navy sweater with silver glitter Christmas trees and gemstones of star (I didn’t wear it much cuz Florida sometimes gets a warm weather during winter). That navy sweater was from Great Uncle Frank and Great Aunt Honey. Very beautiful. Afterwards, Mom, Dad, and I went over to David & Nhat’s house in Orange City. We were going to have a Christmas dinner together there. A lot of FOOD! Yummy! David & Nhat got a big Christmas presents from some of their relatives and friends: 2 beautiful lamps and a furniture. Wow! I got a Wal-Mart gift card from them.

Read an online article from USA Weekend Magazine: "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus"

Have u heard about a little girl named Virgina who wrote a letter to a newspaper editor in 1897? She asked an editor about Santa Claus in the letter. I have heard about this story and saw about it on Christmas TV movie years ago, remember that? Charles Bronson played a newspaper editor in it. Very interesting. Anyways, I read that magazine about it this morning. I would say "Wow!" In it, the magazine asked 3 newspaper writers about Virginia so they responded back to it for what they think of Virginia. Here is a link of USA Weekend Magazine article below for u to read:
"Yes, Virgina There Is a Santa Claus"
Here is a link of an original letter I found in Wikisource below:
"Is There a Santa Claus?"
There is also online bonus by USA Weekend: "Talking with Virginia's granddaugthers"
I found a website of National Christmas Center about Virgina and Santa Claus. Here is a link about this below:

National Christmas Center: "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus"

So, do u want to know who Francis Pharcellus Church, a newspaper editor, who answered a letter back to Virginia about Santa Claus? Here is a link about him below:
Francis Pharcellus Church
When I was a young girl in an elementary school, a teacher asked us to write a letter to Santa Claus. I did it once and asked what I want for Christmas. Did u, Y360 Friends?
That's it.

Greetings from Florida!

Entry for December 24, 2007

I went out with my mom last Friday afternoon. It was almost late. I returned to the brace shop cuz the brace on my right leg needed a repair. 2 pads kept coming off easily. They would hold up the brace when I am walking. Few months ago, the brace specialist found out my brace doesn't fitting me anymore due to a weight loss by illness and an exercise. My both legs skrunk to be thinning. I think I am about size 6-8, not size 12 anymore. Surprise, huh? I think the brace specialist's reaction was startled when he found out and he had to figure out how to repair my brace right away. He did. He put new pads onto the brace for me. Back to the brace shop last Friday, I walked up to the brace shop with a new walker that I got as an early Christmas present I was telling u about recently. I had to be careful when I stepped on the ramp and pushed myself up, not too hard. Mom helped and walking behind me so I won't be falling backward. Inside the brace shop, the brace specialist got an idea and nailed pads onto my brace so they would be holding up. He did. Finally. They work and still are holding up. Afterwards, Mom wanted to stop by at a thrifty shop for awhile and then to Publix to buy a dessert, a chocolate fudge cake, for that night after dinner.
I went over to my parents' house again after Publix that Friday night. Watched some movie cables like HBO, Showtime, etc. I don't have movie cables at my place cuz I can't afford them, u know. Lucky for my parents. Mom made a dinner for me. I ate a delicious cake. Ohhh, yummy! It tastes better than Wal-Mart. After watched a Christmas TV movie on channel 40, I went home.
Last early Saturday afternoon, I went to a library for borrowing DVD movies from there. Saw "Elizabeth I" on DVD yesterday. Queen Elizabeth I in 1589 is played by Helen Mirren who won an Oscar for her performance in "The Queen" last Winter, remember that? This "Elizabeth I" was made by HBO TV-series. Other 4 DVD volumes are PBS British TV miniseries called "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby", not those 2001 and 2002 films. Last night after I inserted 1st of 4 DVD volumes into the player of my TV set, I discovered it have no closed-caption (CC) on the list language and on the screen. I was in a disappointment so I took it out and put it back in the case of DVD right away. Minutes ago, as I was looking up at Wikipedia, I discovered this title have some different films. Hmmm. I would like try one of them if the library and CC have it, either 2001 film or 2002 film. I will see to that in the future.
I know this is Christmas Eve. I didn't go to the mall this month and buying anything for my family much cuz I am on the tight budget and the shortage. I did go to the mall last year at the time I had plenty of money. But I did buy 2 packages of Christmas cards for my relatives and some friends. That's all I have. I am disappointed but I am okay. Hopefully next year will better.

DVD: Movie: "Little Manhattan"

Last late Saturday afternoon at my parents' house, Mom and I watched a DVD movie together. It was called "Little Manhattan". It's a story about a boy, 10, who is in love with a beautiful girl, 11, very much. He has thoughts of her alot. I think he was about maturing but wasn't ready to be. He didn't know what to do with that girl. That girl is very smart. Both boy and girl could become a soon-to-be childhood sweethearts. It happened during late Spring. From now on, I can't give u more details but u will find out what's going on in that DVD. This movie reminds me of "A Little Romance", a 1979 film. Have u seen this 1979 film? That 1979 movie is a favorite of my hubby. I saw it on TV few times, not much, but it have no captions and I missed seeing parts of it. I remember years ago I purchased a movie tape, "A Little Romance", for my hubby as his Christmas present. It was my idea. I sent it to him with a receipt in the mail in case he didn't want to but I noticed there's no logo of "CC", meaning a closed-caption for deaf viewers. Later on he informed me he have to take it back with a receipt cuz that movie have CC. I already knew it. I tried my best to make my hubby happy. Someday, I hope I will purchase this DVD movie with CC for my hubby. I am recommanding this 2005 movie to u bloggers cuz it's very good and I love it.
Anyways, as I was watching that 2005 DVD movie, I am recalling I wasn't maturing enough to understand what's going on in the world when I was their age. I played with toys. I stayed home the most of time due to a disability. I had nothing to do during summer but I did go on an August vacation with my family in Texas where my father had a business. David was a baby at that time. I didn't know anything about boys until I got older.
Personally, Manhattan is where my father was born but grew up in Washington, D.C. and then later in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Slideshow of Kitty's Early Christmas Present: New Walker!

<------(Click this "View All Images", please, if u don't see slideshow in this blog.)
Let me u what happened unexpectedly. LOL! Last Saturday morning, Mother wanted me to go over to her house for helping to wrap Christmas presents for her. She knows I am a very good gift wrapper than her cuz she made a lousy on them and was not good at them years ago. Anyways, she informed me she had a surprise for me in the fax message before I came over there. Hmmmm. I have no idea what it was. When I arrived at my parents' house that Saturday morning, I was surprised to discover there's a Christmas present with a big red ribbon waiting for me. I said, "Is that my Christmas present?" . It turns out a new walker with 3 rollers and a basket! That was so unexpected! Wow! It looks like a new to me. Neat. I did try it out and practiced it. I felt comfortable with it. I walked with a new walker few times all day there. I can move it around easily than 2 different others. 2 different walkers were a difficult for me to move around. I hardly walked with those 2 others much. Today, I am walking with a brace on. Much better but I have to be careful. I hope an angel is watching me if I am home alone.

Photo of Agnes and Bonnie Christmas 2006

This is Agnes who is sitting in the wheelchair next to my mother, Bonnie, who is standing. I was telling u about Agnes yesterday. This photo was taken during Christmas 2006. Christmas 2006 could be probably her last. Agnes did make it to Thanksgiving this year when her children showed up to gather for visiting her but didn't make it to this Christmas. Agnes is the mother of Joan Ocean. See a photo of Joan Ocean and me below. That regular photo was taken 2 years ago at the time Joan was visiting her mother at the nursing home right after Hurricane Wilma left Florida quickly.





(I started this blog over again. I lost it twice. They disappeared when I clicked the post after I finished typing them. Groans! Thanks goodness, I copied this blog into my Wordpad in case the blog looks blank when it disappears.)

Entry for December 13, 2007

This is a battery backup surge protector. It was 2 years old I was telling u about yesterday.

Thank goodness, my computer is back on without a battery charger (see a pic above) this afternoon. My computer looks okay to me. No problem with it. My mother fixed it for me when she came over and brought an extra package of electric plugs. I can't do the work on it cuz I hardly reach to fix the plug due to my disability. Thanks to Mom. Whew! I can't live without the computer. Next year, I hope I will get a new laptop in case my PC breaks down again. I told Mom that in the fax last night. I can use a laptop for a travel, too. The protector is gone now.
Last Friday afternoon, I went to a city library in Port Orange. I looked at sales books there with my Mom but I didn't buy anything. And then went to a Card Factory where I purchased 2 packages of Christmas Cards. Those were cheap. I went to do a grocery at Wal-Mart afterwards.
On the way back to home from a trip to Wal-Mart, Mom said I looked sophisticated high society elegant, wealthy lady cuz of my hairstyle. LOL! She's so funny. Do I look like that? Maybe. LOL!
Last Sunday, I found out about an old lady named Agnes is passed away last Saturday night, a quarter to 7 pm. I was surprised. I didn't know that until that Sunday evening. Agnes was taken care and a client of my mother at the nursing home. I had known hearing many situations about Agnes since 2004. It's a long story. She was survived by 3 adult children. I think Agnes saw her children for the last time on the week of Thanksgiving when they are gathering on their vacation. They flew in from Hawaii, CA, and Dominican Republic to see her. Now, my mother have no job since Agnes died. I will post a picture of her and me in the next blog.
I went to a nursing home where Agnes was staying at yesterday for hearing a music by harpist/singer named Melody. We hired Melody to play a harp at my wedding almost 10 years ago. Yes, she's the same lady I was telling u about, remember that? Anyways, I heard her music is a wondeful. Took a picture of us when Melody finished her music. I will post it later. It looks perfect. U will see it.
Will SYL.

GDBAD Christmas Dinner Party 2007

Last Saturday night, I went to a deaf club at the nice building of Piggotte Community Center (<----click this link, please, for an info) in South Daytona Beach for a Christmas party and playing a game. That nice building fits me a comfortable to access in my wheelchair. I've never heard of that building before. It was named after "Coach" Joe Piggotte who became a Council member in 1984 and served as the Mayor of South Daytona from 1986 - 2005. He earned the affectionate name of "Coach" after leading two area high school basketball programs for 21 years. I also have never heard of this man before. He was probably living in that city for a long time before I moved to Florida with my family in 1985. Anyways, that newest building looks cool. The room where the party was held inside looks clean and huge. My bus dropped me off there that night several minutes before the party started. My hearing interpreter/friend, Nova, saw me arriving when she got out of her car and brought a woman named Sally who is a mental retardation and a deaf there. I know her little bit. She was a relative of my old counselor's husband. My bus driver dropped me off inside the center and left. I paid the party ticket at the table inside the big room. I brought a plastic bag of Chex Mix chips to the party. We waited for the dinner to start. I felt so starving. I can't wait. A deaf woman recognized me and said hi to me. She knew me from old deaf school days. She was my houseparent on the first floor of girls' dorm at Florida School for the Deaf (FSD) in St. Augustine for a short time. I was a teenager at that time. And other ladies who worked there for years remember me, too. They were at another table. One of them was my former reading teacher, Miss K (Todd, u know who she was, remember her?). She taught deaf students to read books. I told her my English skills were bad and screwing up until mine was improved when I went to a college. I think Miss K was glad to hear that. I learned that these ladies are retired now. After I chatted with these former FSD employees, we prayed first and then went to get our dinner at the buffet table. We did get our dinner. I ate a delicious and wonderful food. We chatted and laughed. I took some digital pictures. After dinner, we played a game but I didn't win that night. I am okay. I tried to get money for food and Christmas shopping. Anyways, I went home when the game is over. I had a fun time.

Mickey and Minnie are greeting "Happy Holidays" to all of you from Florida.
