Met with girlfriends today. Both from Grace. The first gal I met in choir...and we did some wardrobe building together. That was fun...it had been awhile . Then popped over to another gals home for lunch. We met in bible study last spring. It was a lovely time...and you should hear this gal play the piano. She has a beautiful Yamaha grand in her living room and can she ever make it talk. She gave me one of her CD's. Can't wait to hear it.

Back in the groove in the morning. Up at 4:45 to work out before work.

So.........on that note...I'll say zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ....
Sweet dreams.
Love, Sue

I've been planning on updating my files and buying a filing cabinet. Popped into Staples after church and BINGO! On clearance is a file cabinet that looks exactly like it was made to match my bedroom set. Really...even has the exact same hardware for drawer pulls. It fits perfectly in the corner next to the desk that I fashion from drapes and a rectangular folding table. Very functional.

Spent the rest of the day sorting and filing...sorting and filing...sorting and filing. Ugh ! I hate paperwork...but it's getting there.

The Colts didn't win and the Golden Globes were canceled. Good Grief! What a day! The best part ...my calls from Bruce and DanaMarie . They're doing great. DMS is off this week...getting a much deserved rest. BPP is moving into a new office. I think Sis is on call tonight. Brian's busy at the office...and Aaron's counting down the days til he can return to Langley. We're still hoping for Jan. 30th.

Have a great week.
XOXOX..........Sue

Today was one of those wonderful days...you know, ...one of those rare days that you have nothing specific planned. What a gift. Love it. Looking forward to finishing my book.

Worked out...and received a call from Connie. She offered to come over and teach me to knit. What fun! ...even better than the knitting was the chatting. We had a great time and made plans to continue our chat next Wed.

Speaking of chatting...forgot to tell you that yesterday, I spoke with Bob and Rita Schelble. They are doing very well and are heading down this way. (Knowing that... a couple days prior, I had shot off an email and invited then to stop by 401.) Good News!...They called to say they are going to try and come. The drive from Wisc. to their condo in Alabama is 1200 miles(ugh!). Looks like they'll drive down...get settled and then pop over. Would love to show them HHI.

Also had a chance to talk with Cindy Elson. You see...I had placed an order at Femailcreations.com and goofed it up! Instead of heading to 401...it's headed to Alder Run Way. Oooooooooops! Called to warn Cindy. Sorry. (FYI...I had ordered two signs. One sign absolutely made me lol! It says..........."Who Fired The Maid?" Thought it would be perfect by the laundry. The other reads..."At the beach...time you enjoyed wasting, is not time wasted." by T.S. Eliot.) My mistake became a good opportunity to chat and get caught up....thanks so much, Cindy.

Also heard from Jamie. She called today. She's in DC doing research on her thesis. What a great young woman.... hope to see her when she heads down to Florida with her frisbee team in March.

It's quiet and peaceful at #401.
Have a good night.
Much love, Sue

Enjoyed my day off. Worked out...it's good to be getting back to my "new normal." Sore in the morning...for sure.

Nip and Nibble tonight 6-8 at the Shipyard Beach Club. As usual, the Harbourmaster group was the largest group. Tonight, we had 3 tables pulled together. Really lovely people.

Looked across the room...and thought.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm, that fellow looks familiar. Searched the data base...then I remembered. It was the doctor that Chris Murray introduced me to when she was here last year. He was Rich's best friend. His name is Dr. Dan Cevasco...he's in hospice and palliative care at Summa. Said hi,...and we went over and I reintroduced myself to his wife Connie. Connie's a knitter...and knows of a shop down here that has classes. The gals gather on Thursday night...sit around in rocking chairs and knit away. Hopefully, we'll get to give it a try. Will let you know.

Mitzi and Opal are on the couch with me...we're watching Remember the Titans. Great flick....definitely two thumbs !

Stay warm and have a nice weekend........
Much love, Sue

A beautiful day today. Sunny and Warm...but according to the news some of the bad weather is moving in. That reminds me...I need to learn about flood insurance. Have started that process. It seems I need to submit an elevation document to USAA.

In the midst of my day at TFM...received an order for two baskets. In order to customize the order, I always try and get as much info as possible ...what does the customer request???...who is it going to??? It seems this order was going to Hilton Head Med Ctr and was ordered by a lady who wanted to say thank you...catch this...to the ER staff that saved her husbands life. Say no more,kids...I got it!!! and rest assured.......she had two very nice baskets to take to the ER staff. It was fun to do them. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they opened those baskets in their "break room" (Some things will stay in my heart forever.)

Looking forward to days off and getting the finishing touches on post holiday catch-up.

Have a great day tomorrow.
XOXOXO.........Sue
