12/24: Talked to Jim & stepmother Shirley. Cammie is having a baby in February. "Mom" got her Christmas Candy.

Called Bobbie. She's having a PET-Scan Thurs. Chemos are finished. She recommended DanActiv to help boost immune system. Yogurt section in stores.

12/25: Matt's son John turned 35 today. It sent Matt into a long "remembering" re: the Korean war & how he survived.

Call from Yvette. Maya was chased & hurt by a raccoon.

Very quiet day in the neighborhood.

12/26: Call from Courtney & Em.

12/27: "Happy New Year" in Spanish is "Prospero Ano Nuevo". It's for our neighborhood landscape maintenance man. Works 2 hrs twice a month. Speaks no English. He has a wife and 2 daughters in Mexico. Matt talks loud and gestures a lot-- and learns a word or two every now and then.

Spent time on Kathryn Cassidy's site.

"Ask, Believe, Receive" ... 04/08/07. Gordy was good at that one.

My thoughts after reading hers: "Attend to Intent" Like Focus.

A call from "Mom". She was nicer than usual today. It was Johnny's birthday. Tomorrow is Gary's. JoAnn & boys had visited. She liked the candy.

12/28-29: Packed a lot of TBCOA papers into big plastic containers. Trying to lighten the load in my poor little office.

12/29: Emailed Rita again. Got a quick reply.

Saw Yvette. Her house looked nice with the Christmas tree up & the kitchen table in place. She was very concerned about Sweetpea, John's old cat that will be 17 in March if he makes it to his birthday. Sweetpea is always hungry & is very skinny. The photo I took of Sweetpea a couple of weeks ago is at the top.
