Anita, what a wonderful present for your husband's birthday.  Those hot stone massages are the best.  Hope you are feeling better soon.
I received my 'Seasons of Sweetbrier' today - what a beautiful book from a beautiful, creative man.
Still no snow here - we have set a record for the longest time between measurable snowfalls.  I can do without the white stuff - but would like a little for Christmas.

I'm just heartsick about the horrible tragedy in Connecticut - my prayers to all the families & friends.  There really are no words.  God bless us all.

[Thanks for starting the December thread, Susanne. I haven't been on here much - reading but not posting. Have been going through some health issues - nothing really serious, but pesky & drawn out. Looking forward to much better things in December & forward. I have gotten my house decorated over this past week and now I'm going to start wrapping presents. Mostly done shopping, so wrapping and baking over the next couple of weeks.So glad to see Harriet back - we missed you!Our weather is mild this weekend, but cooling off heading into the week. No snow yet - it really hasn't been cold enough. It can stay like this all winter as far as I'm concerned - maybe a little snow for Christmas.I'm going to order Alan's Sweetbriar book as a Christmas present to myself and it's a good cause.]

[Started my post and got kicked out of the Internet, so here I go again. The weather has been wonderful, temps in the 70's & we got some nice rain for a couple of days this week. This is when it is usually the hottest around here, but now we are setting record lows. Strange summer, after a strange winter. Looking forward to my sister's (from California) visit in a couple of weeks. It will be so much fun! Wish we lived closer.Not going to see Alan again this year - he'll be a couple hours away from me, but all my concert pals have moved away & I'm not one to go by myself. Please keep up the reviews - I enjoy them so much!]
