THIS better not happen again this year...!

Christmas 2010

Even the poinsettias were feeling blue, stuck in a hospital for the

holidays.  Fortunately, Julie survived the ignominy of having to

wear an immodest gown with flimsy rear-closure and the uncertainty

 being in the clutches of a mysterious infection whose timing

 could not have been worse....

As for 2011?  Keep your fingers crossed, one and all!
