How did that time pass so fast. Here it is Christmas Eve & if it weren't for the frigid cold weather & icey streets I wouldn't believe that winter is already here. We've had quite an ice storm for the past few days & expecting more to come. I had a treacherous drive to the hospital (only 4miles away) for my final surgery for breast reconstruction on Friday. The surgeon said all went well. He took the bandages off yesterday. Now I don't need to go out in the cold . I can stay in & look out the windows at the ice & snow. I don't think I will build a snowlady like I did last year. I think I'll stick to indoor activities. I want to thank all my Red Hat Sisters for all of your prayers & encouragement this past year. I'm looking forward to a great 2009. I hope to see many of you at convention in Texas. L.U.L.A.S. & (((HUGS))) LouAnn
