Hi Everyone!

Wow...it has been really busy around here....First everyone most likely already knows about the Freak Snow Storm that hit Westen New York last week.....everyone was hit really hard...our imediate area did not recieve but a little snow...everywhere else around us did along with some major damage...Thank God for all the help from National Grid and NYSCEC Workers and all of the Forestry Workers and the National Guard....for working night and day to restore electricity for some 300,000 people...and for the removal of all the downed trees.....and to think it isn't even winter yet!  My heart goes out to all of the families who lost a loved one during this time....if anyone is interested in seeing pictures of the storm you can click here...it will take you to one of Buffalo's News Stations Web Site (Channel 2 News) where they display photos that people have sent in from all over Western New York...

 My mom went into surgery on the 19th of October to have her vein in her right leg replaced....the surgery went well...she is in ICU for 24hrs. and then will be moved to a regular room to recup for 4 to 5 days...I ask for your prayers for her speedy recovery...Last night she was in alot of pain....My heart is with her....I couldn't get close to my mom yesterday before she went into surgery due to the fact I am sick...must have caught something the grandkids had....it really hurt not to be able to hug her and I could see the pain on her face cause she really didn't understand why....but the Doctor told her later that I was being very smart and careful....not to get her sick.....I did wear a mask when I went down to her house and all the way to the hospital.....The hospital she is in is a wonderful place...the nurses and doctors are terrific....I am so Thankful that she is in good hands...God Bless You All.....

Two Sundays before.....on October 8th (Mike & My 12th  Anniversary) I threw a surprise birthday party for Mike....We had a wonderful turn out and Mike had a wonderful time....I have never seen him smile so much....Thank you everyone for coming and sharing with Mike your presence was deeply appreciated as were all the gifts he recieved, more important the love which surround us all that day!  God Bless

Guess I had better go try and get some rest...gotta shake this bug....it really has a hold on me!

I hope your weekend will be a pleasant one and the week to come even nicer...Know you are all in my thougths and prayers...Take care and God Bless Everyone!

Much Love, Linda
