WELCOME WINTER - SPRING'S NOT FAR BEHIND!

Hello, friend (and relative/friend), and "Good day to you!".
I trust that "the holidays", whichever you celebrated, were
enjoyable and safe.  Ours were - quite!

Just a short note to check in and let you know we're still here.
It's very cold and white outside, but it's January in Pittsburgh,
so we can't expect anything different. 

Cindy got me a new computer for Christmas, which you may
have noticed, especially if you "follow" me on Facebook.
Been very busy enjoying my new "toy/tool", blogging,
posting, commenting, etc., in the effort to make a difference
in America and the world.  Prayerfully it's working.

My two younger ones made it in/over for Christmas, which
was GREAT!  Charles, formerly known as C.J., drove in
on Saturday and went back on Sunday, as
he had soccer, work, Kristen to go back to Harrisburg for.
Chartel managed to spend an hour or two on Christmas day,
having a late dinner and exchanging a few gifts.

Both are still doing well, PTL, though Charles needs to get
out of his mold-laden apartment in the Spring, when his
lease expires.  It's also cold, being on the third floor, and
has no TV hookup.  He's happy for his laptop computer
to keep in touch with family and friends.

Chartel is soon to transfer to another college, possibly a
Pittsburgh campus, to get her healthcare classes that she
can't get in Weirton.  That may mean that we'll get to see
her more often, hopefully.

Cindy is busy, busy, busy at the shop.  She (and Colleen)
had birthdays on New Year's Day.  Cindy joined me now
in the 70's range.  Colleen - can't remember her age, but
she's still young.

Now that my IBS is gone I'm fighting sciatica.  Physical
therapy is helping, but I still have moments of PAIN, so
I have to be careful not to "overdo" it, whatever that
means.  Will see a urologist on Friday to check on my
somewhat high PSAT analysis.  Nothing to worry about,
I don't think.

We went to a Pitt women's basketball game Saturday,
which they won in overtime.  FUN!  Then Greg got us
tickets to the Pitt men's game on Sunday, complete with
parking pass/shuttle bus!  They lost, but it was great to
be there supporting our Panthers.

I'm still working - 6 hours each Tuesdays and Thursdays
for now.  That's really enough, though may change at
any point, depending on truck schedule and everybody
else's schedules.  Oh well, at least it keeps me somewhat
busy.

Bill is "over there", and though I've tried numerous times
to call Colleen and the boys, failed.  I'm sure they're
plenty busy, what with Bryce wrestling, and Garrett and
Nolan involved in various school and other activities.
Keep check with things as best I can on Bill's Facebook.

Be blessed.  Be happy.  Be safe.  Be saved. 
We love you and are always happy to hear from you. 

HAVE A GREAT 2012, CINDY, CHARLES, CHARTEL, BILL.
