Dear Diary, well our holiday was a quiet one. my husband came down with gout, which became very painful. We spent several days going back and forth to ER. Not to be out done, I ended up with severe leg problems that kept me from walking. 

On the bright side, I was able to spend more time cross stitching.)
 I also had some very helpful people from church that stopped by.

Unfortunately The weather in North Texas has been very cold and miserable However my children had a lovely time even if we did not. Between Church festivals and pageants, they were  kept  busy. 
I am not fond of cold weather and will look forward to  spring. I will especially look forward to the warm weather of South East TX.
