<DIV>Sam(antha) and the not wannabeez, along with their Mom, me, want to wish
everyone a Happy New Year!!!</DIV>
<DIV>To anyone, and everyone, who has written to me in the past few weeks and
didn't hear back from me, sorry about that. First the ice storm cometh,
fun stuff. (Welcome to New England, where for some reason this took people
by surprise.) Then the recovery from said storm. (Read previous ( )
comment) Then Christmas and now New Year's. And I have something
like 20+ drools to read. I at least have something to look forward
to. :o)</DIV>
<DIV>Oh, and a comment about the on her way to senior status Sam. She now
will not eat her carrots unless they are peeled, thank you very much. She
at a few peeled this afternoon, then I got lazy and gave her one with the peel
still on. Still took it, dropped it, and gave me "that" look. You
all know that look. She then walked away. She didn't come back until
dinner was done and she could have left over roast and cooked carrots.
She's a tricky one.</DIV>
<DIV>Ahroohs to all</DIV>
<DIV>Lori...a mom to many</DIV>
<DIV>Sam(antha)...what? I have to eat the peels?</DIV>
<DIV>Tater & Hazel...the not wannabeez....we never take the vegies, only the
roast. Well, ceptin for Tater, he likes him some peas.
