Christmas Memories 1997 - 3 Photos

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share some more Christmas memories. These photos are from 1997. See if you can figure out how old you were at that time. If you can't, you can't do EASY math - that is for sure (considering it is 2007.)

The maid came today. She comes one more time before Christmas. I don't know if she is an illegal or not. I go by the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. I believe it is the government's job and has been the government's job to figure out who is legal and who isn't, not mine.

I am tired, so I am going to rest before I cook dinner. Yup, I am cooking. Actually, I am warming up some quiche we had from last night. It was really good.

Love you guys,

Mom and Patti

Book Fair & Mom's Health Tip

Mom's Health Tip:

Many young adults stop going to the dentist in their 20's because they're moving around a lot, don't have dental insurance, have a tight budget, and are just generally busy enjoying life. By the time they make dental care a priority again, usually in their early 30's, it's often because an emergency has forced them to think about their mouths again. By the time it hurts, a lot of damage can be done-expensive damage.

An ignored cavity can lead to an infected nerve, root canal treatment, and a core and protective crown for a total of $2,200 treatment costs for JUST ONE TOOTH (and you've got 28 teeth, even if you've gotten your wisdom teeth removed). Now that really hurts!

Kids, be sure you keep up with your dental cleanings and checkups EVERY SIX MONTHS!

You know if I am talking to you.

Love you guys,

Mom

Christmas 1995 Pug Memory

Hello,

I just wanted to post a memory from 1995 to keep you guys going in the Christmas spirit!

I received a Christmas card from Jane Turner today. She said that Laura and Matt's parents moved (close to Humble, I think.) She said Laura is getting ready to student teach near there, and she asked for prayers for Matt since he is in his second tour over in Iraq now.

I will post some book fair pictures sometime this week. We are having the book fair and wassail party tomorrow in the library.

I received an invitation to Ashley's graduation which is Friday, December 14th.

She is having a luncheon in her honor that Friday after her 9:00 a.m. graduation. I would like to go, but I am supposed to present at our library meeting at THS in the afternoon. I might try to take off though to go. I will have to see.

Well, see ya later.

Love you.

Mom/Patti

P.S. I went to the Bombay "Going Out Of Business" sale tonight. There was nothing that I could see that I wanted there.

Hey Johnny and Danielle - I talked to Ms. Gossett today. She said she is leaving teaching at the end of this semester. She said she just can't do it anymore. She is only 48 and said she had 13 more years until she could retire, so she said she couldn't go that long.
