I know how busy you are, so I didn't want to burden you with correspondence. I'm happy to reply now that I know you are anticipating it.<br /><br />What a terrific gift for your daughter!

I answered your fire email, but didn't hear anything back. In that email, I went into great detail! Let me know if you need me to resend it!<br /><br />We actually just came back from Vegas, because we are heathens. We left on Christmas Day after opening presents in the morning and surprised my daughter, who has been wanting to stay in a hotel for forever.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604097511444010759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-34742729283337008812017-12-27T13:10:31.626-05:002017-12-27T13:10:31.626-05:00Denise Fortney--Brrr!

We have been enduring this polar vortex as best we can (Dearest Canadians: Thank you, but really, you shouldn't have. Please do keep this weather for yourselves.). The cats keep sitting in front of the empty fireplace and looking over their shoulders with such baleful and downright impatiently irked expressions. <br /><br />Trying not to sit too much is almost a job in itself.
