OK! Where is everyone???

Wow!...you guys...hot flash supreme last night at 1 am in the morning..and my skin was red all over being on fire...not sure what "hit" me for this to happen....to old for female type stuff...anyway...it kept me up...so I'm an bit without sleep today also....Got to go an take my heart meds though yet this day. Did some computering last night and came across some interesting information also on the Reed family of my mother's...they were indeed in the Masonic Lodge also so then I checked out the Blanche' family that Benjamin Franklin's daughter married and her mother Debra Read.  I have always felt that I look just like Debra Read now. Found quite an few cross marriages in the family relationships. John W. Read must of been the first to introduce being married 5 times into the family...my aunty Donna..now long departed had about that many hubby's...though she started off rough in World World II...with husbands, couple never came back...she had an few she married for well over 20 years. Such is the fate of life I suppose. It is strange what your compelled to do in the wee hours of the morning "crimson" red from inside out. But gosh..all the presents are wrapped now and not much else to do..will be busy soon though...I can't EVER think of an Holiday I've had as laid back and quiet for the most part...maybe I need it. Later...

Good evening everyone !  It has been a busyh day around here today and am glad to kick the shoes off and relax for a bit. Poured a glass of wine and going to relax. Actually....truth be known...if I have a glass of wine...my legs are gone...lol...so relaxing is the best thing. It's horridly cold outside and have been out in it doing what must get done for family. Am the family' gopher' for all the family older than me...lol..which right now is 100% LOL...and I don't mind at all...but would like the temps to warm up just a wee bit....OK done being a whiney one....will kick back, relax and enjoy your company....

let the games begin! 

Hugs all

Ready...........

Steady....................

GO..............................
