Thanks Debbie for the Birthday Wishes. I am doing pretty good, except for my depression. I have alot of so-called mental issues. I just need to learn to relax more and stop worrying. How was your Christmas and New Years? I have to say this was one of the bests Christmas I have had, especially being a first time Grandma. It has been pretty cold in Ohio. The last three days has been in the 40s. I read that there is a big flu outbreak :( Be safe. Take care, Crystal
