Hello-

Just wanted to say hello to all 13 followers I have! Not much has been going on. Work is crazy, well the patients are anyway! We have been busy busy and since we will be off the last 2 weeks in December...just imagine the patients calling, stopping by and bugging us to get in before the Christmas break. Ughh here lately I just want to pull my hair out most days, so I haven't been on the computer much. Boy am I ready for the New Year and for a slow down.

Since we have been doing much of nothing, Sunday- Oscar wanted to go to Grapeland Drive Thru Safari in Grapeland, Tx. We went and it turned out that is looked cheesy but was so much fun. We got to drive through and feed the animals. There were zebras, goats, rams, water buffalo, pigs, camels, peacocks, cows, ponys and much more...It was cool. Pics soon to be posted when I am not so tired!!! Check back soon.

I will be giving special THANKS just for God letting me have all the great memories with him and for having had such a wonderful man as my grandfather.  I am ever so greatful and will miss him more and more everyday!  So here is to my Papa- I love you and Happy Birthday and Happy Thanksgiving.
