HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERY ONE!

I have so many things to be thankful.  My health is still good, I am working and love every moment of the day.

I went to Church with a friend, we had breakfast at the beach after Church and I am now enjoying a few quiet hours in my office.

No family thing this year.  My son, Todd, and his wife are anxiously awaiting a telephone call from my granddaughter, Tyler, who joined the Army a few weeks ago.  She will be home for Christmas.  Todd will deliver a plate of turkey and all the trimmings to me later this evening and tomorrow I am having lunch with my daughter, Tamara, who had a birthday on Tuesday.  She is cooking ham and she will send me home with a plate of goodies tomorrow.  I won't be hungry this weekend.

I spent last week "on the road" for business travel in San Luis Obispo, Oxnard and Burbank.  Driving the coast was beautiful next to the ocean.  Next week I fly to Mesa, AZ for a 2 day business trip.  First week of December, I am in San Jose, Monterey, S SFO, Rohnert Park and Pleasanton.  I love to travel even if it is business related.

My friend, Lynn, and I are planning a trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica, next May,  I am waiting to find out when my granddaughter graduates from her job  training so I can attend her graduation.   I won't be able to attend her graduation from Book Camp in February because I can't leave the office but Todd and Bernadette, of course, will go.

I hope to get back to Iowa sometime next year.  Will try to coordinate with your monthly lunches.

Who's playing w/matches in Ft. Madison?? Hope they catch them soon.....

Martha Waters (Krueger)

Hello, I had a good Thanksgiving with my family in FM.  Just returned to the Ozarks this afternoon.  I ran into Sharon S. 2 days ago downtown and chatted a while.  I told her that I was going back home sooner than I expected so that I won't be going to the luncheon with the gang Friday.  I will miss seeing you all.

My sister, Paula Sue Waters, and I ate lunch at the Palms to try out the lunch menu--it was delicious.  Try the french fried sweet tatas.  And some kind of beef wrap.

The reason I left FM earlier than I had planned is cause my brother, Dan Waters, said he wanted to come down here tomorrow to work on the list of 14 things to do that I have built up in 16 months time.  Without a man, and without being able to find a handy man down here who can do roofs, carpentry repairs, chipmunk trapping, burn barrel empyting, pulling out fridge to clean, etc, etc, I did not want to miss him coming down.  :) 

So while we work you enjoy, hope you all enjoy your luncheon; will be thinking of you.

HEY MARTHA.....sorry you won't make it to the luncheon. We just spent some time in the Ozarks a couple wks. ago. We love Branson and Larry has a nephew who has a place at Sunrise Beach. I love it down close to Eureka Springs, the rolling hills are so beautiful. Hope you can make it another time for a luncheon, we always have a good time. Take care and hae a blessed Christmas & good New Year.....Linda Lu

Martha Waters (Krueger)

Yeah, I saw that you had been down in my neck of the woods.  I like Branson, but I go so often to Silver Dollar City that I only get a year's pass every other year, but it always comes with five free guest passes.  I hope to go after Dec. 1, so I can take my one last guest before I go to CA for a few weeks thru the holidays.

Hopefully, another time I will be in FM when you have a luncheon--maybe next summer.  :).

Sandi Thompson (Philips)

Thanks for the birthday greeting, Linda. It would be great to be back in Nashville - especially today. It would have to be warmer than here. 

I hope that everyone has a fantastic holiday season!  In fact, make it your best one yet!

Sandi

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Sandi.....Nashville does sound good, doesn't it...such good memories of our trip this summer. We're just going to have to definately do it again. From the sounds of it, there are a few others who'd like to join us next time. You know what that means.....have to get MORE dress-up clothes!!! Goodwill, here we come.....

Me again.....my husband had knee replacement today in Hannibal, MO. Surgery took about an hour, and he was up walking this aft. and is to come home tomorrow. Next step is therapy. God is good!!!

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

OK...I missed the last luncheon this year. I wanted to go but the cold weather w/the snow just made it not that desirable. Husband got therapy also today. Just stayed home and got some cleaning & laundry done. Hope everyone had a good time w/out me. I need someone to write on here and let me know who all was there and what the latest news is w/the class. I missed seeing my classmates.

Hope everyone has a very BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR.....

Linda 

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Hey there Linda Lu: We did miss you and we talked about you! The girls attending were Bonnie Escman, Mary Mendez, Sally Morton, Karan Kreighbaum, Georgia O'Donnell, Linda Hayes, and me. It was great food and good conversation. We are meeting at the Ivy on January 25th at noon. Come one come all. Love you and Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy New Year.

I also want to wish anyone and everyone reading this a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year too. Please write on this message forum. Linda and I get tired of writing all the time. Take care!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is not real sunny in "sunny" CA today.  We have had rain and I can see snow on the mountains.  It is brisk outside - 59 degrees!

My family celebrated on Sunday.  It was a lovely day.  We are so blessed to have my granddaughter, Tyler, home on leave from the Army.  She really likes the Army..  Today is my day to catch up on some work at the office before I take off again on January 1 for seminars in Northern CA.

Went to Church last evening and relaxed at home.

Wishing everyone the warm feelings of the Christmas season.  Hug someone today.  Life is precious and be thankful for all your blessings.  Count them everyone!  God Bless!

So sorry to hear of the loss of Kay Womack's husband Reuben Kristianson passed away. My sympathy goes out to Kay and their children. Will keep you all in my prayers.

Linda N. Schrader

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Hi Linda:  I think the luncheon is the 25th and I am sorry but I can't remember where. I am sure Karan Faul will let you know.  Will I see you at Reuben's visitation on Friday or the funeral on Sat.? Happy New Year to you and Larry. Sharon

Sandi Thompson (Philips)

Does anyone have Joe Roberts address?  I sent a sympathy card to the address on the profiles and it was returned.

Hope that everyone has a great 2013!

sandi

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Sandi: You can go on to Classmate Profile and click on Joe Roberts and there is his address. You can also email him from that page. Good luck!

Sandi Thompson (Philips)

Sharon,

That was the address I used.  I guess I will have to e-mail him.  Thanks!

Kay Marsh (Eaves)

Linda Lu, I pray that everything went well yesterday with Larry. You both are in our prayers and thoughts. Take care and be strong. Love you. K
