Hello, all - and wishing EVERYONE a happy & HEALTHY New

Hello, all....

Yes, I've been negligent... Yes, I've been scarce... It's been an odd several months, filled with all sorts of bizarre health issues, but none of them "directly" kidney related - per se, anyway... - med-related, yes; immuno-suppression issues, yes... BUT the old transplant is still going strong at 2 years+, and I'm not complaining....

I'm almost embarrassed to "show up" again after all this time, but please know that I have been checking the board every single day to see how everyone has been doing. I just haven't been "with it" enough to post myself, but I'm following everybody's "issues"...

For those of you who received holiday wishes from Hallmark that you couldn't open, I apologize. I send Hallmark things to my daughter Ryan (in the UK) often, and she has never had a problem opening them.... From what I gather now, tho, they didn't exactly "work" this Christmas... To Jim & Sue - it was cat stuff... Julie, it was a dog... Andy, etal - I don't even remember, but I scheduled them all to arrive on DEC 25... My heart was in the right place, anyway...

Ryan has a British Air flight tomorrow so she can get back to school in time to finish a paper due in a week - provided that the weather here cooperates (snow, freezing rain predicted here...) Cam is beside himself happy with his new Hamer guitar - if he & his 14/15 year-old co-horts could find themselves a 16+ year old with a driver's licence & a vehicle, they'd be off on tour already.... Meanwhile, I'm waking him up daily at 6:30AM so he can get to school on time... Mark is weary of the troubles in the Mid-East and would divest himself of all associations if he could, and I'm back to work after a lovely, quiet (but family-oriented) holiday break....

To those to whom I owe e-mails, YES, I will be in touch.... SOON - really! To Amanda, I still have your candy, and I REALLY am sending it. this week.. Jim, I have your kite - and yes, it won't be long... Hal, I've read ALL the books (everyone's!) & I'll be in touch soon... Andy, hang in there - you're super & the photos are fantastic! PLEASE stay with us.... Rach - you know, okay? Haven't forwarded the package but will do so this week.... Just didn't know whose address it was before, which may have been the problem.. RS - just get back on IM, will you? Old Borris - do you ever read your e-mail? And Julie - whoa... what a holiday, eh?

Love you all - and think of each & every one of you Every Single Day! (and that's the TRUTH!)

love,
Cheryl
