Laurie - We're big fans of Netflix in my family! I especially enjoy finding a TV series I may have missed and then having a marathon watching the old seasons. :) Hope things work out with lots of gift cards that add up to a new television!!

Re: Hot Zone (7:14pm December 1, 2011):

XXOO! Bless you, Peggy, for the sweet comment about my photo!! I actually struggled with getting a professional photo done - disliked all the results. Then I *had* to have a new photo made last year, so I asked my youngest daughter to take photos - she told me to sit down, right then, and she took a bunch of photos, no prep (and no expense!) They are my favorite - I think it's because she saw me with eyes of love! And yes, I am so very proud of my kids!!

Re: Hot Zone (7:11pm December 1, 2011):

Linda, I agree the expressions on children's faces make the holidays all the more special. :)

Re: Hot Zone (5:15pm December 1, 2011):

Re: Hot Zone (2:31pm December 1, 2011):

Carla, it sure is tough having family live far away - that's one of the parts of Air Force life I have not enjoyed - always being so far from loved ones. Luckily, everyone's good about traveling. Still, being able to meet up for an impulsive lunch would be nice!

Re: Hot Zone (2:29pm December 1, 2011):

Sue, I really, really hope you get that Kindle! I love mine! It's an earlier version, but still ROCKS!

Re: Hot Zone (2:29pm December 1, 2011):

Thank you, Nancy!!! XXOO!

Re: Hot Zone (2:28pm December 1, 2011):

Re: Hot Zone (2:27pm December 1, 2011):

Barbara, our kids are close to the same age! (Mine are just a couple of years younger.) I adore jelly beans - Jelly Bellies especially11

Re: Hot Zone (2:26pm December 1, 2011):

Connie, each year at Christmas my family does a really tough jigsaw puzzle together. We set it up in a corner and work on it the whole holiday. One year we had a Ricky Martin puzzle - my sister in law and I put together his hips first. ;-)

Re: Hot Zone (2:24pm December 1, 2011):

Elizabeth - I looooooove my Kindle! Happy shopping!

Re: Hot Zone (2:24pm December 1, 2011):

Hi Pam! Hugs to you and your nephews! My nieces & nephews live far away - I especially miss them at the holidays!!

Re: Hot Zone (2:23pm December 1, 2011):

Felicia - My family is like you - we have LOTS of books & music on our lists. :)

Re: Hot Zone (2:22pm December 1, 2011):

Hi April - Hugs on your father's health worries! I hope both of your wishes come true!!

Re: Hot Zone (2:21pm December 1, 2011):

Hi Maureen - I completely agree the holidays are best enjoyed when we decrease the stress - it's about the people, not the stuff & mayhem!!
