Debs,

It's so good to hear from you again! How are you doing? How is Colin?

Send me an email to my personal address updating me of what you've been

doing when you get a chance, ok?

I'm doing fine, just some afternoon pains, but otherwise well for now. Busy

with the holiday and all my family is either here or arriving this week for the

holidays. I'm also now planning a wedding....my daughter was formally

engaged last night!

I hope you have a pain-free and joyous holiday season.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
