DR Ron - is the camera for your Mom a surprise? Do you have to keep yours "under wraps" until she opens hers?

DR Ron Pulliam - no, didn't get as far north as Rodeo Drive!

Speaking of tombstones....

Keith asked me when I'm going to clean up the clutter on my desk. I said "I made a big dent." He looked at me & said he is putting that on my tombstone.

Well, what the....?

You didn't go looking for swimmin' pools and movie stars?

Shucks!

Is Keith buying this tombstone in advance?

I'm going to be taking photos like crazy during my trip home.

I 'spect there'll be some old tombstones among them, plus some family gravesites, as well. My mom, my aunt and I make the rounds placing flowers on the graves during the holidays.

I like that. It has been awhile since we have made the rounds. We follow the Jewish tradition of leaving stones at the graves.

Yes, it's a total surprise. No, I'm not hiding mine away. I plan on using it all the time between now and Christmas.

My mom thinks that the printer/scanner I ordered and sent her back before Thanksgiving is her Christmas gift. That and the candy she expects I'll be giving her.

I'm not going to make a huge fuss about my camera. But if she asks about it, I'll tell her how simple it is, and show her how to use it if she wants to take some pictures. I'm taking my disc along so I can download it on her computer to accommodate my photos. She is also getting an 8X10 digital picture frame for displaying her favorite photos.

What is the significance of the stones? And do you expect them to be there when you return?

I recorded "Bones" last night...and was delighted a while ago to discover it was last year's Christmas show. It's quite atmospheric and I was glad to see it again.

Jane · « **Reply #283 on:** December 12, 2007, 06:57:02 PM »

If I hadn't broken my wrist I would have made Chanukah cookies this year. They are just rolled sugar cookies cut out with Chanukah cookie cutters with blue & yellow sugar sprinkled on top. They are very tasty.

I doubt I'll be doing much, if any, baking for Christmas. I told my brother I won't be sending our mother's fudge this year. We both agree we don't need it but I just like the tradition of making it. I really don't eat much fudge anymore & my brother eats it all so he doesn't want any-lol.

Time is passing more swiftly now. I'm an hour and a half away from waiting outside for my shuttle.

And I'm so READY!

My iPod shuffle STILL hasn't charged. That little orange light just keeps blinking away.

I've never used this before, so I'm guessing I waited too long or something. I know there's music on it. And there was a small note that the battery recharges have a limited duration and may have to be replaced by a professional.

Lord only knows where I'd take this little thing to get a new battery installed.

I can't remember, I'll have to look it up.

I don't expect the stones to still be there

. It is possible my parent's are. Sadly I haven't been in awhile. They are both in mausoleum’s, or as I call them-drawers. Since there isn't any ground there is are vase holders on the wall. I placed stones from home in vases along with matching artificial flowers. Last time I checked they were still there. I’m the only one who goes & has ever gone to their graves. My sister went once to my mother’s, the day we chose a spot close by for my father.

I'm the only one of the "kids" on my mother's and aunt's side who cares anything about the family plots. I don't know if any of them will ever care about our grandfather's/grandmother's and great grandfather's/great grandmother's plots after my mom and aunt are unable to do it. I am pretty sure my mom instilled a sense of "family obligation" to tend to these graves, but I think she'll be satisfied if I just care for hers and my father's.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #289 on:** December 12, 2007, 07:11:27 PM »

All right. I'm too pooped out to type more today.

It's time to calm my nerves and make a final check of things before leaving.

See y'all when I'm on the other side of the U.S.A.

Jury duty for a dental appointment? D'ya think it'd fly?

If you explain that you just had oral surgery and need to go to the follow-up I'm sure you could reschedule. That IS what you want, isn't it?

It is nice the doctor's office sent me the form to fill out before my next visit. Usually I have to do it in office. I think I'll copy this one and save it for future reference. These forms always ask the date for everything. I can't remember this stuff without looking it up.
