That's what amazes me about Frankie - he took what happened to him and turned it around into something positive. <br /><br />I can't wait for him to share his story on my blog post next month. I know you guys are gonna be in AWE of his positive outlook on life. <br /><br />"Love the pic of you with the piano. What a shame you didn't follow that particular career path - I'D have come to see you!"<br /><br />Aw.....thank you. But who knows, I just might return to the stage - if I can ever find those skates - HA!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Jay!

I'm hoping that the next four days goes as well.<br /><br />Can you believe Christmas is in FOUR days?!?!??!<br /><br />Meeting both Frankie and Dianne this month has truly been a great highlight for me this year. BOTH are AWESOME people! I know you guys are gonna love meeting Frankie and hearing what he has to share. And meeting Dianne was such a HOOT! She's everything and MORE that I imagined. We spent the day talking up a storm, like old friends.<br /><br />"It has been sooooo busy here with fixing up the kitchen and getting ready for all the holiday celebrations and the shopping, wrapping, etc.'<br /><br />Hope all is going well with you kitchen makeover. I can't WAIT to see your photos of the finale!<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by, my friend, and for your sweet words. Just know how happy I am to have met you through our blogs.

I recently purchased a few new things for our tree and one of them were teal colored balls with a little metal spiral at the bottom to attach a photo. I have only 4 of them right now but if they have them on sale after Christmas I might get more for next year.<br />I'm glad you are doing well at work, busy but not crazy!! And how wonderful that you got to meet both Frankie and Dianne! That's awesome. I can't wait to read more about him. <br />It has been sooooo busy here with fixing up the kitchen and getting ready for all the holiday celebrations and the shopping, wrapping, etc. Can't believe the end of another year is almost here.<br />I'm very glad to have gotten to visit with you here and read all the assorted posts and am thankful for you stopping by and visiting me too. Your comments are always so warm and friendly. Love that!! <br />Thanks for the Merry wishes and *raising a glass of red wine to you* I send them good wishes right back.
