Oh,
Twins' Mom, I can understand having some stress with what you're preparing for right now, but the food sounds great! DH and I love Kosher hot dogs and I love Kosher pickles.

I bet Challah with Lasagne is great, too.

All my best to you as you get ready to host this event for everyone. I bet it'll be fun and once it's done, you'll look back with a "Whew!", but you'll be surprised as how well it went, too. You'll do fine..... Does your Dsis have water back? Hope so! I know the inconvenience, as it happened to us in Dec.
I feel like I've spend the afternoon with you,
Harriet! 
I synced my FOCUS calendar with my email one!

I'm so impressed how this will simplify my life, will get certain closets, rooms done, which go unnoticed, until the last minute- if at all.

It's amazing how the year goes by, I look forward to outdoors work, and now I'm so excited for the New Year- ALL year, and then looking into planning for 2015, at the end of the year. I think the Thanksgiving and Maintenance times will be so nice to trek through, too.
Sadie, I PM'ed you. I forgot to tell you that. Where's my mind?
I'm drying flannel sheets, am washing towels, and then laundry will be done. Need to MT the DW, too.

I want to take FOCUS ideas for freelance writing work, make a FOCUS calendar for that, based 1st of all, on deadlines, so this will be fun to try. Also, rather than focus an entire week on one item, I think I'll have specific days of the week where I do 1 or 2 specific things during that day, to keep on track.

Having a day runner, email calendar, helps ease things so well.
We actually have sunshine here, it's very cold, but uplifting, and looks like the world's in a "Happy Mood." A dfriend of mine told me her son, when he was 19, got his head scalped on a swimming slide, so when his hair grew in,it grew in grey at age 19. My driend's 74, has naturally brown hair, no grey because in her family there is no greying, so she and her DD's have brown hair, but her DS has grey and has for 40 years now. I believe he's 53 now. I thought how unglued I'd have been to see my DS scalped. It'd make a terrific short story for a teenaged girl, who overcame her long hair growing back in grey.
My RI dfriend has 12" snow, a heated dog kennel, and they kept their electricity. I checked up on her, wondering how she was. It was 0* this a.m. heating up to 28* today. I have dfriends in colder parts of the country and a blogger writing friend in MN, so her blog posts are very interesting. It's cool, dry, and sunny here, but started out with heavy freezing fog.
I hope
K & K have a wonderful cruise, too.
