Whew! I came home from the grand hotel on Friday; bypassed my exit to our house, and straightway to the grocery store I went. Dollars later, I got home to my Sam and my animals. It was most satisfying to see them on Friday night.

I have almost all my cleaning done the way I want it. I am taking a break to say hi to you folks and tell you that I have missed you so. My two-week training was intense, and I finished up with my certificate. I am nervous and anxious as well, to learn more about the history making I will be a big part of in the mental health system of this state, and nationwide.

So you all know, I was unable to read your blogs while I was at the grand hotel. I think I may have told you this last weekend. I will be playing catch-up with you for the next week or so. I hope your little corners of the world are happy places tonight, and I will chat with you soon after Santa makes his visit......Ho, Ho, Ho...and to all a goodnight...
