What I almost got for Christmas


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!  I picked my sister up at the airport on Friday night and Saturday morning we headed to my Mom's house.  We spent Saturday and today eating, watching movies, eating, talking, eating.....and more eating.  I definitely need to get back to Weight Watchers after this weekend.

The best present was being able to spend time with my family.  Mom pulled out a couple of old photo albums when Dad was in the army during WWII and Mom had just graduated from high school.  Those photos are priceless.  I'll have to post a few here when I get them scanned. 

So on the way home tonight I almost got another present.  Lou and I hadn't been on the freeway for long when I saw flashing lights behind me....OH GOD....I looked down at the speedometer and I was going 80.  I wasn't paying attention and it is so easy with the cars these days to go fast and not realize it.  The officer was very nice....he reminded me that the limit was 65 and I apologized and told him it just "got away from me".  He took my license and told me as long as it checked out he would let me go with a warning.  Lucky for me that he had the Christmas spirit.  And I heard him exclaim as I pulled out of sight....try to keep it under 90 mph.  LOL....he really did say that.

I put the cruise control on the rest of the ride home.

You are very lucky. He could probably tell that you were being sincere. Or maybe a little help from Santa!
