Sorry that I have been slow to respond to some of you.  Been having computer problems and a few other issues have come up.  Lately my annual Christmas letters have seemed a bit boring, so this year I wrote a quick poem instead.  So I offer it up here to all my forum friends.

 MY CHRISTMAS LETTER

Another year older, a few wrinkles more
Some extra grey hair, more joints that are sore
My life has not changed much, it's mostly the same,
I'm still waiting patiently for 10 minutes of fame.

Lucky for me, I still love my job
Although the paperwork can cause me to sob
My parents are healthy, as best as can be
Considering they are older than me.

My house is still standing, no fires laid it low
Although the clutter is causing me woe
The demented dog rules, he's crazy as ever
Sometimes he brings me to the end of my tether.

I still support soldiers, I guess way too many
And sometimes it costs me a pretty penny
But I'm thankful for all they are giving to me
We're lucky to live in the land of the free.

All in all, my life is just grand
I have friends and family who will give me a hand
So thanks to you all, for all that you do
May you have many blessings and happiness too.

I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season.  Thanks for all that you are doing for our troops and for your friendship.

Kathy

I love your poem. It seems we have more in common than just our names.

Thanks for the smile.

Christmas blessings to all of you!

Kathy

Wow nice poem, sounds like you wrote it yourself! Thanks for supporting those troops as well. Merry Christmas to you too! :) From southern Illinois....

So true....for all of us... great poem. Happy holidays!

My Dear friend,
