Merry Christmas!

I know it has been awhile, I have been having major technical issues and I have been waiting for my technical support to come into town. Unfortunately they are located in Toledo, Ohio and don't seem to make it here often. But today, as promised they showed up and have somehow...without any work...has fixed it!!
This is a photo of Hazel just after her surgery in October. She had just come from recovery and was SO out of it. I cannot explain the emotions that came over me when we saw her safe and sound again. It was a long day of waiting for us. After this picture, she began her recovery like a real trooper. She was eating and drinking very quickly without becoming sick, and that was very important for her to do so that she could come home. She ended up staying only 1 night in the hospital, when the dr. had told us to plan on 3-4 nights!!

this is a test, and only a test

i wondering the other day, how do other people make their blogs so nice and pretty with all those pretty pictures? So i have employed my family to help me make my blog pretty. here goes nothing!
