Hubby is feeling better!!!!

Every year on new years night we invite everyone over for dinner and games.. This year Norm said he wanted to make dinner and he wanted to make lasagna. i said ok... less for me to do i was happy... well after his surgery i did not think he would be up to people coming over let alone doing the cooking.. well he surprised me... he made the lasagna all by himself except for lifting the pot of noodles... i cannot wait till tomm night it looks deliscious. i made dessert... i made a sweet as kisses pie... and a lemon layer cake... from scratch...
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

He got to the er at 6:30 am and did not get to a regular room until 5 pm... around 12 noon they took him out of the ER room and put him in a hallway because they were sooooo full.. He was sleeping peacefully when i left around 6ish... we did not even open any gifts . he feels terrible about ruining our christmas... i told him not to worry about it... but today was also day one of our vacation.... so much for that also... i told him there was plenty of time for that later...
