I admire your desire to jump into the Holiday spirit...a little holiday music certainly helps. Glad to hear you are feeling better. I would love to see those trees you decorated and definitely some pics of your power pt of the cadets! How nice. I bet you feel so proud after you shared that power point. I have helped to put together slide shows for high school sports awards banquets.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717015543939819841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-72273630716061413992008-12-07T11:30:00.000-05:002008-12-07T11:30:00.000-05:00Your unnecessary feelings of guilt about mourning ...Your unnecessary feelings of guilt about mourning doves led to an awfully cute photo of one, Mary. I never see Mourning Doves at this house - just the White-winged doves, who think they own the place. <BR/><BR/>Glad you were able to persevere and get the PPoint of the cadets ready for history - and also glad your eye is better.
