Can't believe it has been so long since I posted. It has been a busy year. I had my right knee replaced in May and spent the next three months in physical therapy, doctor's visits. Fortunately, my surgery and recovery have been better than normal. I can now walk without pain. Believe me, being pain free is the best Christmas Present I could have.

Speaking of Christmas Presents--If you are like me and enjoying the benefits of Medicare and Social Security, count your blessings. It really troubles me to see so many of my generation who have these benefits out in public, making jackasses of themselves, adamant that others not so fortunate will be denied public health insurance. Yes, I'm of the "I Like Ike" generation, but somewhere along the way, my ILI party went down the tubes and I became a lot more liberal (and I believe humane) in my beliefs.

Please Santa, bring a public health plan to those less fortunate than I in this blessed Christmas season. Bring the uninsured and suffering a plan that will give them the blessings of good health.

Merry Christmas!

Spring is Here!

Don't you just love it. Spring has finally come and with it all the exciting special days. Get ready for a Fiesta with Cinco de Mayo followed closely by Mothers' Day.

Blessings, Nita

Happy Easter

May your Easter be Blessed and Joyful.

Wishing Barack and Michelle Obama All the Best!

President-elect Barack Obama: "Anything is possible in America. Despite the enormity of the task that lies ahead, I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States of America will endure — that it will prevail, that the dream of our founders will live on in our time."

On January 20, 2009, he will become the 44th President of the United States of America. He will have to deal with a severe economic crisis and two wars (just to name a couple of problems he will face). Please join me in wishing Barack and Michelle Obama all the best in the coming months and years.
