Lynda,

That is so funny about the bird.... We are getting my Mom one of those robots... It cleans tile floors for her... She hurt her leg and can't walk to much so Thank God they are getting this for her for Christmas, so I don't have to mop daily... I hope it works... By the way my niece that lives with my Mother has a Rabbit.... Guess I will by hiding ozzy around the corner... LOL

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year

Good Luck on the Foot Healing and prayers are coming your way

God Bless,

We are getting her the floor scrubber then... My Sister is in charge of the present... I just have to split the cost... I do know they said it was a robot that scrubs the tile.... No carpet... They want to but that later, but my Mom has so much on her carpet as in furniture and things... Will it still work?

This is my Christmas letter. I thought I would share it with all of

you, especially since Lynn got such a kick out of the bird part.

Lynda

1) The wind is howling through the trees

The snow is blowing cold

Not a creature in stirring outside

At least that's what I'm told.

2) Santa would have to be crazy

To come out in this storm

He'd likely stay by the fireplace

Keep himself cozy and warm.

3) But by midnight it will blow over

And his coast will be clear

He can load up the presents

And bring the Christmas cheer.

4) So with Santa on his way

And the gifts under the tree

It's time to once again wish

Happy Holidays to you from me.

Dearest Family and Friends,

It is once again time to catch up on annual happenings. I hope that

your 2007 has been healthy and productive for all.

I started out the year with a bang, literally. Fell on the ice

(night, 10 below zero) on January 13th and had a concussion and a

sprained wrist. Then I flew to Hawaii to visit my sister Collie on

the 15th and they pat a black brace on my wrist. I went snorkeling

with it on, was not going to pass up on checking out the pretty

fish. Sharon (my sister) was there also. I left Collie's car in

worse shape than I found it, so it was really not a good first month

of the year.

We had a bumper crop of plums this year, broke all kinds of branches

off the tree. I have cut it way back, but I gave plums away to

everyone in the neighborhood who could use them. We have plenty of

plum jam now. The garden had a bumper crop of broccoli and other

goodies. We ate well.

In February we traded our car. We decided not to put $2000 in the

old one, so we have a 2007 Toyota Camry. We have another new toy,

Roomba, the I-Robot sweeper. It helps keep our house clean. Every

time I use it I think about how big a kick my mother would have

gotten from one of these. We call it the bug. The bird thinks it is

alive and she freaks out when she sees me with it. I can't have her

in the room, have to move her around the corner when I use it. Silly bird.

I visited my twin granddaughters (Eshana and Chantrea) and Molly and

their dad (Lonny) in Crestone twice this year, would like it if they

lived closer. I don't get to see any of the grandkids or my kids as

often as I might like. Molly stayed with me for two weeks in the

summer. Amber, a and live just 30 minutes away, but I am

lucky to see them once in a month. Richelle keeps busy, so they

don't get over here. I haven't heard from , who is in Pennsylvania.

was here for Thanksgiving; he will be in Guatemala by the time

you receive this. He stayed here longer this fall to do some

computer work and play with some bands. Dan has moved to Nederland

(in the mountains) so I don't see him anymore.

Bob says he is " Mean as ever " , which means he is doing well. We

haven't seen any of his adult children this year. Christie is

graduating with a second Master's Degree next May on her way to a

Doctorate. Terry and are both working for the same company in

Colorado Springs and we have not heard one work from Emery. We hope

to get together next May for a trip to the canyons of the SW, Zion,

Bryce, etc. We may know more about their lives after we get together

for this trip.

My summer had a surprise ending when I broke my foot on September

13th. It seemed to be healing well until November 13th when I

started to have acute pain and loss of mobility. I was diagnosed

with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in my foot and ankle. I am doing

some cutting edge treatment with hyperbarics to try to reverse

it. Expensive, hope it works. Insurance does not cover it. They

opened a hyperbaric treatment office in Boulder just a few months ago.

May your 2008 be happy, healthy and prosperous. We am counting on

ours being the same.

Love,

Lynda and Bob

Hi Lynda,

Wow, how many kids and grandkids do you have?! Also, is the Roomba

worth it? Love, PH

PH,

There is a new model Roomba 530 that probably would be even

better. I think it is supposed to go between linoleum and carpet

with more ease. It is great to clean up with if you don't have long

haired pets. It goes under the bed and the couch and around

furniture. You can use it for several months before you have to

break out the vacuum, sometimes it is 4-5 months before we dig out

the big vacuum. We just let the Roomba do the cleaning. I move

small furniture and plants and, of course, the silly bird. You can

use it when you have long-haired pets, but will have to clean the

roller every time, a bit of a nusiance. It has virtual walls to

block where you don't want it to go. It is really cute and

entertaining. I just think my mother would have gotten the biggest

kick out of it.

I have 4 kids and 8 grandkids, one I have no clue where he is. The

other 7 were mentioned in my Christmas letter. I have 5 brother and sisters.

Wow, Lynda, you have a big family! I am definitely going to check

out the Roomba 530. I had a hard enough time keeping up with the

cleaning when I was well. Now the place is down right disgusting!

Order a second set of filters and if you need them, two more virtual

walls. You will understand when you get one how much you need

those. I only have two virtual walls, but I use boxes and chairs,

etc. to block off rooms. I could use a second set of virtual walls.

Thanks for the tips Lynda! My husband has been asking what I want

for Christmas and I couldn't come up with anything except probiotics

and supplements. Material items just don't mean anything to me

anymore...but I think this Roomba might put a smile on my face!

PH,

You will get a big kick out of it, just get the 530 as it is the

latest with the greatest ability to do the job.

You can find these online, Amazon.com or other places. Shop for the

best price and best deal on shipping. It can be there by Christmas.

There are floor washing robots also. I think Patty has one. This is

a sweeper, and great on wood, tile, and carpet, the 530 is really the

best one I know about right now.

The rabbit might be scared of the robot, I would watch and see what

it does from across the room. My bird really does think it is alive.

Yes, I move small pieces of furniture, but it goes under the charis

and couches and coffee table. But, if she has a problem with

non-carpeted rooms, ask Patty about what she uses on her non-carpeted

floors. I remember her saying she had one.

Rogene,

The new 530 is supposed to do an even better job. I think it will

have to wait for me, however. I like the one I have. Only my bird

does not like it, the rest of us think it is pretty cool.

Hi Ladies,

I have the one that does tile floors--I think it's called a Scooba?

It works great. I got rid of most of my carpet and put travertine

tile down instead and I'm much happier with that, and the Scooba

makes keeping them clean much easier.

I went snorkeling with it on, was not going to pass up on checking out the pretty fish. Sharon (my sister) was there also. I left Collie's car in worse shape than I found it, so it was really not a

good first month of the year. We had a bumper crop of plums this year, broke all kinds of branches off the tree. I have cut it way back, but I gave plums away to everyone in the neighborhood who could use them. We have plenty of plum jam now. The garden had a bumper crop of broccoli and other goodies. We ate well. In February we traded our car. We decided not to put $2000 in the old one, so we have a 2007 Toyota Camry. We have another new toy, Roomba, the I-Robot sweeper. It helps keep our house clean. Every time I use it I think about how big a kick my mother would have gotten from one of these. We call it the bug. The bird thinks it is alive and she freaks out when she sees me with it. I can't have her in the room, have to move her around the corner when I use it. Silly bird. I visited my twin granddaughters (Eshana and Chantrea) and Molly and their dad (Lonny) in Crestone

twice this year, would like it if they lived closer. I don't get to see any of the grandkids or my kids as often as I might like. Molly stayed with me for two weeks in the summer. Amber, a and live just 30 minutes away, but I am lucky to see them once in a month. Richelle keeps busy, so they don't get over here. I haven't heard from , who is in Pennsylvania. was here for Thanksgiving; he will be in Guatemala by the time you receive this. He stayed here longer this fall to do some computer work and play with some bands. Dan has moved to Nederland (in the mountains) so I don't see him anymore. Bob says he is "Mean as ever", which means he is doing well. We haven't seen any of his adult children this year. Christie is graduating with a second Master's Degree next May on her way to a Doctorate. Terry and are both working for the same company in Colorado Springs

and we have not heard one work from Emery. We hope to get together next May for a trip to the canyons of the SW, Zion, Bryce, etc. We may know more about their lives after we get together for this trip. My summer had a surprise ending when I broke my foot on September 13th. It seemed to be healing well until November 13th when I started to have acute pain and loss of mobility. I was diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in my foot and ankle. I am doing some cutting edge treatment with hyperbarics to try to reverse it. Expensive, hope it works. Insurance does not cover it. They opened a hyperbaric treatment office in Boulder just a few months ago. May your 2008 be happy, healthy and prosperous. We am counting on ours being the same. Love, Lynda and Bob No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle. ~Winston Churchill
