Our daughter-in-law, Amy, is attending Westminster College in PA--just across the border from us--for her second degree--and I am caring for the children, but we look forward to seeing you. God bless you for all the work you have done for "The least of His Children"... I shudder to think how thy all need you and your colleagues--all I can say to you is our wonderful Irish Blessing: " May the Roads rise to meet you; Mat the winds be ever at your back; May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand" Love, Jane and Joe SainatoJanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-13288266508371513762009-12-31T08:08:27.672-08:002009-12-31T08:08:27.672-08:00I can assure you that in Italy the situation is pr...I can assure you that in Italy the situation is pretty much the same, let alone in the UK, which is collapsing. I think hoping for a better 2010 is not enough, we need to MAKE it better!

...Ayie - this HAS to be a better year. I am glad <br /> you are a part of it!<br /><br />Bernie - getting to know you has been one of the<br /> bright spots of the last few months of this<br /> year. I am happy blogging has brought me new<br /> friends! I send blessings and hugs back to<br /> you!<br /><br />Margie - now that's an offer I will take you<br /> up on - a nice gentleman of my own!!! Wow.<br /> Happy New Year to you and Edna.<br /><br />Icy BC - looks like we'll have to take each<br /> other by the hand and make this the best<br /> year ever!<br /><br />Betchai - thankfully, my computer made it <br /> through the year and I finally heeded my<br /> friend, Poetic Shutterbug's encouragement<br /> and started blogging. Meeting friends like<br /> you has helped so much and your blogs have<br /> been a great source of delight for me.<br /><br />fullet - my Catalan friend, how nice to begin <br /> to know you better but we missed our chance<br /> to meet, I'm afraid. I don't know if I'll<br /> ever get back to Spain....waiting on the<br /> lottery!!<br /><br />Donna - sounds good to me - no upsets!! The <br /> best of New Year's to you.<br /><br />Sharkbytes - lunch at the Osaka Hotel was as<br /> delicious as it was visually beautiful!! I<br /> was glad to write the review. I enjoy your<br /> blog so much.<br /><br />Pat - I keep forgetting you are/were a nurse.<br /> It is sad, isn't it, to see the changes <br /> taking place. I don't want to be in the<br /> hospital, that's for sure!!<br /><br /> Happy New Year and I'm looking forward to <br /> many more wonderful NY blogs.<br /><br />Ratty - I never thought I would be fond of <br /> anyone with the name "Ratty" but I am! I<br /> love your blog and I don't really love rats.<br /> I have learned a lot from reading it, <br /> though, and I always look forward to it.<br /><br />C - so glad you like the New Year's poem. I<br /> send wishes for a wonderful year to you <br /> and yours.<br /><br />Alaine - it's good to see a new face here. <br /> Happy New Year!!<br /><br />A human kind of human - your comment warms my<br /> heart. Thank you so much. I'll talk about<br /> my foresic nurse work one of these days...<br /> most of it is sad and of a confidential <br /> nature so I can't share that but I will<br /> tell you all about some of the heartwarming<br /> parts.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-1355041837123391702009-12-31T00:37:37.600-08:002009-12-31T00:37:37.600-08:00How do you tell someone you love them in cyberspac...How do you tell someone you love them in cyberspace. It feels as if it will not ring true yet I do want to tell you that I love you, with cyberlove I guess. Since I have been following your blog you have been a delight to me. Your memories of your travels and your poems are always interesting and I wish you would tell us a few stories of your days as a forensic nurse - it sounds so interesting.
