OK, I guess after one year and a couple of weeks I ought to re-activate this thing.
We're still here, still in the house we bought, and I am still in the job I started in December 2010. R was out of work for 11 months but he has a job now too. And F is still in her spot, and thinking about buying a house.
Can't talk about politics right now because it's too irritating but I hope the country has a great 2012 with the economy improving all the way.

About Me
- Laura(southernxyl)
- e-mail me southernxyl at hotmail dot com I am Laura, southernxyl. Where does "southernxyl" come from? First of all, I am from Mississippi and I've lived in the South since I graduated from college. When I was a kid my brother was a ham radio operator. I learned some of the shorthand expressions hams used to save tapping that key. One was "yl", for "young lady" (girl) and one was "xyl" for "ex-young lady" (woman). So I am a southern ex-young lady. I live with R, my husband of 30 years, and two cats.

Nice to see you write again. Glad to hear that you still have your job.
Best wishes for a happy new year!
Thanks, and you too!
Haven't checked here in a while, but did today for some reason. Great to hear that things are going well. D and I are doing well as well. (Wells enough?) I had my own 'wham' experience last winter when I slipped on ice (as I was stepping off of it after being on if for a couple of hours), came down flat on my back (and thought "good, I didn't break an arm or hit my head") and later figured out that I had broken two ribs. I got better. 2011 was not the best of years for D and I for that and other reasons. For our son J it was better, as he got married, had a baby, and bought a house. d graduated from HS and is in L.A. now. Good to hear about R's job, last time I spoke with him he was still looking. Let us know if you're in Memphis, or maybe we can come visit. -H
Wow, a grandbaby. And an actress daughter - d's pictures are very pretty on imdb.com.
F tells me periodically that I am not getting grandchildren, because I sent her Portrait of a Lady and she read it, among other reasons.
Yes, come visit! I have a guest room! Don't have furniture in the master bedroom yet so will have to sleep on the floor, but what the hey!
