Christmas Sadness

I mailed out our Christmas cards this morning. This afternoon we got a card from a friend of ours that used to fly jets in the Navy with DH. His wife had a brain tumor last year and died in February this year. We didn't know until tonight. In their card I told them we missed seeing them at Homecoming in October and to have a Happy 2007. He's been dealing with this all year, and knew that some people did not know about her death. We sent off an email and gave him our condolences, nothing else to be done.Just puts things in perspective. We have another couple that both lost parents this year, he lost his mother and she lost both parents. Our thougths and prayers go out this Christmas season to both of them.

On a happier note. I went into DC today and did a tour of the White House.
Saw all the holiday decorations and the Christmas tree that is in the White House. The Red room, Green room, and Blue room. It was all beautiful.I walked out the front door and looked out on Pennsylvania Ave. Loads of history, and just to cool .To bad you can't take pictures on the tour.... I would have taken lots.
