What an amazing week I have had at home!  (Well, tomorrow will be one week back)… 
First of all my sister had REALLY convinced me that she and the kids could not come to the airport, so it was a HUGE surprise when I found them hiding behind the elevators at the airport.  I was so tired and so happy, that all I could do was give one of those really ugly cries … and I mean REAL UGLY!! 🙂  I went home and got to eat some chicken, sausage, and okra gumbo with a huge glass of sweet tea!  It was a wonderful first day back.  Here are some pictures of my week …
 
          
                                                                         
 
After spending two days with my favorite children in the world — I got a surprised by my best friends with a delicious Mexican fiesta party!  Here are some pics of people I love so much …
 
         
 
         
         
 
Thank you so much for all your support this year and I look so forward to getting to spend time with you soon.  I have to confess as I sit here at my sister’s house — I am so thankful that The Ellen Show is back in my life!! 🙂  I sure did miss it!
 
One last thing — to be fully reimbursed for all of my personal expenses for this past year (such as plane tickets, health insurance, and the shots I had to get for this trip) I have to raise $790.  If you would like to donate you can CLICK HERE or send money to:
