I am so glad to see the grandbabbies had a great christmas. I hope everyone else did as well. Here in Iraq at camp cup cake christmas looked alot like work and dirt. After all the stories I have heard about Iraq this is a let down. I have been talking to the soldiers when the get back from there missions. They are board stiff too. Some of them are gald to be board some want some sort of action. The iraqi people on base are very friendly and will talk about anything except polotics and pre war iraq. It is kind or strange. There really arent very many native iraqi people on the base. I will be stuck here at least for the first 90 days. I cant evan apply for jobs at other bases until my 90 days are up. I am still working on uploading some pictures. I should have it worked out soon. Well the timer is going off I have to frost the cup cakes. I wish everyone A healty and Happy New Year. I pray the new year bring peace and prosperity to everyone. And everyone get a chance to feel the love and support my family has felt since I have been away. I really appericat the lettters and messages the Hanson family has sent. They have maigically appered when i needed them

Hi Jim and Everyone,
Aloha from Hawaii! We were so happy to get Jim's email. I did forward it to everyone today.
Mom went to Sandie's where she spends most holidays. Don and I continued our ritual of starting the year with a vacation--life is so incredibly stressful here these days it is wonderfult o decompress before starting the rat race again.
Cindy is coming over for New Year's we are going to the Palm Springs Tram and toasting the New Year at home.
I havenlt heard from Jo Ann in awhile so I am not sure what she did. Karen spent the time with Family.
Karen, Cindy and my family went to mom's a couple of weeks ago for our holiday party. Uncle Bob was here are looked great too.
I will post some pictures if you like.
Love, Marilyn
I don't have much to say. LJ and myself are pulling ourselves together as best we can.
Here is the note Larry left me.
To CINDY with love
Should I go first and you remain to bear the burden of being alone
I hope that I have left good memories of
The happiness’ that we have known
I have had my day in the limelight , for that is true
I have had my chance for recognition and glory
And it’s all because of you
As I walk down that pathway, so lonely and wide
I know it will lonely
Without you and LJ at my side
I will walk slowly with joy and love in my heart
I take only good memories of days gone by
For I know we will meet in heaven, never again to part
So don’t cry for me my love, please don’t be sad
I hope you think of me as a good husband
I hope both of you remember me as one that tried to be a good dad
Till we meet again in heaven remember, that you and LJ were the most important thing and best thing in my life.
All my love
larry
I am so fortunate to be surrounded by people who care about me and LJ. I have am taking baby steps right now. Right now I am finishing up some work Larry started. It is just like when he was alive and it feels good.
It is amazing how many leeches are out there trying to capitilize off of Larry's death. Not to mention dirty old men. Puke!
Jim we are very, very proud of you and the courage you show.
Love to everyone-Cindy and LJ
P.S. I am a virgin blogger and I hope I have done this correctly
Unless these the same cupcakes that you were making on the 23rd, I think you're going to need to start excercising. :D
