Happy Christmas

Will be offline for a while - as I have been. But, I hope one and all have a safe and happy Christmas!

ENORMOUS thanks and hugs to all my friends who have made donations to The Fistula Foundation and Doctors Without Borders in lieu of giving gifts. You just don't know how profoundly happy that makes me!!

Once I get around to my Christmas cards (and I'll republish it here) everyone will know, but I've donated $450 to the Fistula Foundation which will take care of a woman in Ethiopia in full as describted herein:

While $450 isn't enough for one night's stay in most hospitals in the United States, it is enough for Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital to provide one woman with restorative surgery, postoperative care, and classes in health and basic literacy while she recuperates. It's even enough to provide her with a new dress and bus fare home.
