Hi family, Yep! Our home is decorated for the holidays! yeaaayyyy It only took me THREE harddrives to get everything online this year! (really!) Our family tree is the same one as the past two years, I'm afraid. It took me so long to do the front page, and almost as long to do a new tree page. When my 2nd harddrive crashed I was able to save part of the front page, but nothing of the tree page. So, we're just 'stuck' with the same family page until next year. :-| ~ It was either this or have to wait yet another week for me to get the new tree page done. We're running out of time. <g> I did something different this year. Now, when you go into the house, and sit in the main hallway, you'll see a bright yellow "here it is" just under the parlor link (Internet Explorer) and it'll be blinking (Netscape Explorer only). Actually, the pages will view best with Internet Explorer on the 800x600 setting, 16 million colors (or something high like that!). :) Are you a new cousin? WELCOME to YOUR first family Christmas with us! You can see our home all decorated for the holidays by clicking here <http://bowercommunity.com/homestead>. One more thing I need to address... Christmas gifts. I have received only 3 from cousins. The 8 December deadline is quickly approaching. Are we not going to have 'Santa' visit us this year? I'll still put the three gifts under the tree for Christmas Day, but cousins ~ is this really what you want???? If you have gifts that you just haven't sent yet, you can email them to me at <ladyaudris@earthlink.net>. I wish you all a THRILLING Thursday! E.R.'s on tonite! yeaaayyy!! :) Colleen
