I hope he let the doctors do it instead of trying some sort of ninja
technique on her.

May she recover and be back on her feet in time to dance in the New Year's.

Cool.

My mom and I both dont care much for ham.

My grandma used to send us these 20# spiral cut hams every year.

We started taking them to the local women and childrens shelter.

Now we buy an extra turkey for the smoker, and make a 10 pound wad of cookie
dough to give them every year.

Also cool. It's funny how traditions of helping others get started. It's
wonderful that they do.
