It has been great to relax and not be interrupted here at the hotel. Although we were both up and down during the night, we were together. We slept in-got up about 9am. I went downstairs and brought breakfast up for us and then we each slept some more. After cleaning up and reading some email, Chris and I took a walk down to the lobby and sat outside the hotel for about 10 minutes to get a bit of fresh air. the temperature is still comfortable-around 50 degrees. It has been interesting to watch the hospital decorate for Christmas. The main entrance lobby has a huge tree made of red poinsettias. Another entrance I've used has a smaller tree of white poinsettias, sprinkled with red ones here and there. There is a gigantic lit wreath over the one of the entrances and manger scene to the side of the entrance. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Have a good day. Mary Jo (and Chris too!)
