This is so sweet! Listener Randi Gielczyk’s grandma just turned 94 years old (uh, I mean young). Her name is RAYDA DEUBEL. She was once our winner of the world’s LARGEST floral bouquet. They are the nicest family in the world. CONGRATS on the birthday!! So sweet. Here she is with some family (including her great grandchildren). May the New Year be great for all of you. Family and long life, that’s what it’s all about.

Wow, what in incredibly cool trip! Just took the kids to Puerta Vallarta Mexico! We swam with the Dolphins, went whale watching (and I don’t mean ME in a bathing suit), kissed a sea lion, para-sailed, and just had a blast. Getting 6 people to Mexico and then back again in one piece is a big FEAT in my book. Phew! We stayed at the Marival resort and suites (it was really nice) and really had a relaxing time. One thing that had me CRACKING up was that on the way home in the Puerta Vallarta airport I bought 5 magazines and got a “gift with purchase”. I was shocked when they handed me a NAIL CLIPPERS with a sharp, metal, pointy nail file!! The lady at the counter must have thought I was nuts when I couldn’t control my laughter. I just went through 12 hours of security, a pat down, past 6 radar detectors, drank radon liquid to see if I was safea and then they hand me THIS to take on the plane! LOL!! I was dying. Anyway, another successful family trip- another adventure in the family book- and more great times. Hope you had an awesome holiday too and I can’t wait to hear about it.
