Good Morning everyone! Henriette those are beautiful ornaments. I love old fashioned and classy decorations like that. My tree pretty much tells the story of our life w/ decorations my daughter made, places we've visited, significant moments in our lives and so on. I'm glad you had a nice visit w/ your sister too.

So I have a question. As you know my Dad passed away in April. I spoke w/ his wife once since then because she was just as snarky and snotty as usual. So I figured why torment myself w/ trying to keep a relationship when she always made me feel unwelcome in my fathers home. (Yes it was his home as he paid every penny for it and she contributed nothing). Anyway, I do a Christmas brunch at my house. Should I suck it up and call her/invite her? My husband would say it's the right thing to do but HE was never the brunt of her negative behavior. I'm at a loss. My Mom will be there and I don't want to hurt her feelings by having the step mother there. Although my Mom is a class act and wouldn't harbor any ill feelings. What should I do? My heart has been very heavy lately w/ the holidays happening without my Dad. Yesterday I was very weepy while trying to decorate until I finally gave in and just cried.

Today I did another you tube of Yvette Bachman. It was "Leg day with step and cardio". The cardio was great and the weights were heavy. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi Peg, and all who follow,

Honestly Peg that is a hard one. I was not close to my father's 2nd wife (after my mom passed) and there was tension between all of us.

We saw her once before they got married, we were NOT invited to their wedding and saw her again at my father's funeral (which she did not want us to attend ) but my brother and our spouses did so anyway.

I would invite her to be nice, she could say no, or if she comes be polite and spend time with other relatives.

Today I taught my aerobic dance circuit to 7 ladies for an hour then did an hour of heavy weight work including abs and floorwork legs using the body bar (15 pounds).

Pretty ornaments Henriette. I thought you lived in Denmark, is the country that big?

Have a great day and workout!![emoji3]

Late greetings Peg&Annette, no workout tonight, still previewing new DVDs! I gotta tell you, I got another one
Of Kelly Coffey-Meyers, StepBoxing, and it looks like so much fun!! 2 30 min. Workouts and tons of premixes,
With extra drills and weight work too. She has a modifier and even has a tutorial chapter explaining some of the
Harder moves and shows the modifications as well...I am just tickled to death. I love Cathe and her workouts,
But Kelly is coming in a real close second....

Enough of that, I guess, IMHO, Peg, you should invite her, maybe she will decline, or not stay too long, look inside
Your heart and do what your dad would want you to do, and that will be the right decision.
