So sad. The funeral is FRIDAY, I am busy Thursday night so I won't be going down till Friday morning.
We had a wonderful Christmas with Skye on Christmas Eve and with John and Carrie and families on Christmas Day.
The only sad note is Jane, Jim's ex-wife couldn't be there. She had been very ill and is in a home. Her heart is only working at 50% and to add to it had a tumor removed on her petuitary glan, she is always there and cooking and baking, she puts out the most lovely Christmas letter every year about the grandkids. She was missed.
We are back to routines, and life keeps us very busy.
On Monday my neighbor Linda and I went to our first crochet class. There are three. We are also practicing together at 8:30 .in the morning for 2 hours. We are good girls we are....
That takes care of Monday nights for a month.
It just seems the calender fills up so fast. We have bone builders every Monday and Friday morning at 10 am. There is a class offered free on January 12th in strength training for Seniors, a MONDAY, I have a conflicting schedule that day and I will have to see what I can do. I can't be in Crosby and Deer River at the same time.
We have crafter on Thursday mornings and once a month ..
WELCA on Thursday night and Lions once a month on
Monday night. On N.Y. Day we spent 7 hours doing Lions inventory. Counting unsold pull tabs. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Now on Thursday's I will be going to Weight Watcher meetings. I honestly don't know if there is anything I can do about my weight but I have to try. So here goes.
I will get to see Paul St Martin and I haven't seen him for almost 30 years.
His son Craig was 41, same age as Ali and Jay, we had a triple baby shower for them all.
Jim and I both got shots in our left eyes yesterday. We go to Brainerd for this. Wonderful Dr Reynolds does it. He finally took on another Dr. He is from Banglor India, tall and handsome. Tall is unusual for India.
We will get him sometime but not yet. Insurance, we just switched to another provider so we will see how we like it. Tomorrow I am having some work on the car done and I a going to get Jim to stop in at the YMCA in Grand Rapids and see if we now qualify for a silver sneakers program of some kind. I need to go to Crafter's Thursday and WELCA at night and W.W. In Longville and pack. Three nights in the cities and seeing the kids.
Maybe I get to babysit Hope and Hudson. Who knows.
My tree is still up and will be till Feb. then I will take the ornaments off and just leave it lit up.
I love lights, poor Jim, has to put up with me.
You should see the Roses I got for our Anniversary, a whole box of long stem red roses from Bogata Columbia, 25 of them, he bought the whold box. They still look great. Blessed to have such a wonderful man. 30 years next year. Do I hear a cruise in the works. I think so. It has been so cold this year we need it now. Oh well, by the by little Otto had an 8th birthday January 4th. Makons will be 9 June 4th. My goodness they like their dog treats. Boy do they have us trained.
I think I will get them started on a leaner dog food. I think I can pinch an inch on Makons.
I know I can pinch 2 inches on PJ. Kill me.
I love to eat.
