Well, another New Year and hoping for a better one! December 2014 was a pretty busy month, with the holiday’s and all. Put the tree up, wasn’t going to, but I was reminded it was tradition. Which is true. My Mom had her tree up every year regardless of how she was feeling. It was great having those of you that could be here with me and I’m glad we have video with those that couldn’t be here, great to be able to do that! That meant we went to Texas for Gabe testing his new Roller Skates. California for Christmas presents opening. Enjoyed hearing the excitement in their voices when opening them! Also visited Florida for a chat with LaVella! Those of you that couldn’t make it that were sick, sorry you all were feeling bad. I did make sure they had some food sent to them. Didn’t want them to miss out on everything. It was a very busy day!
Went to a Christmas Play with Emily and her Dad, his wife Paula and her Sisters, Brother Josh and wife. Emily had us all for dinner at her house, then off to the play. Was a very good meal. Mike and I got separated from them as we took the elevator up to the 2nd floor balcony. They ended up on the 3rd floor. But all was ok. By taking the elevator we got real good seat in the Handicap area. A lady came over and took off the towel and said, “These are available.” I told Mike we will never find them, the seats are good . So we sat and had a good view and had fun. Thank you Mike for making the evening easy for me! Even though you poked my sore arm all evening. LOL!!
Carol fixed Christmas dinner and really dirtied up my stove. Never had grease run down the front of it until that day. We laughed so hard. I told her “you are sabotaging my stove.” She did get it cleaned so it would set off any more smoke alarms. Thank you, Carol! It was so much fun doing that with her. The dinner was great.
Izzy , Crystal’s little one, was having a great time . She, by the way, had the most attention. She had all the adults making over her. Falling in love with her as she is so cute in her reactions to things. What a cutie she is. Oh, and for Christmas, I received group photos of all the great-grandchildren together. Loved that. As you all know I am a lover of pictures and taking them. All in all Christmas was fun.
Then came the New Year! We’re off to a great start!
New Year: Day 1
My sewer line backed up. Had it fixed.
Candy called said, “Happy **** New Year!”
Well, after that . . .

New Year: Day 3
I went to the basement, the toilet down there was stopped up. So by the 6th of January everything is fine. Man, great start for the New Year. So, I am saying, well, it is an older home things like this happen. Just to make me feel better. It did. So presently we are just fine at the homestead.

Almost. Now we are coping with this frigid weather. Which, really, let’s face it. It’s January. We have had a very good string of good days. Warm then cold. Warm then cold. Not really bad. So I am taking it in stride and going to deal with it, as I have no choice.
Well, that is it for this month. Have a great New Year and enjoy life. You are always in my thoughts and in my heart.
Love to all,
Mom, Barb, Auntie , Friend.
