She’s doing pretty well. A week later she’s moving better than she was before surgery, and seems to be regaining some strength. She was able to stand and drink from the water dish, which she could not do before surgery. She can make a loop all the way around the yard. Before surgery she’d have […]

No in person church service, church on the phone. Santa was put back up again after the blizzard. Swedish meatballs! This distanced Christmas, we did not go to each others houses or any of that.

The socks arrived, and as I opened the package and tossed them out on the table, this is what I thought, “A feast.” Look how beautiful they are. They are expensive, about $20 a pair, but they are everyone’s favorite, and you can see why. And this guy, bravely standing outside on brown grass. On
It was a good weekend, spent brief time with all my kids, a face time with John and Dannell, watched her Christmas dance performance and saw the gingerbread houses they made. Such a sweet dancer, very nice. All the creations were unique and charming, even John’s made from toast which caved in from the weight
