One of the highlights of the year for me is our Christmas gathering. We moved it into January so that Nathanael, Sam and Addy could join in the celebration with us. Unfortunately, Michael got the flu the day before traveling, so they canceled. We always have a great time, great food, great games, great conversation, great family togetherness and a great photo shoot! We rarely have to take a second picture! January 13-14, 2024

Everyone at church loves to see the family and I love that they all come with us! 1/14/24

New Year’s Day and I picked up the knitting needles for the first time since my pickleball mishap in October 2023.

Of all the times for our furnace to quit, it had to be the week the kids were coming in for the Christmas gathering! But Jack McGrew worked especially hard to get it fixed since we had family coming in! In the mean time, Liz and Brad let us borrow their ceramic heater, which was a life saver! 1/11/24

I picked Ilene up and then we picked Mark and Noah up at the shop. We went to Cagney’s, I believe, for breakfast. Ilene turned 84 today. 1/18/24

Willow, Jenifer’s German Wire-haired pointer bred with an Aussie Doodle, and gave birth to 6 super cute puppies! I love the smell of new puppies! And they are so soft! 1/19/24

The Red Lion Amaryllis Jennifer gave me at Thanksgiving gave us a spectacular show as it opened with 6 blooms. These are the last two before finally being spent before the end of the month. 1/17/24
