Some other January doings

 Mike baked and I delivered cookies to the children in our new Primary class this year. Cute kids. Brewer, Ember and Elijah. This is year three for us.

Mike went through three weeks of at-home Physical Therapy for his knee, then started more at the PT office ( Also known as Pain and Torture.) He even fell on the ice going in there once! Yikes. No damage done, thankfully. He is improving almost daily.

I accompanied Mom to a variety of Dr. appointments and blood draws during the month. She got COVID and had to be quarantined for a week in her room, poor gal.  She missed one appointment with a Kidney Dr because of that setback. It could have been worse and she felt better after a week. It did take a toll, tho. 

I went out to lunch with Janet Seegmiller ( for my birthday. Which was in November. We are kind of slow like that). And I went out again with her and two other library ladies ( Sheri Butler and Paula Mitchell). I helped orchestrate that gathering. We will have to have a reprise, as one invited Library lady couldn't come due to her husband's death.  (Diana Graff) AND, I hosted a "Walking Buddies of the Past" luncheon at my house.  Nope, not a single photo of any of those events.

I ate out a few times with Mike, with Mom, too. 

I have outgrown my wedding rings and now must seriously do some diet adjustments.

Mike and I went to the Travel Expo together in St. George one Wednesday afternoon. And we had a free lunch at Jersey Mike's Subs, thanks to Ashton & Associates. We won a gift card from a drawing there at an Ashton event ages ago.

I attended the temple twice without Mike and once with him. I kind of miss working in the Temple Office.  But I do love having lots of free time, and we hope to become more regular Temple Patrons now. It's SO close-- a five minute drive from our house.

Mike's older sister, Anita, passed away early in January. There was no service, so we (I) sent flowers. There were two Chadburn cousins that passed, too. Gerald Chadburn and Riley Graham. Again, no services that we were aware of.

We had some good snow storms! Yay, water for our desert! 

I helped with concessions twice for the Cedar Valley Community Theater production of "Big Fish." It was SO good. Very enjoyable.

I started watching BYUTV 's "Wind at my back" series. It's old,  ( 1995) Canadian and I love it. Depression era times and experiences for families in a small town in Canada. I'm already on season two.😄. I also watched all of a PBS series, "Indian Summers." Educational, but too raunchy to recommend.

Mike and I have been loving spending some wintery evenings together playing cards and Settlers of Catan. Each time we play, he can stand to sit for a wee bit longer. Progress with his healing.

I donated blood in January(double reds!) And Mom and I saw. "The Boys in the Boat" at the theater. Good flick. 

I did some stuff. Yep, I did. And I love being able to take an afternoon nap if I want to. I love being retired.
