Hi Ladies,
I have not heard from the doctor yet. He wants to read it and see why I am having the problems I am having. I cannot walk up and down steps without holding onto a railing or if Ron helps me. I have been falling a lot also. Getting old is not for the weak.
I hope that Greg will be ok. I do not like having an MRI. I was so sore after they got done with it I could hardly move. My neck was hurting really bad. You have to lay so still thru that. Hopefully he will not go thru that.
Here I am complaining and all of you are having problems of your own. Poor little Santino. He has caught a lot of different things hasn’t he. Grayson just turned three. Time is going by so fast. How old is Santino? He is the same age as Grayson I think. Is he three already or will he turn three soon? They are growing too fast and making us older. The cake you had for your birthday looks really good. Sounds like you had a good birthday. It was nice that your friends came over to celebrate with you.
Gail I was wondering about your weather. We had ten inches of snow and our electric went off for 17 hours. We are lucky that we have a generator. At least we could keep the fridge running and we could run one of the electric heaters that we have. So at least we had one room was warm.
DD it sounds like you are having a lot of cold weather there. This weather is crazy this year. It seems like it is effecting everyone all over the country. This will probably raise food prices this summer. Everything is getting so expensive. Do you hear from Critt at all? It is a shame that you had a falling out. It was nice to have a friend that you could have a meal with once in awhile. I can understand how you feel about the house being dreary after all the Christmas things down. I should put some lights up around here.to brighten the house up. I still have some Christmas things up. I should take them all down.
Well that is all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Snowmobiling sounds like a lot of fun. I have never done that but we use to go sledding. We use to go to art hill by the museum. It was a long hill and everyone would get their sleds and go down that hill. It was not fun walking back up the hill but we all did it. You would find a lot of the teens there and younger there and adults. It was just a fun place to go sledding.
I am so sore from that MRI yesterday. My neck is really sore also. They lay you on a hard table and expect you to get up feeling great. I had to lay there for 30 minutes and not move. Never going to do it again. Thank You for the prayers .
Luv U

Hi Ladies,
You had an interesting life Adele. The only place that we went when we were kids was Old Mexico. We just went for two weeks. so it was not an adventure like you had. It must have been interesting. I am like Gail I am an arm chair traveler. That is one thing I miss about my brother. He use to travel a lot. He would tell us all about his travels and show us pictures. We always had such a good time.
Do any of your grands speak German? How about your kids? Now I am getting noisy.
Gail did you do much traveling with your parents? What countries have you visited? Mexico is not much of a adventure but that is all I have. lol You have traveled a lot around the states.
Not a lot going on here. I have to have an x-ray of my pelvic area and an MRI. I guess falling on a concrete porch is a lot worse then falling on a wooden porch. I hope they say that I am just sore and nothing is cracked or broken. He is talking about me using a cane. I am not steady enough on my feet. I am not ready to walk with a cane all the time.
Well that is all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
I was wondering if you were getting some of that rain that is out that way. Those poor people in California with all the rain and storms that they are getting. That is a mess. I just pray that it ends for them soon.
I posted what is going on here on Adeles if you want to read it.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Things are not too good here. Another one of Ron’s cousins died last week. They buried one of his cousins on Monday and the other on Friday. I cannot believe that this is happening. Ron has a large family so we could go thru this for a long time. He has a lot of cousins and he still has aunts and uncles living. We could spend a lot of time going to funerals.
I guess it is our time of life to go thru this. I am not very good company right now. All of this going on and I fell again. I have to go to the doctor Monday and see if everything is ok.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
I am sorry to hear about Critt. Does he still live next door to you? Hopefully he will quit being so crabby. I guess he must not be feeling well that will make you crabby.
Sounds like you had a nice dinner with your friends. That was nice that they had a Christmas dinner for everyone. Sounds like you have some nice people in your building.
I have been giving some of my decorations away also. We have too many and we do not have as much room anymore. I have gotten rid of some of the shelves and our entertainment center so that took away a lot of space.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Sounds like you had a really good Christmas. We enjoyed ours with the little ones. We bought Nova a bus that she can push and walk pushing. She was really excited to get that. It plays music and did all kinds of different things. Grayson got one of those things from QVC that dances and wiggles it fanny. Aliza likes it also so will get her one for her birthday.
Your News Year Eve meal sounds better then ours. We had fried ham and potatoes. So it was not fancy just simple. It was just the two of us here. Danyielle had a party but we did not go. It is all young people so we do not think we would fit in.
I hope that every thing went well for you at the cardiologist. I do not like going to doctors but it seems like that is all we do anymore. We have not been doing much since the holiday. Just sitting around watching our hair turn grey.
That is all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
We had a good Christmas. It was cold and but the roads were not as bad as they had been. I am glad that we could get together. I am sorry to hear that you are going to get ice instead of snow. I would rather have the snow and no rain and ice. It is supposed to warm up here and then start raining. At least it will not be ice.
We still have more company coming. My youngest daughter is coming Friday so we will have another dinner. It will not be as good as the one we had Christmas. It will be good though.
Have a good day and stay safe.
Colleen
p.s. The santa with a mask is like the one my brother gave us the Christmas before he died.

Hi Gail,
I was wondering how you were doing there. Your weather is usually worse then ours. We have about 2 inches on the ground and it is below zero here. The
only nice thing about today is the sun is shinning but it is not warm enough for the snow to melt.
You never know about kids. I have a mister and Mrs. Santa Cause that my mom mad and I was surprised that Danyielle wanted it. She can set it by her fire place. I think that Aliza will like that. Danyielle is the one that said that she would not take any of the Santa’s in my collection but I guess now that her kids are older and they like to decorate so I guess she likes things like that a lot more. My mom made them so that be why she wants of them.
My mom use to say that also. She always said that the older we get the faster time goes by. I cannot believe that I have two grand kids that are in their twenties. It is hard to believe. I am great grandma already and it does not seem like I am old enough for that. Oh well it was bound to happen.
I wish you and your A Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Colleen
