It has been two months since my last post. Wow - before Christmas. It's been a busy time, especially as we got closer to Christmas and the Christmas Eve party. This was one of our better Christmas Eves. More and more as our two families get to visit at various functions, they seem to relax and enjoy each other's company. I think having the great room contributes a lot to that since there's really no place to go. :>)
We had an enjoyable New Year's Eve - Rose and LeRoy came for dinner. After dinner we watched a movie and at midnight fired off a bunch of party crackers - what a mess we had to clean up the next day.
We had to postpone the birthday party on the 21st for Jim because of his heart incident. He's taking different medication now, so hopefully we won't have any more scares like that one. The party we finally had on the 28th was a lot of fun. We missed Jen and Jason and Anita and Marc's kids, but it was good that Marc came. Jim had a great time and loved getting all the neat gifts. I video taped a lot of the party and am still putting the finishing touches on the edit.
We've been busy with so many things - every day seems to have some project going on. Kathy's dental work is about to be completed, hopefully tomorrow. This has been a long, long haul for all. Looking back, her first appointment was in August of last year. Initially we thought it would only take a couple of months. Tomorrow she should get her dentures and I promise to post a picture on the blog.
It's beginning to feel a lot like spring, so true to form, I planted some stuff... spinach, lettuce, nasturciums, zinnias, sweetpeas, morning glories. I started some tomatoes and peppers in peat pots. It's the first time I've used peat pots, so it will be interesting to see how this works. I want to plant some marigolds and petunias and some kind of pretty hanging flowers for our hanging baskets. We had the gardner transplant the rose trees into the ground, so hopefully, they will do well. They struggled last year in the pots and really need a place to let their roots wander.
We'll be having dinner at The Point with Rose and LeRoy for Valentine's Day, then home to share a bottle of champagne. Every year since Jim and I have been together he has given me roses on Valentines Day and every year Bustopher attempts to eat them. I usually end up giving him a rose of his own. This year we have Annabelle as well and she's a BIG house plant muncher - If I get roses this year I may have to lock them away from the kitties.
I've not been very good about maintaining the blog lately, and I won't make any sweeping promises for the future, but check back now and then - perhaps there will be an update.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
