NORTH??? IN THE WINTER????

Yep, that’s me.  North in the winter. 

I arrived last week on Thursday, and will be staying for about 6 weeks.  Had a nice trip up here.  I am staying with Jana and David.

Last Saturday we went to Mike and Penny’s house.  Mike is David’s son and Penny is Mike’s wife.  We had a really nice time celebrating Christmas with their family along with Vickie (David’s daughter), her husband and their family.  Deborah also joined us.  The food was awesome.  Penny is a great cook.

Kevin came up on Sunday and spent five days working on Jana and David’s bathroom.  He got a lot done.  The bathroom is really looking good.  He left the following Sunday so he could be home for Christmas.

Jana, David and I visited mom a couple of times.  Kevin joined us for one visit, and then he and Brian stopped to visit her later in the week. 

Thursday Jana had her hip replacement surgery.  She is doing just fine.  She came home yesterday (Sunday).  I went to WalMart and had her prescriptions filled.  She slept in her recliner last night and I slept on the couch so she would not have to go up or down the steps.  Tonight we are going to go upstairs to the bedrooms.  The physical therapist was here this morning and had her walk the steps both up and down.  It gave her a little more confidence. 

I also spent a couple of hours today cleaning the bathroom.  We all plan to take showers tonight.  Today was the first chance I had to get it done. 

Tomorrow I will be picking up mom and bringing her to the house for Christmas.  She will be spending the day with us. 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
