Where To Begin

It hasn’t been just a while – it’s been quite a while since I updated my blog.  I have decided to just give an overview of the past few days/weeks to get caught up.  Then, hopefully, I will get back on track.

Christmas Eve we went to Mass at St. Patrick’s.  It was the children’s Mass and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was different from what we experienced in Cincinnati.  After Mass the children were in costumes from sheep to Mary and Joseph.  One of the parishioners told the story of the birth of Jesus and the children re-enacted it.  Kevin and Renea also joined us for Mass.  Bruce, Jennifer and their children were there also.  Afterwards Bruce and family went home and Kevin, Renea, Jana and I ordered pizza, picked it up and ate at Kevin/Renea’s.  We had a really nice evening.  Jana and I then came home and had our Christmas (exchanging gifts). 

Christmas morning we went to Kevin/Renea’s for breakfast and gift exchange.  Stephanie and Ryan were both there.  Renea had fixed a French toast casserole and bacon along with orange juice.  We had a lot of fun.  (I even got the printer I asked for.  It was from Kevin and family and Brian and family.  THANK YOU!)  Later Jana and I came home because Kevin and family were going to Bruce’s for Christmas dinner.  Jana and I elected not to join them.  We were invited.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s was quiet except for one day.  Jana had started feeling pretty bad so we went to the Urgent Care in Tigertown.  Turns out she had the flu.  She was given a shot and two prescriptions.  While in Tigertown we had her prescriptions filled, stopped at Kroger and Office Depot.  Then we came home and hunkered down for the week.

New Year’s Eve was quiet for us.  We were in bed by 10:30 p.m.  Didn’t see the ball drop.  We figured it would be 2017 even if we slept through the midnight festivities, and we were right.  New Year’s Day was also a quiet day.  We have been watching quite a bit of football.  Alabama won.  Ohio State lost.  Green Bay won.  Bengals won.  Tonight is Auburn. 

Jana is feeling much better.  Today is her last day for her medicines.  She still has a cough, it isn’t as bad as it was.  We plan on taking it easy again today.  She has to get better because we have too much to do for her to be sick!

No pictures were taken so I don’t have any to post.  However, I do have some Penny and Mattie stories and pictures.  Will get to that later.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
