So, let's go back. Well, we saw birthday's come and go. Kevon's was the 13th of January. He turned 41.
My nephew, Donny, had another birthday in heaven. I think of him often and miss his always. He was quiet, kind, handsome and so smart. He died too young.
This month we have two.... our sons-in-law! Brad had his on Tuesday the 5th and Joel is having his today! They are both awesome dads, husbands to our girls, and like sons to us!
It has actually been a pretty quiet past month.
- We are still eating low to no carb. I am still trying to figure out how to balance my blood sugar readings with my diet. I'll get there sooner or later.
- Papa had to go get a CT scan on his lungs. Here is some of what the doctor said : "Reviewed your follow up chest CT. Left upper lobe nodule is essentially stable (small 1 mm difference is within CT scan measure variation). You right posterior (back) nodule is also unchanged. The prior lymph node noted is slightly smaller. "
So I guess that is good. Glad he got it done.
- I started watching Celebrity Big Brother. I had said I wasn't going to watch it because I wasn't interested in the people on it but I did anyway.
I am actually enjoying it.
- We spent one day cleaning out the freezers. It is amazing some of the stuff we should have thrown out awhile ago. If we are not going to eat the leftovers by now, I don't think we will. haha! We have more room now.
- One day we drove up to Sequim to go to Costco. Filled the freezer back up. lol! It was such a nice drive. We thought it would be less crowded there than Silverdale but we were wrong. It was still crowded. Maybe going on a Saturday was our mistake. We spent less than $200 and stocked up on what we needed.
- I went to the medical center and had my blood drawn to get my A1C checked (blood sugar for my diabetes). I got the results back and it was lower! Normal readings are 4.5-5.6%. Mine was 7.4% which is 2 whole point down from last year. It is a 3 month average. Next time they check it I think they will be really happy with it!
- One of my oldest friends (Sherri Dumdei Forbes) and I went and had lunch together last week. It was so awesome to visit with her those couple hours! We laughed a lot. Talked about memories and our families. We both moved to Kingston in 1969 and have been friends ever since. We kind of lost touch over a few years but getting together with her is like we never did.
-My beautiful niece, Alyssa, got her hair cut after so many years with long hair! She looks older and just beautiful!!!!
- Did get some big news in our family! Heather and Don's son, Patrick (our grandson), asked his girlfriend Madi to marry him! We met her on Christmas and she seems very nice. He called to tell us the other night and sounded so happy!!!! They won't be getting married any time soon because he has school to finish.
- Amanda and I went to Jessica's baby shower. She is expecting a baby boy next month!!! She got so many onesies, and footies and diapers! And lots of cute outfits for him! And in the middle of the shower Kevon is on the phone with Amanda having her order the Car Seat / Stroller Jessie had her eye on. She was very happy and it arrived yesterday. Kevon loves those girls and he is such a wonderful man. So generous. I didn't get any pictures at the shower. That is not like me. lol
- Lauren is the last of the girls to finish drivers ed. She does so well I actually let her drive my van about a mile to her house. I was pretty impressed with how careful she does.
This is the kind of car she is going to buy from her aunty Meghan. She has been saving her money and is so excited. She loves these "toasters".
Madi has this car:
And Riley is already driving this one:
Lord, put your angels around the girls and their vehicles. Keep them safe. Amen.

| And then they grew up. |
Papa fell on the ice the yesterday. He was out walking Scruffy and fell flat on his back. He said his legs went out from under him. He is mostly sore on his right side but he didn't hit his head. Scruffy barked to draw attention from the neighbor Bill. He went out to find out if Lanny was ok. When they came in the house Scruffy usually runs to the door and jumps on it. This time he waited for papa on the porch. He knew something happened that shouldn't have happened. They love each other very much! This morning our neighbor, Rich, came over and sanded or deiced our driveway and porch. He is the nicest guy! He said he is going to buy some baking soda for our roof remove our moss. Speaking of nice... Brad came over again last Saturday and change Papa's oil again. He just doesn't know how much papa appreciates it!!!!

This cartoon reminds me of two things. Our hummingbirds were not happy when the feeder froze. We had to bring it in and thaw it. They weren't happy then either. We are trying to keep it thawed.
I don't always call Kevon at the most convenient times because he is always busy and working hard. Hopefully not like this guy! lol!
We had about 4 inches of snow. Snowed all day Sunday and Lauren and I watched movies and the snow. Her mom came and got her before the roads got too bad. It continued to snow through part of Monday. Schools were closed everywhere. Even the University of Washington closed. The ice is bad on the campus. So bad a 19 year old girl fell on it and hit her head and died. I told Dylan to be super careful going to the gym and classes and his dorm. I love snow but I hate what the ice can do. In our area we have big hills and lots of trees that keep the roads bad. Now wer are suppose to get more snow tomorrow and Saturday.
I had to cancel our class reunion meeting for Saturday and our family Asian dinner. I don't want anyone to think of driving out and about on Saturday.
Today Papa and I are making this for lunch. Not exactly carb healthy but winter snow healthy. lol!
Have a great day, weekend, month etc.... Hope to write again soon!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY COMING UP!!!!
