Good bye 2007!

The last day of the year. I am so glad 2007 will be over. It started off with us sick and it was a rough year. There were some highlights....going to Colorado, my brothers sobriety and getting his life together, going to grandkids soccer, football and baseball games, Lanny's recovery, my brother in law Don's recovery, Mom getting better, Ryan and Amanda moving back home, got to see Doug and Betty, and ending with Kevon asking Meghan to marry him! Won't even discuss low points because it does no good. I am just going to count my blessings and pray we'll even see more in 2008 for all of us!!! I am so excited for our party tonight! We're going to end the year with good friends. So far coming is Ron & Sharon, Jake & Patty, Bob & Nancy, Andy & Francie, Ken & Nancy, Cal & Bev, and Craigmont and Cindy! It will be fun! Good friends, good food, and lots of laughs. Got lots of cleaning to do first. Didn't get to mom's yesterday because I have a screw in my tire and Lanny needs to take it to Les Schwab this morning. I wish I knew someone that kept a journal every day like I do so I could read. Karla is maybe twice a week, Heather once a week or longer, and Amanda about once a month...and Tara & Meghan don't even have one. If anyone I know out there reading this has one....let me know! I'd love to check it out! Well, friends and family ....I hope you have a wonderful New Years celebration...however you chose to bring in 2008! May God bless the year ahead for you all bringing you peace, happiness and good health!

Wow, it was 59 degrees in here when I got up. Cold!!! We went to Betty's retirement party yesterday. That was really nice. Saw some people we haven't seen in a while and met some new ones! Tara and Jolyn did a great job with the food, etc.... and Betty looked so happy! Papa had to go to work. I went to Karla's for a little bit and checked out the kids Christmas Presents. That Dylan has quite a little cozy set up in his room! I could live in there! Came home and did much of nothing. Today we are staying away from church. I need to or I will not take the two weeks break I am suppose to be taking. Lanny and I are going to take time this morning to listen to Pastor Barry's message on the website and talk about plans for the year ahead and changes and how we're going to implement them. I need to go to mom's and help her rearrange things. Well....I hope your day is nice with only good surprises. God Bless!

Grandma got a cat!

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I started out checking out Craigs List for jobs and cats (I've been looking for a cat for mom....companionship with low maintenance). I found a 4 year old cat in Poulsbo that is sweet and a total lap cat. She is a bit on the pudgy side but has been fixed, had all her shots and totally housebroken. She hasn't been outside too much so we'll see on that later. I am posting a picture. Mom agreed to go look at her but had pretty much decided on getting her already....since we went to WalMart first for cat food and cat litter. They supplied a nice bed, food, her bowl, toys, a cat carrier, and litter box. When I left mom's the cat was hiding under her bed after exploring a bit. Libby went over and got her out but she went back under. I told mom she was going to take over her cave (what dad called her bedroom). It will take some getting used to. I think they'll be good for each other.

That's about all that happened yesterday. Today not much is going on. We're going to Betty's retirement party (Brad's mom). Lucky her! I'm looking for work and she is retiring. No rehearsal for me tonight! I am taking 2 weeks off from KidStuf. It will be nice. Well....have a wonderful Saturday! This week has gone fast!
