Where's my camera???

I would love to have a picture from our guild Christmas party last night, but again, I forgot my camera. I guess I am still living in the 70's thinking about taking a roll of film to the processor having them printed and all the trouble and expense.....it is so easy now there is no reason to take a million pictures...where is my head?

New Years Resolution: Take my camera whenever I leave the house.

Bee birthday at Bangkok Grill

Well, this is a picture of the restaurant and the lady who runs it shamelessly plugging her restaurant. The food was mediocre at best and had very little resemblance to real Tai food. The coconut soup tasted mostly like hot sauce and not at all like coconut. But I guess for a restaurant in Covington, one has to make it as generic as possible to stay in business.

On a happier note, a great time was had by all, we got to visit and exchange gifts and eat cake, what more can one ask. To C and L, Happy Happy Birthday! and hope we can all celebrate together for many more.

Brocolli

Isn't it amazing! I planted this about a month ago, and look what happened. Something in my garden did well, besides the basil and the peppers that are too hot to eat, that is. The brussell sprouts I planted are interesting, but not nearly as exciting as the brocolli.

I have gotten books about raising chickens and building chicken coops, and a book about goat raising, mostly for fun. But next spring will be the time to construct a coop and get a few chickens and have fresh eggs, that sounds very exciting as well.

Where has the time gone???????

I has been ages since my last post and alot has happened in that time. Mainly my desire to not deal with the bad stuff has kept me from coming back, but here I am and life is worth living again. In a nutshell, shortly after my last post, S developed diverticulitis and had surgery to remove part of his colon, three weeks later, he was back in the hospital with blood clots in both lungs and spent three days in ICU. After many months on blood thinners and another scare with his colon, we are finally feeling like things are getting better, and life is looking up. On the bright side I have lost 50 pounds in the last six months and feel much better, and my normal clothes fit again. My brother is moving here from California, for which I am very happy.



My children are healthy, my daughter has met and fallen in love with a wonderful young man, and no one close to me has died in the last year so life is good.



Maybe the good life will hang around for a while, and to make everyone smile, I am including a picture of Clare, the wonder dog. Enjoy!
