Merry Christmas 2023

Santa is back to the North Pole sleeping.  This holiday came and went as I write this.  We started Saturday evening with a steak dinner and salad.  We opened one gift.

On Christmas eve we went to church at 9 am for the service.  Afterwards we got pizza for Brady and burritos for Riley, Kari, and I for lunch.  Mexican food is a tradition.  I ate half and saved some for later.

Around 5pm, they left to meet uo with Riley's dad, sister, and brother at a bowling party.  They were home again by 7:30 pm.

We opened presents and ate a little before going to bed.

Today Riley and I made brunch.  A hash brown, egg, and bacon dish... it turned out well.  But with all things new, we decided what we'd do different next time.

Riley cooked the salmon and I made green bean casserole for a tradition.  Most things Kari and I can't eat but we have a little of the regular food on days like today.  Hopely not being into cakes and cookies etc will help us maintain our weight.

It was a great Christmas.  And now this week I will set my intentions again.  Not resolutions but intentions.  My mind plans through March.  The whole year is too hard.

Leon - Family

Image
We have two kitties.  You've met Toby.  This is Leon.  We rescued him in 2011.  He'll be 12 years old.  He's has been nervous and scared all his life.  We actually found him hiding under his little box in his cage.  It took him years to be truly loving towards us.  He acts like a big brother to Toby.  You can find them playing at 5 am, or Leon licking Toby's face, or Leon backing off his food so Toby can have some.  He loves to go to curl up with Kari or lay at the foot (on top) of my bed.  He's our senior cat.  We love him ❤️

Goodbye August Hello September

Yesterday was Young at Heart.  Then the boys and I went to Denny's to get our birthday breakfast.  It was fun to spend time with both boys at the table. I believe we should do that more often.   I then dropped off library books and went to Trades Joes.  Later I took a good nap.  Wednesday I didn't do much at all.  I did begin to reassess goals extra due to the month and season changing.

Brady's Flowers

Riley started something with giving flowers.  Today Brady and I (Brady drove) to Trader Joe's and he bought his friend Angel some flowers.  It was all him.  He thought Riley was a good roll model.  He'll give them to her tomorrow at a BBQ at her family's house.
