Day Nine 2012















"Living without faith is like driving in a fog." ~ proverb

Day Eight 2012









Neil and I visited five week old grand peep Knox, daughter Kelly and son in law Kerry Sunday afternoon--an impromptu day trip. We went to 'Toots' for supper when Kerry got off work. Somehow, Knox managed to fall asleep in the middle of this crazy-loud restaurant full of football fans watching Tebow pull off yet another one. He even slept through all the servers who clapped and sang a birthday song to somebody at the table right next to his car seat. Unbelievable.








Back at the house, he eventually woke up and became so upset that he was inconsolable. We thought giving him a bath would soothe him, and it did. For a while. His mommy finally swaddled him (as his daddy Kerry says, there is power in the swaddle! And for those of you who are not familiar with this, it is wrapping a baby snugly in a large cloth so he can't move his arms and legs). Not too long after that, he suddenly stopped crying and fell asleep. Almost like a switch being turned off. I do hope the three of you got some sleep/rest! Love you guys. Hope to see you again soon!

Day Seven 2012



Hey, look at us, hubby Neil and I, eatin' fresh for lunch as they say at Subway. Low fat subs are a great way to lose some pounds around the middle. If I have a new year's resolution, it is that.
And I've got to say, I've never felt safer while having lunch in a restaurant than I did today. The National Guard dropped in for a bite, too. Pretty cool.

Day Six 2012














This 60-plus degree weather couldn't be more welcome the first week in January (or on any winter day for that matter). The sun is out. The sky is blue. (I think that's a line from a Beatles song) It felt like spring time. The older I get, the more I appreciate mild winter weather. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Five 2012

















Sharing some yummy Mae Pearl's Frozen Yogurt with my grandpeeps, Elijah and Shelby, this afternoon was the highlight of my day. That, and finally getting my new car radio/CD player installed. I've missed listening to talk radio.
