Our son, David, and his family joined us on New Year's day. Of course, we had the traditional pork and sauerkraut dinner.
My two nieces, Brooke and Ashley, and the the love of their lives.
Three of the grandchildren finding something good to eat.
My sister, Jill and her husband, Barry, they have been married a year now and it's so good to see my sister soooooo happy.
Our neighbors (Donna and Davis) stopped by Christmas morning and got to see Nicky opening some of his presents.
My boy does enjoy his Christmas!!!
With a face like that who could ever say no?
Jane, this is for you. I want you to look very closely at these dishes. Remember the 15 cent dishes?
On January 1 my nephew, Steve, his wife, Kelly, and their son, Simon, always do the polar bear dip. Yes, that is ice you see on the pond just beyond them.
Now you can see the ice on the pond. Fortunately, it was warmer outside that day than it had been in 2 weeks.
So as of now, this is the view from my sun room. It's still very pretty but not my first pick of scenery. Of course, this pales in comparison to Jane's sun room with the giant icicles hanging down.
All in all it has been a nice holiday season. Good times with the family, good fellowship with friends and continued progress in Physical Therapy for my new knee. It is now 9 weeks since my surgery and I am still in PT 3 times a week. I am finally mostly out of pain and thanks to some pills from the Doctor I am getting some sleep at night. What a difference that makes!!!We are also so thankful this holiday season for Keith Richards successful surgery and continue in prayer for a speedy recovery for him.
We thank God for our many blessings and remember you all in our prayers.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
JUDY AND LEE
