Last week of January 2009

Well, where did this week go? Not the best of weather at the beginning of the week, but it ended beautiful. The highlight of the week was getting our new microwave put in. Of course dad had to put it in and that is never easy. He did a great job and we made popcorn today to test it. Thursday, my retired girlfriends and I went bowling. Fun fun fun. Believe it or not, I am sore. Geeze how out of shape can you get. Sat, today, we went cross country skiing. Beautiful weather. Sophie had a blast. Superbowl tomorrow and I guess I will root for Phoenix cause I wish I were in Phoenix so.....why not?

January 27 Cold Cold Craig

I haven't been very good about "blogging" so here I am. I have been very busy. I know people who are retired should have time.....but I don't. We have blown up our microwave, started a fire trying to heat a coffee pot on the stove (no microwave), getting snowtires on the truck, making birthday dinner for Lauren who is 24. No microwave, buying a microwave, installing a microwave, picking up the microwave in Steamboat.....Getting Roger a haircut, trying to exercise.....Bowling on Thursday, gotta find a bowling shirt first. Lauren and Joe closed on their first house which I will try to include a picture (?). Their house number is the same as Chris and Ang's. I think this is hard as.....Chris and Ang, you are the only 2 who read this.....Oh well.....I am blogging.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAUREN! Nice house.

Report on Weekend

Where did the weekend go? Cross country skied with Janele on Friday afternoon after shoveling Friday morning after falling Thursday night. My body is crying for mercy (or a potato chip). Had my last day with Maddie or (Marley as we like to call this gorgous puppy). So, we got Chinese food for dinner Friday night as neither of us felt like cooking or going out.

Saturday morning....coffee at 10. We met at McDonalds as Serendipities was closed. Lively discussion. Did the %^&*( grocery shopping for the week. Made yummy chicken noodle soup with Susan Whinery's homemade noodles. Lauren ate with us as Joe is basketballing it all weekend. Vegged all night.

Sunday, read the paper, read my book, and then went to Bride Wars with Lori Rugh and Janele. I liked it. Not a great movie but enjoyable for us girls.

I am posting a picture of Sophie and her Texan boyfriend, Maddie. Don't be jealous Tucker. Sophie has enough love for all.

Thursday Beautiful Day in Craig

The sun came out and it was warm and beautiful today. I did home stuff this morning and then went on a walk this afternoon. As beautiful as it was it was pure slush. Messy and....I can't believe I am going to say this.....but we need new snow so I can ski. I am going to go tomorrow with my friend Janele. It has to be better than walking...and Sophie can go.

After my walk, I came home and dog sat, Maddox, Sophie's little buddy from Texas. Good dog and I will miss him when he goes back.

Made good old American Tacos tonight but since Pete got home at 7, I was so hungry, I ate too much. Nuff for now......Love to all

Cold, Frigid Sunday

It was too cold to go skiing today for Whole Grain Spaghetti with Szechuan Peanut Sauce. Ugh it was awful thick and peanutbuttery. Tried my new garlic chopper which is marginal. Not that great, like the recipe. Dad and I and the dogs have all shades pulled and the fire going and are crossing our fingers for no frozen pipes. Love to all and stay warm........ Wishing we were back in Las Vegas.
