 Week 3 - January 15 - January21, 2024

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr...really cold this week.  School was closed every day.  Every day was really cold and icy and slippery.  We spent a lot of time inside!

I took a bunch of photos with snow - I want to frame this one and display it with three other photos depicting the woods in the four seasons.
























Swiss cowbells and Thai temple bells.













Lots of fog






















A guy from Prestige Installations (they do blinds/shutters/curtains/whatever for Home Depot.) came and measured our windows.  I felt guilty about how dirty one window was....don't remember ever cleaning it...





















Now that measurements have been taken, we'll go to Home Depot and order the mini blinds - which....will actually be custom sized to fit the windows rather than being 1-2 inches too small on each side.  If we're lucky the blinds will be installed around February 1.  I also spent lots of time painting three coats of polyurethane on the windows and on the frames around the windows...I feel like I have spent most of my adult life painting.

Jessica and Bev must have spent a lot of time going through old photos because they kept sending text to me with the photos.






















Family photo about 1988.











A very cool OCHS Letterman........searching for Easter Eggs.




























Jane, Ruby, and Holland spent an afternoon with us....they got bored at home.














Dad and I went stir crazy too and one evening we ended up at Rigobertos for dinner - I got my usual...carne asada and fries.





















Coming home we felt friendly enough to risk the slippery snow and went to the cottage to visit with Malcolm and Haley....and Jamie.
























































































Weekly photos of the cats.



























































































Sunday - January 21st - we celebrated Warren's 40th birthday.  Even though Whitney had told she would make a cake for him, he declined saying he had an idea he wanted to try - it would be a Lasagna Cake.  he lasagna noodles were carefully created strips of fondant, the hamburger was chocolate covered rice crispies, and the spaghetti sauce was red frosting.  amazing.





















It was quite tasty except for the fondant lasagna.




















Jamie came to attend his first birthday party celebration....for Warren.













Bev wanted to recreate an epic photo she had taken of Dad, Clara, Gretchen and Copeland (who was nine days old.  Photo was  taken in January 2020.














This one with Jamie was taken on January 21, 2014
