Food 4 Thought Friday


Breakfast
How did you ring in the New Year this year?
We gathered up the whole fam and went to my friend, Cyn's house. We played games all afternoon, evening, and into the wee hours of hours of the morning. I think we wrapped up about 3:00 a.m. We stumbled off to bed and then got up for a few more games before heading home. We had way too much fun, ate too many goodies, and had a wonderful time!
Lunch
How did you spend the first day of the New Year 2009?
After a great breakfast, we played a few more games and then we drove home and tried to recover for most of the day. I went into work for a few hours in the evening.
Dinner
Do you set New Year Resolutions?
I haven't sat down and written any resolutions down. Lately I have just been trying to make a more concerted effort to do a little better every day, and I'm trying to journal any progress I make.

Midnight Snack
What are your expectations for 2009?
I just want all of the people I love to find joy and happiness this year.
PLEASE PLAY !!!! Come on you know you want to!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
