1-16: Addy came over this morning while Paula went to exercise. Her surgery spot is bothering her again.  Addy wanted hot cakes after she decided the bowl of cereal she had already eaten didn't fill her up so we mixed up a batch.  She ate 3.  Tomorrow they are going swimming in Aberdeen, with Addy's CC school buddies.

Arlota and I went to Olympia to get Lil Smokies to take to Bethene's memorial service.  I am also going to make Pumpkin bread.  There is a Fellowship meeting at our church tomorrow night so I need to make enough p bread for that too.  Got home before three, ate lunch and now we're ready for a nap.

1-15: Snowflakes I crocheted after church last night. I haven't crocheted for 15+ yrs at least.  I want to make a snowflake garland for Christmas tree 2014! I'm not satisfied with the ones I did last night. Hopefully I will get better with practice.  I also want to learn to tat some. Colleen say she has an instruction book I can borrow.  

Oops! Don't know what I did to indent that paragraph.  Have to figure that out!  Something else to learn.

Burton's sister, Arlota, came up from Redding, CA for their sister Bethene's funeral. Bethene passed away Friday, Jan 10th at 6 PM.  She had heart complications and gallbladder problems. Bethene was 86 years old. The family is planning to have a service on Fri for the immediate family, a service on Sat for everyone & a memorial service the next Sat in Shelton. Things are still in the planning stages.

Arlota is here, Wayne may come down tomorrow so the week is starting out with a bang! I'm going to try to get the rest of the Christmas stuff fettered out and put away.  Just when I think I've got everything together I find something else.  Aaaaargh!

I got my kitchen somewhat cleaned out and the laundry room partially done. I've laid down the law and threatened everyone that makes a mess. Plan to finish my computer desk tomorrow.  Lots of things to do this year.  Time to get cracking!

Wow, a whole year and I didn't add anything! How crazy is that! Actually I did post a little in 2013 but it was under a different date and I just put it all together. I was a 'reduction in staff' April 18th, 2013.

I plan on doing like David McLain and using this for my journal.  2014 Journal entries coming soon! It's too late to start tonight, it's already after 12PM.

Aunt Bethene passed away today at 6PM so there's no telling what tomorrow holds. . .thank God I know he holds tomorrow!  Good night!
