Relaxing Saturday


We called first thing this morning to see when Keith got to Phoenix. He got home at 1:00 with nothing uneventful happening along the way. We have not done a lot today. I got my Christmas tree and decorations up this afternoon.

Leslie said Scott and Becky left at 11:00 yesterday. I spent yesterday afternoon stripping beds and doing laundry. Also noticed the dryer vent was leaking air so I wrapped some duct tape around it after cleaning it all out. Bob fixed the kitchen faucet which needed tightening up.

The animals settled down after the small child and her mother left yesterday morning. Mia made them very nervous. Missy hid all day.

Yesterday afternoon we went over to the Avery's to see our nieces, nephew and great nephew. I had not seen Diana in several years. I had never met her male friend. He seems very nice. Jeff, her son, is as zany as always. Dennis, our nephew was also there. We had a nice visit.

Our brother-in-law has been told by his cancer doctor that after he has his next colonoscopy, he will recommend treatment for his non Hodgkin Lymphoma. Although it has not grown or spread they have "watched" it long enough. He will either take radiation or chemotherapy. They will tell him which at that appointment in February. they have "watched" it over a year now. That worries me. I have never heard of cancer going away by being "watched".

I went over our budget this morning. We really blew it over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Today we are not doing much of anything. That feels good.

Hi Margie,
Doesn't it feel good to just relax? I didn't fix a turkey on Thursday, so I have one in the oven right now. The house smells so good.
Have a restful day.

Thanks, Balisha. I burned a candle at home this morning before church. It too made te house smell good. I'll bet that turkey smells better though!
