Events of January

January is almost gone.  It's been a month with cold weather and nice weather...snow and rain.  We've been working, relaxing and overall just enjoying the month!!

We had a great weekend when Mike, Amanda, Dane and Nora and Ben and Jen came to visit.  With the Anderson's living closer we look forward to more opportunities to spend time together as a family.

Nora is helping Grammy make caramel rolls!

Little Miss Sugar Face with those beautiful blue eyes....The sugar and cinnamon

on the caramel rolls tastes good!

              

Just hangin' out....

Grammy had found this awesome little starter guitar recently

and Dane thinks it is great to play with Uncle Benny.

Dane shared his little guitar with Jen.

Grampy enjoying some time with the little snuggle bug.

Nora just loves to snuggle!

The weekend after Pearl turned 50 her sweet hubby spoiled her and took her to a lodge.  It was very relaxing including a wonderful massage at the spa!

 

Our wonderful friends Bruce and Rhonda also spent a night at the lodge. 

A Godiva chocolate basket from them to console the 50 year old!

We had the renewal spa room which had a whirlpool tub and fireplace. 

Both felt fantastic on that cold weekend.

There was even live music Saturday evening in the lobby/sitting area.

This is the mean thing that happened on Pearl's 50th birthday. While visiting a patient in her home, the neighbor backed out of his driveway and ran into the Jetta!  Never mind that Pearl is old now and didn't see that she was parked in a "no parking zone."  It was a stormy blustery day and really no options of where to park, but honestly didn't see the no parking sign.  Our body man will soon have the Jetta looking as good as new! 

Wonder what it would take to fix up Pearl's 50 year old body?!!!

This is how 2010 greeted us....BRRRRRR!

                 Brian and Julie spent New Years weekend with us. 

We decided to celebrate at home with steak and lobster. 

                       Brian was a pro at preparing the lobster tails.                    

                                  

Lobster tails ready to broil.

Yummy!!
