03/27/06 Eyes and awnings

3/27/2006 LETTER TO BECKY

Hey how's it going? I haven't talked to you for awhile...since I was up

there I guess. That seems like a lifetime ago!

My eyes are not just right yet, sad but true. My right eye is about

perfect but my left eye had that problem with bleeding under the flap (hit a

blood vessel) and so I still have not great vision there. It is giving me

headaches but I am hopeful it will get better soon. Everybody keeps

telling me to just be patient but you know how good I am at that!

We are supposed to get our awning today or tomorrow - across the back of the

house. I think it will make the house cooler this summer. Andy thinks it

will feel a little claustrophobic and closed in...i hope not. We have had

problems with grass not growing and everything we put out back being ruined

by the extreme sun and heat. I am hoping this will help with all that...

We'll see!

Today is Dallas' b-day. He is very excited. The big 11. He got to go to

his first boy scout activity Saturday. My little guy is growing up!

I guess there is really not that much going on but it sure seems like life

is a big blur. What's up there? Write soon.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them. Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough). SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary. The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides. We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more. Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas). The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66. Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!! What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
