Well, it's hard to believe the last post was the 16th and now we're at the 29th of January! Guess it means not a lot of excitement going on here at the homestead :) It's flying by though!

Sunday we awoke to a dusting of snow! Most of it's gone now, so just perfect! |
It's been really cold here some mornings as low as 6 degrees and some highs in the 30's. Ken's keeping the fires burning so we are nice and toasty inside. Even though the outside temps don't keep him from finding things to do out there!
Ken had a cardiology appointment last Friday with his Physician's Assistant Jennifer. Everything looks good! No more AFIB, the ablation seems to have fixed that problem. They are still keeping him on the same meds, blood thinner, blood pressure, water pill and cholesterol (even though he doesn't have high cholesterol at all) it's to protect the heart. He'll see her in 6 months and sees his regular cardiologist in March. Such a difference from last year at this time! 😊
We ran yesterday to Carson City so he could get fasting blood tests done. Results were in last night and all his numbers are fantastic! 😊
Last Sunday of course, was Champagne Sunday here. We woke to SNOW! Ken made a nice fire in the outdoor kitchen and we spent alot of the day out there. He barbecued delicious cheeseburgers and we were really bad and had fries and onion rings. Once in awhile, you just have to!

I had mine on a low carb tortilla, with guacamole, amazing! |
Adam came home from the Southern California last Thursday after 14 days of 14 to 16 hour days. I don't think he'll be going back anytime soon. The worst was the traffic in that area. He's done. LOL. He had 5 days off and today is his first day back to work.
January 19th was my sister Wendy's birthday so sister Linda and family took her to lunch. Probably the last time, as Wendy moves to Arkansas on April 7th.

Brother in law Bobby in the back, Chelsea, Wendy and Dusty Cassidy and Owen in the front! 💗 |
January 19 was also daughter in law Christina's birthday and the 13th was daughter-in-law Cheryl's birthday. The 31st is grandson Mason's 20th birthday! How did our grandsons get so old already!?
Cheryl's granddaughter Mia graduated from Esthetician school last week. Congratulations! Mia was always Baby Mia to us for many years. No baby any more!
Looks like the same landscape colour that we have.
ReplyDeleteI remember Ken with his heart issues. Glad to see he's doing much better.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thank you Rick and Kathy!
DeleteOmg. I remember asking who Baby Mia was and now she will be starting a career...wow!
ReplyDeleteSorry for anonymous...that was me...Elva
DeleteThat's funny, I remember that too! :) All grown up now!
DeleteYeuch, you can keep the snow. I don't miss that at all! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteKen's plate looks yummy and I agree that I would be 'bad' too. The onion rings and fries, oh my! ♥
I knew you wouldn't like it LOL. Yes, the burger and onion rings were incredible! Fries too! :)
DeletePS - congrats to Ken on his test results in both cases!! Yay! A wonderful change from last year indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Patsy. It was so scary last year and so different now :)
DeleteYAY Ken!!! Glad to hear the good news. I'd celebrate with a burger too!! You have family far and wide. I don't know how you keep up with all those birthdays!!! Congrats Mia!!! I love to LOOK at the snow, I just don't want to be IN it much!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy! It seems we get just enough to look pretty and then it's gone! Sure wouldn't want to live in it for sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat news on the test results! Your snowy landscape is beautiful!
