3:38PM - Family Ties
Well, I have been doing much family research lately. It is really interesting and a lot of fun. I have discovered a cousin who lives in Bermerton, Washington who grew up in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Her Great-great grandmother is my Great grandmother so we are 2nd cousins once removed. Her aunt Inez was my dad's favorite cousin. Small world.
Well, I have found this website where the Clark County Wisconsin connections can research their families. They have input so much information that is very useful to a genealogist. They have asked me to be a volunteer and input data. I am really looking forward to it. They are excited too because my grand aunt was the head librarian at their library for many years.
They are treating me like some sort of celebrity. I wonder how long before I get too busy.

8:06AM - Indescent Exposure
Let me know how the gig goes. Terry told Oldfrodo all about the upcoming performance. Didn't mention a word of it to me, nor did anyone else. Hmph! Well, tell me all about it.
Snowed here last night. Not much. You can still see the grass. But Raca was very curious. She slipped all over the deck and didn't stay out very long thismorning. Sure glad we have electricity and a tank full of oil and wood, just in case. God is good.
Love you all

7:47AM - Two days 'til Christmas
Hurry up Christmas, I really can't wait!
There's a lot more to that poem but I can't remember right now. The child goes on to give very obvious clues to each gift she has for her parents and siblings. It's really cute. My mother used to say it. It must be GENERATIONS old.
But I am looking forward to Christmas. Tomorrow we decorate the church. That will be fun. My Son3 and his wife2 and his children2 and 3 and stepchildren2 and 3 are coming down. I am anxious to see how they like their presents.
I am also looking forward to hearing how JIC and her Son1,2,3 like their presents.
My Son1 will be coming down after Christmas and I hope bring his Son1 with him.
Oldfrodo's Christmas gift was shipped yesterday from NV and should be here in 3-5 days. I would love it if they delivered it tomorrow but I should suppose it will come when it will come. Oldfrodo knows it's a new Dell and he can hardly wait.
I want to get a Christmas tree with fiberoptic lights. I'd also like one you don't have to assemble but would just fold up neatly until next year. We have so few decorations up. Next year we will be more able bodied, God willing, and we will make up for this year.
Our hearts are still rejoicing in the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, even if the house is not all aglow with lights.
Merry Christmas to all.

12:25PM - Christmas came early
JIC and Son1,2,3 were here for the weekend and it was great! We sent their presents home with them and they gave us ours. It is so good to see them. I wish they lived closer so we could do things like have lunch together and go shopping.
Schools have a much better selection of elective subjects in the Portland area than we do on the southern Oregon coast. The state should make sure that all of the schools in Oregon are equal and that they should be the best in the USA. Oregon did have the best schools in the US in the 1950's. So I suppose it is wise to stay in the bigger city at least for the next 10 years.
I hope we get to see the rest of the family before Christmas or at least during Christmas.
I am feeling better but still need to take it easy. The doctor said to use common sense and don't do anything foolish.

8:31PM - Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Carrie and the kids were here and fixed our dinner. Lots of wonderful leftovers.
We bought a new Craftmatic bed which we hope will arrive next week. (7-10 days)
Shopped for new bedding today. I am looking forward to a better rest. Shopping nearly did me under. My leg and hip are hurting this evening. See the doctor next Friday and hope that I will be released with a clean bill of health. I'm supposed to be taking iron but my stomach objects. I will wait for my stomach to heal and start again. I don't want to have to call the other doctor again for awhile. Hate this doctoring. I want to live the next 20 years full of good health and not filled with chemicals produced by a bunch of drug companies pushing their products. So please continue to pray for me.

We go to church convention in the morning. Oldfrodo will be the delegate and queenpeil will be the alternate. Mostly I will lie in bed and watch the ocean from the Penthouse at Worldmark/Trendwest in Seaside. Really love this timeshare.
I've felt a little rocky today. All of the medication I'm taking causes dizziness. I am rather relaxed as well. Hope to be finished with the Cipro today. Last dose is tonight at bedtime. Endocet also causes dizzness but I only take it when I am having pain which is infrequently now. Tylenol seems to handle it ok.
Had lunch with Aunt Joyce today. She brought 2 years worth of birthday presents and also picked up the tab for lunch. Very nice. Pancake Mill gave us complementary strawberry shortcakes because we were birthday girls.
Love u

1:22PM - Happy day
Today is my birthday. It has been great. JIC sent a package with a hand crocheted wrap for me. I suspect it was hand made buy JIC. Oldfrodo says he needs to go buy something for me. Had lunch with Jackie. She like the wrap from JIC also.
Sun is shinging. I am ready for my nap. God is good!

5:53PM - Nothing ventured, nothing gained
This is my first attempt to post in my new journal created by my darling, JIC, just for me. I love the logo!
I am still operating on a limited activity level imposed by my neurosurgeon. However, I am feeling really well. The Physician's Assistant said that is a real red flag. People who are feeling really well are apt to overdo and not progress as quickly as they should so I am following the doctor's orders as closely as possible.
Just getting to this point has cost me my 15 minutes of sitting allowed at this time.
I love you guys.
