Mouse in the House

I may not have written a journal entry or have done a lot of things I should today, but I have photographic documentation of the intruder in my house. I wish he weren't so cute because I MUST do away with him.

Isn't this the cutest? It came today -- a Valentine from our youngest granddaughter! (It's also her Dad's birthday today!)

 The sunshine of the last couple of days has really opened the Flowering Plum all over town. Against the clear blue skies of today, the trees along the river looked magnificent.

Many business cards from Stamp 'n Stuff days were weeded out of my Rolodex.

Linnette sent a cute Valentine package; the tag said "My dear sister, I have loved you right from the GECKO {heart}."

I finished one Relief Society/Humanitarian knit hat and started another.

I finished and sent off most of the Valentines today. Note the patch of sunlight; it is the first we have seen in many days. It was beautiful today.

Beth didn't call tonight, so I watched a new episode of "Castle."

Aubrey turns one next week. I finished this soft, cuddly, minke bear for her this morning and got him sent off this afternoon. Now I just hope he gets there in time.

POTD - Thursday, 4 February 2010

 

I started a rather complicated Valentine but finished one in time to get it sent off to Beth. I hope that it reaches her in Taiwan before Valentines' Day.

When my old watch was two hours behind today, I was done giving it "one more chance." I bought this on the way home from Church.

With the exception of the wreaths and the Christmas tree, which are in the basement, all of the Christmas "stuff" is boxed and stacked in the girls' room.

This is a screen shot of Beth on Skype. Although it was Sunday evening for me, it was between Monday morning classes for Beth. She pointed to the sun pouring in through the windows and said that it was getting hot there in Hualien this morning.

Yipee, skipee! After 25 minutes on live chat with a Franklin Covey technician, I have my Franklin back on my computer. That makes me happy!

I also finished a puzzle I have been working on for several days. It is more fun to do one with family (or at least someone else), but it wouldn't have been the Christmas season without doing one puzzle -- or more!

POTD -- Thursday, 7 January 2010

"Friday Friends" (LaVerne, Pat, and Bobbe) had to meet on Thursday this week because LaVerne is getting married on Saturday and thought that it might be too much if we met tomorrow.

"I Cry the Day I Take the Tree Down." (Michael McLean, The Forgotten Carols) I love our Christmas tree, but it is good this year to put it away, even though it took the help of friends, Wayne and Kathy, to accomplish that.

POTD - Sunday, 3 January 2010

All of the children were in on the Family Conference call today. Even Beth joined, via Skype, from Taiwan during a break in her Monday morning classes.

[When I figure out how to get pictures off the cell phone, there will be a picture here. In the meantime. . .]

Beckie Hernandez (a friend from Solid Waste District days), Myra (her step-daughter), and Alex (Myra's son) took me out for a birthday lunch at Kum Yun's.

The new year was rung in to the tune of pots and pans over at the Marchants. Also there were the McBrides, the Taylors and several youth from the ward and high school.
