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!

"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 got everything Christmas out of the attic and am attempting to sort, reduce, and pack what remains. It is a mess that is going to be around for a few days.

"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.

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.
