Marnie, I loved your invitations for your Oscar party...I wish we could come this year but with the situation with Gramma...and leaving her that next week at the assisted living, I think we will have to pass. It will be nice when we get her into the assisted living full time and we can come and go without massive prior arrangements. We'll try to make it next year...if you want some old folks there!!!

We had a great birthday/Superbowl party last night with the family here. Dad's apron with the handprints is wonderful...just the perfect gift! We ate way too much which I regreted all night...when will I ever learn? I started WW last week so today is a real catchup since I am going to be weighed tomorrow. The only downer to the party was the game results...everything was going against the Seahawks, the officials, the fans...and their kicker!!! Oh, well, there is always next year.

I had a RS lesson yesterday which I only have to do quarterly so I am glad that it is over. We are getting ready for our first Enrichment meeting of the new year in March...on the 21st. It will be tricky since I'll just be coming home from the trip to Idaho and Utah...but I should be home midday on the 20th.

We're looking forward to Mike arriving on Thursday...but not quite as much as Brooke and the girls!!!!

Love you all,

Mom
