How can it be so c.o.l.d. one day, and warm the next? Yesterday I was chilled to the bone even with a winter coat and beanie on. Today, I wore a light jacket and was tempted to take it off because the sun was too hot for comfort.
You never know what you'll see when you go for a walk. We walked through town and into a nearby neighborhood. I thought we would see more Christmas decorations, but most of the houses didn't have outside lights or decorations . My favorite decorations this year were the cow and donkey blow-ups.
There was a small petting zoo set up in town, but no animals. Maybe they will be there on the weekend.
Anyways D and I had nice weather and an enjoyable walk today.

Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Saturday! We are officially 1/3rd of our way home from Montana, stopped for the night in Rock Springs, WY last night after a drive through the Tetons. 🏔️ Today we drive to Moab, Utah and then make the long final stretch home tomorrow. It's been such a special trip. Miss you all, I'll be catching up on all the posts during the drive today.
Catch me up! How are you doing? What are your plans this weekend?
Happy Saturday evening Family!
I had a another nice day of rest and feeling so much better!
Slept in until close to 8 a.m. Coffee and devotions on my nice clean porch. Hubby left to spray the beans. I, then decided I could not stand the condition of the porch inside windows anymore, so spent over an hour cleaning those.
Helped Hubby back in the equipment. He mowed the front yard quickly before it started raining.
Then we went to the city for his haircut, and Sam's shopping. TRH for linner at 3:30 p.m. We went in early to get home before the forecasted storms.
It rained the whole time we were in town and I think has now stopped for a while at 8 p.m.
We came home and both napped for an hour.
I'm finishing up some laundry and that'll be the day.

Thanks for the prayers. I’m feeling much better. Hoping this new antibiotic resolves it. Omelette with chili and cheese for lunch, Greek yogurt and trip tip for dinner. I’ll be eating yogurt for a bit to help rebalance gut after the antibiotics . We went for a light workout at the neighborhood pool tonight. 🥰 Normally we swim at a nearby rec center. This was fun. PS my new swim suit has pockets which has me fascinated and confused lol.
