Savannah's Birthday

We went to Savannah's birthday today. Savannah had fun. She got lots of clothes and toys and a ballerina outfit. She had a Nemo cake. Her cousins and friends came.

Belated Birthday

We girls had a good time on Saturday going out to celebrate mine and Monica's belated birthdays. It was nice to visit, go to the movie and eat together. It ended all too quickly. We need to do things together more often. Life is short and you only live once. Somebody needs to organize this so we can be together about once month or at least every other month. Any volunteers?

Winter!

We are really having a hard winter this year. I hate it! Can't wait for Spring and to travel. Randy and I want to go to Seattle in April. My cruise is in March.

Randy and I have been having a good time together. He likes checking out all the food stores we have here. We went to Macey's yesterday and he says he's going shopping there from now on. We really enjoy watching TV together and movies. Though he has been a little depressed with this dark gray weather, I think he is doing better now. If can just get his stupid medical/medicare fixed then things would be much better. The cats are fine and have pretty much stopped fighting with each other. Dory, Matt's cat has fit right in now. It took her some time though.

I had to have my heater/air conditioner fixed in my bedroom and it cost me over $700! It seems the coil went out. There is always something. With it being so cold, my utilities are very high. Randy pays half of the utilities and food and everything for the cats. He cleans up after them and he is a neat freak. He is a morning person which I am not so when I get up, he has a lot already done. I am not used to having a guy clean up like he does.

Friday Birthday

Randy and I went to eat at Magleby's and to a movie called 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Not very good but better than some. It was a vampire movie. Thanks to all my kids who remembered my birthday and called me and gave me gifts. I love you all. I cannot believe I am 64. Next year I will have to go on Medicare!

I got new boots and shoes. It has been snowing so much here that I had to get boots. I hate winter so far. I think it is making Randy depressed being from Arizona and all. He is doing better with his depression but now he has what appears to be the stomach flu. We were going to go SLC on Sat and eat at The Black Angus but he can't eat anything, only drink liquids. He has now gotten a new Dr. here in American Fork and likes him. I had to get a new Dr. too. I really liked my old one. But he is leaving to be on the staff of a new hospital. So I got a new Dr. in American Fork too and she is Chinese. Her name is Yung Ling. I have not gone to her yet. I will on Tuesday.

We have 8 cats now!! Randy couldn't resist getting Dory, Matt's cat. She was so afraid of their dogs that she hid downstairs all the time. Randy couldn't stand that, so she is now here. She's really good and only comes out in the morning. The rest of the time she stays in her bed at the top of the stairs.

Randy's cat Bud has a abscess. We had to take him in to get it drained. He has special needs. He shakes all the time and is very skinny even though he eats a lot. He walks like he is lame and he seems to have a problem with his hips. He sometimes does not use the litter box and sometimes he sprays. The vet said he had a little problem with his kidneys and his pancreas but nothing serious whatever that means. No diabetes. His teeth are bad but Randy can't afford to have them fixed. He keeps hanging on and I guess he will live until he dies. He is Randy's favorite because he is so needy.

Matt and Kelly's Dogs

He has 3 dogs: Mater, a Blue Healer, Steiner, a Poodle Maltese and Guido, a Min Pin (Miniature Doberman) Min Pin is so small you can barely see him in the photos. Much smaller than a cat. Steiner looks like Sparky.

Fun Friday

Randy and I went to Thanksgiving Point. We ate at the Harvest Restaurant which is an upscale restaurant. We had tenderloin steak, mashed potatoes and a baked tomato stuffed with vegetables. We had dessert too. I had the creme burle. Randy had apple cobbler.

We then went to the dinosaur museum and to a 3-D movied called SEA MONSTERS. It was a very enjoyable Friday.

New Year

For New Year's Eve we just stayed home, watched a movie and ate snacks. For New Year's Day we are just staying home. That's what old folks do I guess. We like to do things during the week days and avoid the crowds.

Here are some photos I took from my new digital camera.
