The Week In Review Reposted from 2009, a trip down memory lane
Sunday, December 27th
Ethan, our oldest grandson celebrated his 21st birthday. Following the family tradition both sets of grandparents,the brothers and Boy Genius and his wife gathered together for cake and ice cream after we braved the snow covered roads.
Monday, Dec. 28th
I went for a hike through the freshly fallen snow
Bella led the way leaving tracks that looked like snow shoe prints as she hopped and left the imprint of here pudgy little body as she struggled in the deep snow.
Gorgeous scenery, great views, making the hike wonderful.
Tuesday the 29th
Yvonne invited the Forget Me Nots for brunch.
Here is Judy Judy, Linda, Lucy, Yvonne, Hutch and in front is Miss Brooks and Kackie Dee. Donna took the picture.
Yvonne was going to pose sitting on the floor but found she could not get up…or maybe she was trying to get down…nevertheless it makes for an interesting picture doesn’t it?
Wed. Dec.30th
Grandpa invited our 5 grandsons for the cardboard pizza and root beer float supper he enjoys fixing. I listened in as he called the boys and told them this time would be different than other times. This time they’d throw away the pizzas and eat the boxes. I had the seasoned meat for tacos ready and the boys and grandpa prepared the rest.
*update* Grandpa has this Thursday, Jan 6th scheduled for another cardboard pizza night. He has the boys here twice a year, once in winter and then in summer, guess you’d call it a tradition.
They played traveling bingo
It became rather rowdy
But everyone ended up with a prize.
Today is Dec.31 New Years Eve. It has been a good year.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
We do not know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds tomorrow
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you!

Great photos! Quite a week. I can’t believe GS #1 is 21. Wow. The oldest great grandkid is 21. I’m digesting this. Thank goodness we have some just in the single digits yet. I enjoyed your post.
A great way to finish the year. The cardboard pizza sounds great! Happy New Year to you and Fritz!
Another great post, dear friend. Best wishes for a wonderful and happy new year — but most of all that you would see God at every turn, giving you His Blessing, His Wisdom, His Peace. Take care!
It has been too long since I have checked in with you on Xanga. Loved catching up. May I stay caught up in 2010!
Looks like good times have been transpiring out there! I hope your next year if full of health and happiness and lots of good hiking!
I am jealous of your beautiful snow! We had it predicted but didn’t get it. You are certainly blessed with grand-boys….they’re a great-looking bunch, of which you should be rightfully proud. Happy New Year to you!
Love the pics…you must live somewhere North, like I do…

Those are great pictures. Thanks so much for your kind words and prayers. I’ve been taking pictures of my swollen joints, rashes, etc for proof next time they send me off to the Rheumy again. Sure didn’t expect this to become the roller coaster ride it’s become since the initial diagnosis last March. Sheesh!!! If only we could have used all that money for something fun like a cruise around the world or something. Take care and Happy New Year!!!
Wonderful pictures. You have quite a crew of young men there. I’m sure they can eat the pizza and the cardboard. Looks like you had a great week. Wishing you a very Happy New Year.
New game is started on Scrabble!
