Happy New Year!

Christmas has come and gone and now it's New Year's Day. Vegging on the couch & thinking about how we used to stay up late & feel fine the next day. Ralph is watching the Chicago Blackhawks team playing Detroit Red Wings hockey team, outdoors at Wrigley (baseball) Field.
Trying his hardest to stay awake. :-)



We had a small NY Eve party here last nite - wonderful friends, great food & drinks....and Wii competition! Well, gosh, if nursing homes can have Wii competitions, so can Wii (we) as Sandy would say! Watching everyone play is as funny as trying to play the games yourself. I think the cow races were the fave.



We had a little extra excitement last nite when we had to call 911. EMS crew arrived & whisked our friend Chuck off to the hospital. His BP was dangerously low, etc. He was admitted & is undergoing tests. And, probably fearful...not only of his test results but of his wife Ellen's "wrath." A true competitor, Ellen was geared up to win the Wii competition and was busily enjoying the beer sampling portion of the evening when EMS arrived. We've told Ellen there will be a "do-over" Wii event just for them as soon as Chuck is able. Prayers for Chuck & Ellen.



Katie & Troy will be home from Pasadena tonite with lots of stories and pictures. Can't wait to see them both. We missed them at Christmas this year. I know how much Troy will have enjoyed seeing his sisters and families this year. They got to meet a new niece, Claire, who looks adorable in her pics.



And, this weekend we will be celebrating little Zachary's 3rd b-day! Our youngest grandchild is giving his parents plenty of gray hair. His middle name is Trouble & he's so darn cute it's hard not to laugh at whatever he does.



And finally, we wish love and good health to all of our family and friends. We hope to see all of you more and pray for a happ new year!
