February Birthday Party

Last Sunday we went to the family birthday dinner party at Mom's. Here are some pictures taken at the gathering. I spent most of the evening resting comfortably on the soft couch.

The birthday people for the month of February are Mark and Thadeus (both not pictured because they didn't drive on down from Yakima for the celebration).

Birthday people pictured are Rachel, Jeff, Rebecca and Maggie. Also pictured are various other family members not celebrating a birthday in February.

Happy birthday to all the February birthday people!!

Side note: Glen and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in February.  Happy anniversary to us!!

Quotes of the Week

"Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them."
-- Steve Maraboli

"You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself, is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away."
-- C. JoyBell C.

"Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream."
-- Debby Boone

A Heart Attack

Look what I found on our front porch last night.

Yes, it appears my Mia Maids gave me a heart attack and I loved it!!!

Ice Pack and a Pillow

Perhaps some of you are wondering if Glen's wrist is improving. We thought so...until...another snowstorm...or two...or three. SHEESH!!!! Is it ever going to quit snowing????

Poor Glen goes outside to help clear several driveways and comes inside to a frozen dinner while he ices his wrist. He asked for easy things to pull out of the freezer while I am recovering from surgery.

In case anyone wonders how I am doing, let me introduce you to my new best friend...

Since having a posterior pelvic repair done recently, I find my posterior is very sore. What better way to pad it than with a traveling neck pillow. Genius idea!

Thanks once again for the neck pillow gift, Abe. It has come in handy for several different uses through the years.
