Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Wow, finally I'm back!  Alan got my laptop up and running again.  Apparently, it hadn't done any updates since 2011!!  I don't know how that happened, I thought it was on automatic update. I know I've used it since then.  I refused to use the tablet and no physical keyboard, that just takes too long.

Anyway, a little catching up to do.  Sunday we went to early service and bible study, and then had lunch at the DQ with Terry and Kathy.  When we got home, I got busy and packed (which I hadn't started yet) and finally hit the road around 4.  It was white knuckle driving after Granite Falls, light, continuous snow all the way.  40 mph at the most, 30-35 quite a bit of the way.  It was that nasty, slushy stuff that pulls you off the road.  Luckily, there was traffic, and I was behind a pickup most of the time.  I got here about 6:30, so it could have been worse.  Al said the next day that there was 7"!!  I talked to Orrin and he said we just had a dusting at home.

We settled in just fine.  The boys tested me a little Monday morning, but we're all good now.  Most of the time.  LOL  I was hoping we could do some walks, but it was just too nasty out.  It hasn't really warmed up much here.  Maybe the sun will be out more today.  There's church tonight.  

Monday we did some picking up and searching.  The roku controller was missing, as well as Donald's glasses.  We did find the roku that afternoon, just found the glasses this morning in their bedroom!

Yesterday morning we drove downtown (it was too cold to walk) so I could mail a package and then we went to the library.  They have a very nice library here, with current titles.  They are also part of a larger system.  Not the same system as ours, but the same type.  The afternoon I spent reading and they were on their tablets.  Bad me.  Today we're not going to do that.

Right now they are building with their knex.  I have read to them each day, and we've played games with dad in the evening.  We played Mouse Trap last night which I've never seen before.  It's already Wednesday! so the week is going by fast.

Orrin called and said that I should come to the casino in Granite Falls Friday on my way home to meet Hunts for supper.  They have a wonderful buffet there.  Alan said that he and the boys might come, too.  Oops, that reminds me, I need to call Delores to confirm.

Lisa called Nate on Hangouts yesterday afternoon (on his tablet)  We could hear her but the visual was bad, lots of interference.  At the end of the chat, we could see her, but then lost audio.  They had been to Martin Luther's home.  Sounds like they were having a good time.  It you saw Lisa's FB post about 150th anniversary and were puzzled, so was I.  It's their combined ages this year.  So glad the sisters are able to spend some time together like this.  She'll be back home next Thursday.  The boys will have school next week, so I don't need to be here.  

Karen Mischke will be having bypass surgery, so keep her in your prayers.  Jer and Cori, that is Dustin's mom.

Well, I'd better get off and pay attention to the guys. 

Hugs, Linda, Al, Nate, Donald and Summer
