A Joyful time

We arrived safely back from Puerto Rico. Waking up in our own comfy bed the next morning was in itself a nice treat!

Spending Christmas with my mom was very nice. Since we had a huge spread at Thanksgiving we all decided to have a simple Christmas dinner and enjoy each others company with the few days we have left here.

Kris and I spent the weekend after Christmas with our son Duane and his girl Heather. Heather has a precious 3 year old name Caleb. Caleb and I had so much fun together while the grown ups were busy working on some other things. Caleb is so smart and is learning to count and say his ABC's. He is not especially interested in being introduced to new foods, however, with some coaching he is nibbling at oatmeal and peas. It is my hope that one day he and our other grandson Riley will grown up playing together and sharing in boyhood adventures.

Duane and Kris worked on the hot tub and Heather's car. They came to the conclusion that the filters needed to be clean and the hot tub is running just fine now. The story with Heather's car is not as easy. Since the car has been having issues and now having other issues they have concluded that throwing good money after bad has come to a dead halt. She is now a proud owner of a 2008 Chevy Malibu! You go Girl! You have done very well taking care of your finances and now you are reaping your reward!
Traveling on the interstate between work and day care is not so stressful since she does not have the worry about breaking down.

Kris has his new orders for his next job. It appears we are heading back to Meridian, MS to finish the work we had to leave hanging. Since the job was put on hold for various reasons we took advantage of the time off and headed to NC to see my doctor about my back. The job should only take about 2 weeks and then we are off to Montgomery, Al.

Our beautiful grandson Riley and his lovely parents live in Al and it is our hope that
we will be able to visit with them while we are there.
