Whoa! Christmas flew by and it's already my oldest grandson's 9th birthday- er New Year's Eve. I left my gallbladder behind in 2010, but the bill follows me into 2011. The insurance is claiming it was a pre-existing condition. According to them, everything is a pre-existing condition. So what on earth do I have insurance for anyway? The bill is nearly my entire income for a year. I guess that's what payment plans are for.
Setting that aside, more pleasant memories. Both my sons stayed with me during Christmas- and their fiancees! Colin proposed Christmas morning to Mai. They haven't set a date or venue yet. Hopefully I'll be surprised to not have to travel very far. Wade and Jessica are getting married in March in Seattle and it'll be nice to see my old stomping grounds again.

We had a lovely Christmas. Our church choir sang the cantata we've been practicing for months and it went off without a hitch. Family was together. What more could I ask?

Today it took me an hour to dig my way out of my driveway. I stopped at a store on the way in and got some good 75% off deals. I was first at work so opened up and got the sidewalk shoveled. Later after the snowplow had cleared that area of town, I went out to shovel the ridge away the snowplow had left. While I was busy a very nice gentleman drove by in a pick-up with a blade on it. He motioned for me to move and then he plowed the parking lot entrances for me. The kindness of a stranger. How wonderful to see it! Maybe it's a Minnesota thing. But I'd still like to know who he was to properly thank him with a plate of fresh homemade cookies!
We're supposed to get more snow tonight, but I have 3 days off and plan on enjoying this time.
Happy New Year!
