Many celebrations

 We started the month of January with ‘another’ Christmas on Jan 4^th to celebrate Bethany coming home to AZ for a few days. This time Larry was there too. 

We celebrated Dawns’ birthday by going to Red Robin and back to Dawn and Vince’s for birthday cake. Since Dawn eats Keto I made a Keto Lemon Cheesecake for her birthday cake. It turned out surprisingly well and Dawn loved it eating two pieces that night. 

I had to make several appts. before my surgery on Jan 25 to remove the longest screw out of ten in my ankle. It was connecting both bones which made it difficult to walk properly but helped in healing the bang up job I did on my ankle back in July. No pain after the surgery nor none since and I’m walking fine.  I did have to wear my boot for a few days but that is a thing of the past now.

For my birthday the four of us went to Olive Garden and then Dawn baked an Angel Food cake for me.  Still my very favorite cake as it is light and fluffy and I can eat a big piece! She even frosted it with my favorite frosting.  

Dawn has been wanting to learn how to use many of Larry’s tools so he gave her a lesson on using the circular saw and she did a great job! 

Yesterday I had my ‘first fruit’ out of my garden, a radish. Dawn gave me some Miracle Grow recently and that made several of the veggies take off, finally.

Last night Larry and I went to Red Robin for my free birthday burger and Dawn joined us since Vince was gone. We had a very nice time.
