NICE CELEBRATIONS!

 We started the New Year off with rain so hopefully it will continue throughout the year so our drought is diminished.

I had MOHS surgery on my nose on Jan 4 and that night we celebrated Dawn’s birthday by going to Texas Roadhouse.  I baked a Lemon Cheesecake especially for Dawn (Keto) and since Vince doesn’t like lemon, she basically had the whole cake.

With the rain we had a problem with the electricity going out on the east side of the pad.  Larry put it in five years ago and when he checked several of the “waterproof” boxes he found water in them!   (We had a lot of rain.)  He ended up digging up the buried wire and found the short so replaced the wire and the boxes so we are good to go again.

Since it was cold and rainy much of the month, Larry found a project inside to keep him busy.  He took the two doors over my washer/dryer and made them bi-fold doors.  Now I can see the light when the cycle is finished since there is no buzzer to tell me the cycle is done.

I had a semi- surprise birthday party at Texas Roadhouse with family and friends I hadn’t seen in several years.  We then went to Dawn and Vince’s for cake and ice cream.  It was a great time!
