juSt aNother cOld Winter day

Not much going on, but more snow. I know it is winter and this is Alaska! Several inches fell overnight and it's still coming down like crazy. I have to admit,
it is beautiful. Yesterday was a pretty good day. We had someone come in with Beth and I went into Anchorage. It started out real exciting with a visit to the eye doctor. (Boy, do I know how to have a good time) The good news is that after neglecting
to go for about eight years, my eyes are good. However, when I met the dr., I wanted to be sure he was even old enough to drive. So young these days!!
I spent the rest of the day just doing town stuff. We had signed up to help clean the temple, so when John got off work we went to the temple for the last session of the evening and then stayed to clean. It was a good experience. I did not know they made assignments for cleaning duties. It is a good way to get to know some of the other members and explore a little. Maybe they do not do this in all areas. I had never heard about this assignment back home. All in all is was good.
Oh yeah, note I did put phpotos in. For me that was an accomplisment.

Today Is The DAy

Ok, today is the day. I am going to take this blog thing (I think) This winter has drug on and on and on. I know it's not over, so what better time to learn new things than while I am indoors, to say nothing of in the dark. We are gaining daylight faster now. I will have to watch the news and see how much each day. I know it's not enough for me. John spent last week in Pittsburgh.
A new system was delivered, so he helped to install it, then trained them in running it. He has not had to travel much since right before Christmas, but it sounds like his schedule will be picking up now. We have a trip to Vegas planned in a couple weeks. It is one of the annual conferences. I plan to go this time. The climate will be warmer and I need a break.
As most that know us know, John's mother Beth lives with us. She will be 91 this spring. Her health is failing more all the time, so she require alot of care. She is a very sweet lady. We are is the process of having a lift put in so I can get her out of the house more often. Right now, we have to wait for John to be home to go back up the stairs. Last week we went for a ride and when we returned I had to call a grandson to help carry her back up the stairs. I can barely get her down the stairs, but it's just not safe anymore for me to get her back up alone. Getting out now and then lifts her spirits, even though she is always is a hurry to return home.
Next post I will try for a picture add on. Wow, for an older gal, I'm getting brave.
