By New Year's Eve, The Mama was back in the hospital. I spent part of it with her -- then the rest with the Brick and family to watch the Michigan debacle. (sigh) New Year's Day was cold, snowing and dreary-- we spent it watching Westerns and eating the Michigan version of Hoppin' John: Northern white beans cooked slow with ham. Delicious...and restful.
We've got Sunday duties at church, as usual. Monday, we'll belatedly celebrate our anniversary with a trip to the Gilmore Auto Museum. We've got a babysitting stint on Wednesday, taking care of nieces and nephews while their sister gets her tonsils out. I'll have lunch with a cousin...and we'll spend time with other cousins and family. The rest of the week will be devoted to The Mama.
And so begins January.
