Friday 12/28/12

We had a great Christmas, everyone was here by Sunday night. Monday was a good day and on Christmas Eve we had our traditional supper of crepes by candlelight. Then on Christmas day Del, Chuck, Ken, Kathy and Dan all came to join us for our traditional Christmas Brunch.  Tina woke up sick, Grant soon followed, then around noon Cherilyn also came down with whatever it was.  They were all nauseated, vomiting and generally sick.  Not a good Christmas day for them. Fortunately it was a 24 hour bug, so all are recovered by now.

We had snow which fell all day on Monday, through the night and much of the day Christmas until we had 8 inches.  There were adventures getting out for those who had to leave on Christmas day.  Leland spent much of the afternoon rescuing those who were stuck a few miles from the house and showing them a way to get to town with less steep hills. 

He went to Hood River today to take our friend,  Elaine, to the Dr. They went out to lunch together and did a little shopping.  He is tired right now and napping in his chair. 

Grant is still here with us.  I spent the day with him and doing our cooking for the weekend, and finishing the cleaning.  We are having company for the weekend in addition to Grant, long time friend Kathy W will arrive in a few minutes.

Leland is doing pretty well, fingers are still numb and sore, but infection is all cleared up.  He has lost some weight again which I am concerned about, as he has been eating well with good appetite.  We go to Seattle again this coming week on Thursday so will have blood work and PSA done again to see how he is progressing. 

I will probably  not be able to post here  until Sabbath evening or Sunday as we will not arrive home from Seattle until Thursday night, will be having communion  Friday night, and I am helping to decorate for it during the day-it will be a busy week for us. I will post as soon as possible, and in the meantime, thank you all again for your prayers and support.
