STILL CATCHING UP

I was trying to remember everything to write  about and I forgot one of the most important.  Erik, Debbie and Kent came to Sequim on Saturday, January 14th.  It was going to be the last time I got a chance to see Erik before he goes on his Mission.  They had not been over since the downstairs was done.  We went to see Marge and Harry so Debbie could meet Harry and congratulate them on their upcoming wedding.  We had a nice visit.  We had lunch at the Chinese Garden.  I am  so glad they came on Saturday because it started snowing on Sunday.

Of course we all know that things got really bad before all the snow and ice was over.

HUMMING BIRD FEEDER

Even though there is a lot of snow and it has been very cold, I have a Hummingbird that comes everyday to the feeder.  The last few days he has been coming by three or four times.  We have not had it bad here.  I, of course, do  not go out into the snow.  Donna and laif went to the store today and I had them get me a couple of things.  We have a lot of snow but we have not lost power and so far have not  had the really icy conditions that I have been watching on the news.  Dan said he has been without power for a day and a half.  Debbie, who is in Connecticut, says they do not have power at their house.  Hopefully it will be restored before she comes back tomorrow.

WINTER IS HERE - NOT MY FAVORITE SEASON

I know I have not written on my blog since the middle of December. My last post was about my quilt. I will try to fill in what has been happening and try to keep up with things from now on. David came down from Ketchikan before Thanksgiving. The weather was good all through the time he was here until he got ready to go back to Renton on January 15th to get ready to get his plane on Tuesday, the 17th. He had a 7am flight to Ketchikan and Debbie had a 7am flight to Connecticut. They got to the airport OK and I have talked to David twice since he got back. Anyway, since the weather had been good, I was able to go to the Troller's Expo in Seattle with him and I even got to sit in on his meeting. One of his friends told me I should be very proud of him because he has done so much to help the Trollers. We were able to visit some of his friends around Port Townsend too.


I will backtrack now and fill you in on what was happening with David and me. On Thursday, December 22nd, David and I went to Debbie's for the Christmas Eve finale. We took my car with David being my chauffer, of course. Debbie had her usual very nice Christmas Eve party. We had a great time.

Now the trama part--David got very sick with the flu on Christmas Day. We were staying at Debbie's until Wednesday anyway so I could go to the Temple for Erik. By Wednesday David was OK so we took off in the morning to go back to Sequim. I was feeling just fine Wednesday and we had a good trip back to Sequim.

On Thursday, December 29th, I got sick early in the morning. I was so sick I could not eat or drink anything which turned out to be bad. I dehydrated and about 6pm I was in the bathroom and I remember yelling for David and I passed out. David called 911 and they took me to the hospital in Port Angeles. David said my face was whiter than my hair. Anyway, as soon as they put the IV on me in the ambulance I started doing Ok. I was just in the emergency for a couple of hours. I was sick with a fever for 4 days but now I am fine.

Donna and Laif had gone to Portland and then to Pullman so they missed all the Trama and the flu germs.

Now for some good news--Last night, January 17th, Marge Otte and Harry Thompson got married at the Fifth Avenue Senior Living Center. It was just a small gathering. The activity director's husband is a Minister. It was such a joy to see them get married. They both looked very happy.

Talking about Wedding Bells--My son Richard is getting married on February 18th. Richard and his fiance, Joan, came to Sequim, Monday, Martin Luther King Day so we could meet her. The 16th is also Richard's birthday. Joan seems like a very nice person. She is a registered Nurse. They are going to get married in Spokane where Joan's sister lives.
