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.
