Hey, sweetheart, this may be long again, so grab a comfy chair. Well, here we are at the end of January and it is your birthday. Missed you getting up and saying "Presents" because it is your birthday. Even though birthdays weren't a big deal for us anymore it still would have been great to have you here asking for your presents. I hope you were able to find Walter up there. He came up on the 7th of this month. So you have Barbara, Walter and Brian to hang out with.
So now that we are into another New Year, it has been really shitty so far. You would be proud of all the truckers in Canada protesting the mask mandate. They say there are 50,000 trucks and about 500,000 people. Also, President Trump held a rally last night in Texas. Huge crowd, maybe the biggest one yet.
Miss having you here to talk about what is going on with the country and like we said before you left it is a good thing we would only be on this earth for another 10 to 15 years and being seniors, there is not much that would change the rest of our lives. But as we agreed, we feel so worried about the future of our grandchildren and Kayleigh. Even for Stephanie and Stevie, I am concerned what is ahead for them in the next 25 to 30 years. So sad. Unless it can be turned around, or should I say go back to what it was like before.
As far as how we are doing, well we are getting by. I am taking good care of your truck, just had the oil changed and new air filter put in. We were able to sell some of your die cast cars and quite a few of the Lego kits you had. Still have several.
Last Sunday Stephanie took me and Stevie to see The Rat Pack at the Ormond Performing Arts center. She bought us the tickets for Christmas. Show was great, especially the person impersonating Dean Martin.
Yeah, Christmas was quiet. Just the three of us as Hunter was and still is up in Pennsylvania with Carly staying at her mothers house. He is working but boy did he have to go shopping for warm clothes. He's been doing landscaping and also pre-salting before the snow weather.
Mattaus is still working full time and has Kayleigh a lot with the help of Maddie of course. So I don't get to talk to him much, always busy. Tom and Terrie stopped in at Sammy J's for breakfast this past Tuesday in hopes of surprising me, but Stephanie didn't go in that morning. They did talk to Harry and he said how much he misses you too, that you always were funny.
I am sure you have a lot of questions and I wish there was a way I could answer them, but I am trying to keep you up to date. Hunter posted some pictures on Facebook of you and him and he wished you a Happy Birthday. He really misses you.
Having very cold weather this weekend, but trying to stay warm. Whitey is doing the same. Just washed here ears and put neosporin on again this morning. If you remember, the vet gave us pills but they are so hard to get them in. Even bought a pill-popper but still hard. Tried crushing them in her food but somehow she tastes it and won't finish her food.
So for now, I am working on the taxes, always a pain to do. Other than that, mostly passing the time with a little work and watching TV. Did drop the cable and just have internet. Cut the bill down a lot.
Guess that is it for now. Love you and to say I miss you (we) miss you is an understatement, but please don't worry about us, we are doing OK. Love!!
