Preston Idaho used to really decorate the whole town ao that is where Nancy & Becky decided to take us. It was really cold but sNancy soon had the bus warmed up and with Nancy doing the driveing away we wentup 2nd west to 14 North east to the main highway and then north thru Hyde Park, Smithfield which had the town sqare really decorated on to Richmond, Pepperadge farms, cove, with lewiston to the westand the little towns of Trenton and Cornish, beyond, north to Franklin, Idaho home of the Lottery ticket center for all the Utah people to waste their money on.Then on to Preston which was a big dissappointment the town has fallen on hard time because they don't decorate like they used to we went out to the crossroads and made apit stop for one of the inmates and thenback theu preston, Franklin, cove, pepperidge Farms, Richmond, Smithfield. Hydepark .

When I first came up with the idea of the blog I told him I would bring my camera and we could take pictures everytime we did a post. He wasn't too excited when I actually did it! I wonder if he is regretting that I know his password:)

Dear crazy people, tonight at 6:15 P.M. the Towne singers a local choral group came and sung for the residents of Terrace Grove Christmas songs, It was really good and they have been together for 40 years. The leader name is Eldon Curtis and his daughter plays for them . a note of history, Patricia, our oldest daughter took piano lessons from Eldon many years ago. Its a small world. I even got them to sing a verse of Silent Night in closing. Joylene Koyman sings with them and she is a friend of Scott & Patty and her husband is the mayor of Hyde Park until January. Also a friend of Kim sings with them but I can't remember his name. Bedtime, more later.

Dear family & Friends, Amy Lou got me started so to all the crazy people I just wanted to know that I love all of you and I will try to keep you informed of my limited activities. I got up this morning at 4:30 A.M. I could'nt sleep any longer, got dressed and took my many pills and etc and then shaved washed my face and hands and mixed up the every day dose of miralax and took my walker and walked up and down the hall two times which is 150 of my limited strides which I caculate to be about 200 feet long, give or take, then I came back into my apt and sat down in my big chair to wait for breakfast at 7:30 A.M. I am reading a book called the Stalker which is as weird as it sounds, it is by Faye Kellerman if anyone wants to read it. In the course of reading it I promptly went to sleep and one of the aides came and woke me up at 8:00 A.M so I hurried up to breakfast a half an hour late but I did get fed. I came back after being kidded about being a sleepy head by my four eating companions who have become good friends The oldest is a fellow who is 95 the next is a lady from Virginia who is 88 Sorry its time for Lunch more later

We will add more pictures later. It is taking forever and I have to go shower!
