a TV Day

I stayed up late last night reading my book and gave myself a head ache. Also I think I'm getting a cold so today we are watching more TV than usual. Julia loves Max and Ruby, Olivia, and The Backyardigans and will sit mesmerized for at least half an hour watching one of those. She waves "night, night" to Olivia and "Goodbye" to the Backyardigans, really cute! It's nice to have some quiet, still time but I feel kind of bad.

To my Beautiful, Loving Grandma Beth

My grandma Beth passed away last month on January 13. She was 75 years old, had been married for 56 years, has 7 children, 37 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. She is a wonderful example of goodness and love. I feel so lucky to have had her in my life as I grew up. She was always very interested in what I was doing and supported me all that she could. Whenever you went on a trip with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen, Grandma would make a batch of her special chocolate no-bake cookies for the ride. I found that recipe and made those cookies the other day. It's amazing how such simple things bring such good feelings and memories. Thank you, Grandma. I love you.
