Hello from Borrego, I’m a little under the weather this week, I’ve managed to catch a nasty head cold. With Covid still a very strong virus, I was naturally concerned but I’ve tested negative twice. We had a nice Christmas, low keyed but went to three parties at Jeff’s, Carole’s & Don’s. Chris & I spent a couple days with Ben & Matt, wonderful food, plenty to drink and a nice pool/spa to enjoy. Murphy and Riley got to spend a couple days at the Grand Paw, where they played hard, got bathed and got their nails trimmed.
There is news to report…Matt has been appointed to be a judge! With the appointment he was also able to pick a location to serve. He could have stayed in Seattle but he and Ben love Palm Springs, so they have moved. As I’m wring this they are taking ownership of their new house. They are so excited.
Because they have moved, leaving us with no immediate family near Hoodsport, Chris and I are going to list our home when we get back with the hope of moving closer to Jacob, Em and of course Grace.
Travis and Anne are also over in Spokane, so it just makes getting together easier. We really want to spend our time up north watching Grace grow up. It will be hard to sell that home, it was our dream to have a custom built house and it is so beautiful there. It is not a favorable real estate market, interest rates have really increased. The nice thing is we don’t have to sell, if we don’t get fair market value, we’re both good with staying there. It will be interesting at this time, next year to see where we are.
Mom and I have gotten very comfortable with streaming (hard to believe). We do it both in Hoodsport and here in Borrego. We really enjoy the variety of shows we can watch, many of them we watch together.
In order to get “in shape” for this upcoming surgery, mom and Ben helped me to order an e Bike. I can’t walk much anymore, I’m hoping I’ll enjoy this and lose some lbs to get my bmi down where my surgeon recommends, that probably means 15 lbs or more in the 4 months we have left here. More to come on that!
We’ll, time to feed the boys, I’m starting to get some evil stares as the clock hits 4:30.
Bye for now!
