January 17/18

The weather has kept us close to the house. Yesterday, the crate came with all the goods the girls had shipped, so we spent a lot of time unpacking and assembling kid table, shelving, computers, printers, trikes, Birley, etc. Besides, someone at work had loaned Carrie a slide, so I put it together. Unfortunately, Alex wanted nothing of it.

All you Mah Jong mavens will be glad to hear that I'm back on. Won 3 out of 5 last night. Alex has taken an interest. He organizes all the discards. He called us today while we were in town, asking that we hurry home as he was ready to play.

We woke up to a gale force wind that when it occurs takes trees out in the area. One guy lucked out as his high end Mercedes was a whiskers from getting hit by one of the falling trees. The slide I put together yesterday ended up in the middle of the next lot, which is all plowed up-meaning it just didn't slide over there. It must of rolled.

The old limbs were a bit sore today for the first time. Not sure what that means. We went into town though the wind was really blowing and the temp was about 45F. This home has a central vacuum, which works pretty good, except for having to drag the long length of hose around.

Not sure where we are going this weekend. Have been trying to reach this taxi driver in Belfast to give us a tour. He was recommended in our book, but he doesn't answer his e-mails or his phone.

Appears I have to download some pictures onto the computer before I can load them up. Not getting access very much, so it is a bit difficult.

Granny and Carrie just took pictures of Flor and I working side by side on computers. So funny.

In addition to the previous mention, Alex has many more toys to play with and the girls finally have more then one pair of shoes to wear.

Judy A., thanks for the compliment. Feel I should do a special Irish version just for you, but I need more time.

Good Day!!

Joe
