Tuesday evening

Hi everyone!

I thought I better check in with everyone! I have been reading posts. It has been kind of quiet. Thank all of you for your birthday wishes. I did have a nice birthday. Don and I went out to dinner the day before my b-day because we were expecting a snowstorm. We went to Red Lobster where we had shrimp and I brought home a slice of Key Lime pie for dessert. Then the day after my b-day we went to Karen's for a family celebration. Jer made chicken marsala which was delicious and we had lemon tart and ice cream for dessert. We still have not gone to the movies but are planning to see Silver Linings Playbook when we do.

My other news is that my dental work is going as scheduled and going well. I did have some pain for a few days after the work last week. It involved four teeth and prepping them for caps. I have to have one of the teeth extracted so finishing everything will take a bit longer. He also put me on amoxicillin for 10 days. I am tolerating it pretty well except for some stomach upset. Today I had the other half of my mouth deep-cleaned. It is an on-going saga.

Donna H--Happy belated birthday wishes! I hope you had a nice birthday.

Donna M--so sorry about the 49ers. We were cheering for them and thought they might pull it out in the end. As Steeler fans we were not happy the Ravens won but it did keep our record in tact of the only team to win six SBs. I have been enjoying your pictures.

Trudy--I would love to have those temps here! We have had cold, windy, damp days and snow and expecting another storm on Friday.  Fortunately no big snow storms so far this winter.

Margie--I hope you and your family are well now. Sorry about your 49ers. I am impressed with Colin Kaepernick. Our local paper had an article about him on Sunday.

Amanda--I really liked all your pictures from NYC. Sounds like you enjoyed your trip. Guess we are getting a storm on Friday.

Sandi and Cady--hope all is well with you guys.

I have done some reading since I was last here. I read Captured by the Highlander by Julianne MacLean, The Third Victim by Lisa Gardner, and Hard Evidence by Pamela Clare. All three were good reads. I am now reading Murder by Mocha by Cleo Coyle and it is good so far. All of the books I have read this year so far have been good and I hope the trend continues.

I hope everyone is well and keeping warm this winter and that you haven't had any extreme weather to contend with. Happy reading!
