I got a new camera for Christmas but was so busy I didn't get very many pictures taken. I got one of Mason wearing Jodi's glasses. Cute kid!!
After Christmas Heather took Grandma Clausen, myself & the girls to a salon and we all got our nails done. Grandma was loving it and tried to tell us that it was the first time in her life she did that. I knew different but I sure wasn't going to argue with her. I know she had it done once while they were in Karcher Estates and I think she had it done in Portland too.
Grandma kept telling me she wanted to get her haircut but couldn't decide how. She says that this is the longest it's been for as long as she can remember. When it came down to it and Jodi cut hair for both of them she decided she only wanted it trimmed and shaped. So even after the haircut it doesn't look much different. I should have taken before and after pictures of Grandpa - he was looking pretty shabby and said he thought he could get it braided pretty soon. HA
It seems like it been forever that we've been under an inversion. It's cold and foggy almost every day. Up at Bogus it's a different story, of course. A couple of weeks ago we had a big pile up on the freeway just before 10 Mile. There was a Subaru that got pinned under a log truck and was dragged a ways and you couldn't even tell what kind of car it was. But, the guy was not hurt seriously and just this week the news said he was home and healing well!! No one could hardly believe it.
Neil & Shirley came for a few days the first of the month. They wanted to go look at the house in Emmett that they had seen when they were here for Thanksgiving. He brought me a couple of gifts:
Diet food!!!! This is a quarter pounder.
This is what it says
He made these and we have had some good fun with them.
We're starting to try and figure out how to put in garden in the back yard. I'll keep you updated on that. We're considering putting a couple of fruit trees on the NW side of the house. We'll see if it happens.
A couple of weeks ago our Relief Society Presidency was released - that means me - and I've been free; until now. The Bishop came to visit and he just made me laugh. He tried to tell me that there are sisters in Relief Society that feel that if Sister Clausen was taken out of Relief Society it would fall apart. Yea, right. I am not indispensable. Well, my new calling is the RS Visiting Teaching Coordinator. The new president is Tanya Ashton [for those who know her] and she's already on a run. Talked to her today and she said that my job is going to change dramatically - not just getting and doing reports. I'll be going on visits and working with the supervisors in making sure sisters are visited. She said that there is tons of missionary work being missed with all the inactive sisters that aren't even having any kind of contact. The first Sunday after her call there were 3 sisters at Relief Society that haven't been to church for more than a year. I guess I better get ready for a fun ride.
Guess that's all for now. If I'd do this more often my posts would be a lot smaller!!!!
