February has rushed by

I keep forgetting to post and February is nearly over. On Feb. 13th, Mom celebrated her 85th birthday. We had a nice dinner out, accompanied by Penny and Jack. Best news yet - as of yesterday, Mom is no longer a mobile home owner! Her mobile home in California finally sold. Did we get the price we wanted? No. But, the real estate market is still bad, so we're just as glad to rid of her of the monthly lot rent obligation and tuck a little money aside to boot.

Last week, we got to visit with our nephew, Jason, and his wife, Polly, and their two children, Ava (5 years old) and Troy (3 years old). They came to Ohio from North Carolina to see friends who just had their third baby. While in Ohio, they came to see Penny (Jason's mother) and Jack. We don't get to see Jason and Polly very often. In fact, we hadn't seen them since 2004, before Ava and Troy arrived. So, it was a joyful event for us to finally meet our grandniece and grandnephew.
