HAPPY NEW YEAR! Snow,snow, knee deep snow everwhere and I mean everywhere. We are sitting in our warm house and wondering if the electricity will stay on and if any more trees will fall over the neighbor's houses. Since we our house bound this is a good time to post our latest newz.

Lohring is the NEW dental director for the Siskyou Dental clinic! Yup, he just signed a contract and we'll be getting health benefits! Hurrah. He promises to work not more than 3 days (30 hours!) a week which means 2 nights away and home on the evening of the 3rd day. Let's see if he can pull it off. He's happy with his new promotion but says it's really no big deal. He's so modest huh. When he comes home, he eats a big jar of peanuts and then warms up his workshop and works on his boats and other projects. He'll also be working at the LCC dental clinic on Mondays, supervising students.

By the way, as predicted,he went totally nuts with over eating from the holidays. I've had to hide what is left of the Almond Roca and other delicious but wicked goodies. Of course, I was my usual controlled self and ate only low carbohydrate cardboard and fiber chips with an occasional splash of diet jam.

We just finished our kitchen remodel. The walls are sage green and the cabinet doors are light maple. The new 70" garden window brings more of the outside into the kitchen. Can you belive our last remodel was 10 years ago. Time sure goes by.

As you would predict, I was busy getting ready for the new year by being a cleaning fool and giving stuff away. It sure feels good to lighten our load of stufffff. My big resolution for this year is to get buff with an emphasis on bulging deltoids so I can wear skimpy tank tops by this summer! I joined a gym that has an emphasis on senior exercise and strength training programs. Since my last work out I can hardly bend down to pick up the cardboard cookie I dropped on the floor because I'm so stiff and sore from all the exercise torture. I felt ashamed that I was so out of shape compared to some of the other (older) seniors who were probably in their 70's! So look for the bulging arms in July. And if they aren't there don't say a word!

When I asked Lohring what his near year's resolution is he said, "TO be a bigger ass hole this year." Wow..what a great resolution huh. So enough for now.
