Having spot and blemish

This week Clarine and I visited the dermatologist. He abused the top of my head and the side of my face somewhat. He cut out three samples from her that were biopsied and found negative. They were on her back and a little risque to show in pictures. But we seem to have a good bill of health in these pre-cancerous matters.

With regard to my previous blog: I still haven't got my new mouse and keyboard, but Phil, Sheridan, Zach and Max came out on Friday. Among other things Phillip literally scraped some stuff off the ball in my mouse as well as swabbing the mechanisms inside with a que tip and alcohol. It worked. My mouse now moves as freely as ever. So eventually I will have three mouses. One was for my lap top, but Phil says I need Bluetooth in my lap top for it to work. So I have a very nice little laser mouse that I am not able to use. While they were here the children (us kids) went out on the dock and shot sling shots and fed the ducks. We shot many pieces of smooth glass far out into the lake.

We have been on the entertainment circuit the last two nights. Friday night we attended a musical that had been written for our stake to perform in lieu of the road shows this year. It was about Alma and Abinadi and was excellently done. Last night Clarine and I went to the tabernacle to witness a production by the orchestra and bells on temple square. It was professionally done and the presentation was beautiful to see and hear.

We expect Kim Chris and family and Jalayne to arrive momentarily for a visit. We will dine and visit and enjoy each other. Clarine's grandson, wife and two kids are staying a lot of the time for the next week as well.

Our Christmas cactus is blooming again. I have included a blurry picture of it. Two days ago Clarine bought a great, large poinsettia. I took a picture to show you it's beauty. Alas! my computer and camera are doing some conspiracy theory, because under today's date the picture I found was one from last fall which I think I already included in a blog. Oh, well enjoy it again! I am not going to go through all of the hassle to get another picture of the poinsettia and include it with this blog. I suspect there will be a time before the plant withers and dies that I will send you a picture. Anything else I was going to say has evaporated. Perhaps it can be reconstituted and forwarded at a later date. gwh
