A new year has begun. I haven't even written the incorrect year on any of my checks. (I haven't written that many for that matter.) For about two weeks over Christmas and New Years we had house guests. Clarine's grandson and his wife and two foster children stayed here at night. They greatly enjoyed the breakfasts that Clarine prepared for them. They are two girls (the foster children, 16 and 7, I think
). The younger one wet the bed one night, and the older one used a child's hair brush in Kanab when they drove down there to visit relatives. The child had lice. Thankfully we didn't get infested. Maybe they hatched after they returned to North Carolina. Perhaps the precautions taken prevented an outbreak. Anyway after breakfasts they disappeared to his family or stores or activities and we would see them again at bed time. At our age we aren't a lot of fun for younger people. We get too tired. We still go to the temple to work on Saturdays. We have started swimming once a week at the Tooele pool. Lisa, Phil and family came out to see us the week following Christmas. Phil did some welcome updating on my computer. We are going to attend the open house of the Draper Temple this Thursday. The paper predicts that nearly one million people will attend during the time set aside before dedication for open house visitors.
I have included two photos with this posting. one was taken through the window pane on the sun porch. It displays a big black splotch that looks like it is on the snow on the lawn. Really it is on the window where a duck or goose bombed us as it pulled up to avoid a horrible accident. The other photo is me displaying many of the spot and blemish issues I have. It was intended to be that way to help me explain this circumstance. Tomorrow morning I go to see a Dr. Rodriquez -plastic surgeon. In the picture there may appear to be more serious stuff than what I am going to point out to you. What I point out to you probably isn't serious either. It doesn't hurt. It is just there and has been for some time - months. Whatever I put on it doesn't seem to change anything. I describe it as being cyst-like. It is the blemish about three quarters of an inch below my left eye. The regular dermatologist thought it should be handled by a plastic surgeon - even though he hadn't examined it. All this says that you will hear from me again after the disposition of this matter has been determined. gwh
