Ann and Brody's friend's two granddaughters play for Tennessee and Gonzaga and were planning to guard each other that night, but one of the sisters injured herself not too long ago and is out for a while. It was fun to see old Conklin neighbors, the Blums, and meet their kids and grandkids!
Unfortunately, Grandma Conklin was pretty sick this past week, so, instead of having lunch with her at the Waterford, we spent time with her at the hospital. We were so happy to see how much better she was the second day we visited.
We played lots of board games during the week. One of our favorites, Wise and Otherwise, is like Balderdash, but with old adages and strange sayings. We highly recommend it!
Another game we tried on New Year's Eve, called B.S....not so exciting:
And the clock strikes twelve:
We also did lots of eating and sleeping and watching of games on TV--the usual.
Of course, everyone loved hanging out with Emerson.
We had a wonderful time but are also happy to be back at home, in our own beds, enjoying the snowless ground and clear roads! I'm excited to have this day free and plan to head into Portland this afternoon to see Sarah, who is up visiting from San Francisco. Yay! Then, it will be back to work. After the crazy weather and nice break, I am really ready--excited actually--to get back to work!
Happy New Year!
