my new great nephew, Hagan Ledger...(6 days old and precious)....

...The Junies @ Peachwave w/ their momma...

...celebrating their 1st day of their 2nd semester of 2nd grade...

Chick fil A....always a treat!

...Saturday afternoon gathering w/ friends from the Class of '72...

...@ Marsha's beautiful home..

...Nonni pick up day and the bunny was excited to see all 3 of her pets...

Charlie, Aerial and... Buster on her chest...

...I think they were happy to see her, too...

~~~

...rhe Junies w/ their bunnies....

~~~

...woke up to a little touch of unexpected snow...

...it rained first which froze and made the streets slick...many accidents on 

the morning work drive... thankful my girls made it w/out a problem...

~~~

...Ali and the Junies went to Lone Star School to watch a friend play

basketball...On their way, they stopped @ Burger's N' More for a burger

and ice cream...Ali said "it hasn't changed other than no iced mug for root beer"...

~~~

 

...Nonni picking up Junie A to take home for the night...

...It's Thursday and I brought Junie A home w/ me...

...First time alone w/out Junie M...

Junie M is having surgery tomorrow, so the reason for the split...

...She seems excited to be by herself....

...I assured her that I would sleep with her, and Junie M had something to say 

about it...."A 70 year old woman can't sleep with a 7 year old girl...lol!🤣🤣

...a real way to make a 70 year old feeling reaaallly OLD...

~~~

...At the surgery center waiting to be called back...

...a little nervous but ok...

...Junie M is having her nostrils scraped b/c  they are so small and her

adenoids removed...hoping it helps her breathing...

...waiting for her loopy meds to take affect...

~

...watching her being wheeled off was the hardest part...🙏🙏

...waking up a little weepy and confused...

...wasn't sure where she was...

...but, nothing a popsicle can't fix...

~~

...as you can tell...all is good...

...especially when Reed and his momma brought them a surprise...

...So sweet...

~~~

...our quaint lil'  NM village that I miss so much...💓

~~~

...the temperature was a negative 4 degrees with a wind chill of -27...

...it was so cold on one tackle, Mahomes had a hole knocked out of his helmet...

🥶🏈🥶

...they had to hurry around to find a replacement to fit his head...

...it was an awesome game to watch from the warmth of our clubroom...

~~~

...Jan. 14th...our high today of 9 degrees is smashing the 

record high of 13 degrees on this day in 1979...

~~

~~~

...Sunday Sunrise ..

....then, blustering winds and snow came blowing in throughout the day......

..not a lot of snow but enough snow to make snow angels...

...warming up w/ hot chocolate...

...Junie M w/ her head and throat hurting which they said could happen...

~~

...Sunday Sunset w/ snow on the ground...

~~

...our bunny stayed in close to the fireplace singing

songs about "making stews, breads and desserts and being fat and sassy"...🤣

...working on directive drawings...

~~~

...Martin Luther King Day, along with a snow day...

...watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie, while eating

from a candy board Ali fixed for them to share...

~~~

...Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Philadelphia Eagles...

...a win for the Buccaneers...

...sorry Jason Kelce and Jalen Hurts...

both, Baker and Hurts previous OU quarterbacks...

...but, I am a Baker Mayfield fan...happy the Buccaneers came out w/ the W...

~~~

...Another snow day...No School...

...Our bunny started the day w/ her momma at the dental office...

...At lunch, her Yia Yia came to her rescue b/c she was bored...

...lunch at the 91st Brook...

...She said they ate it up like they had not eaten since the day before...

...Also, had some great conversations about when Yia Yia was in school

and still used a land line telephone...the littles were like "WHAT?"...

~~

...Then, they spent a couple hours at the Jenks Aquarium...

...It's been awhile since the bunny had been so there were some things

  new to her...Plus, she has a salt water aquarium at her dad's, so 

she was able to talk to the Junies about many of the different fish...

...Ali said that their tunnel conversations were interesting and funny to hear...

...Ohhhh!  Someone was fast enough to catch a shrimp...

...love these 3 more than all the sea animals in the ocean...💓💓💓...

...KC Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions...

...Kansas City Chiefs fans...ALWAYS!...

...showing LOVE to all his fans, plus his #1 fan, Taylor Swift...

...he can run the ball, too!...

...awesome combo...and friends...

~~

...No one had more fun at the Chiefs game than Jason Kelce, Travis' brother...

...because the Eagles lost last week to the Buccaneers, he had a chance to watch his brother

in person w/ the family...

...shirtless and his wild celebration taking center stage after Travis' 1st 

touchdown during the game...

...KC Chiefs 27----Buffalo Bills 24...

...an awesome win, especially since the Chiefs were predicted to lose...

~~~

...Her momma fell twice on the sidewalk but made it to pick her up @ 

her dad's, and home safely for dinner that was ready...

...Buster is growing fast...They got him a larger aquarium...

...He is being fed crickets in the pic...

...giving their lil' furry bunnies some Saturday morning attention...

~~~

...Saturday morning bb watching Paul's youngest grand...

...didn't win this week but had a W last Saturday...

~~~

...kids from surrounding schools in Region Q from 4th-8th grade...

...it was an enjoyable choir program...

...I am sure Maja, one of Paul's grand girls, felt honored to be a part...

~~~

...our bunny tested positive for strep this morning, so we went by to

check on her and deliver strawberry bread pudding...

...She obviously is feeling a little better...

...I think pets like Buster & Charlie make it that way...

...Aerial is nearby...just didn't make the picture...

~~~

...When you get a call from a friend to go bowling, you quickly 

change from your pajamas to clothes...

...fun night...

...The leader of the Chiefs....All American football quarterback of the NFL...

...He came to the KC Chiefs after playing football and baseball for Texas Tech...

...Patrick and his wife, Brittany, were high school sweethearts...

...She excelled in high school and college as a soccer player...

...They are married w/ 2 children...

...Now, this is "flat out stretching it" and it was caught...🙌

...Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift...

...She has become a bright, light for football, especially the KC Chiefs...

...She has haters, but I love seeing she and Travis as a beautiful couple...

...Wish them much luck as a couple...💕
