Life in Iowa is generally cold. We did get up 45 today at noon, but it was 16 by 5pm. We're supposed to get a lot of sub 0 weather this week with a major snow event about Tuesday. I woundn't mind the weather if we had mountains to go with them.
Wednesday I was visiting a woman who is dying with cancer and slipped on the ice outside her house. The truck door was open and my leg wedged in under the door, my shin bone against the bottom of the door that's all pointy. I fell back and got wedged into the open door frame with my back and my feet was on very slippery ice. Just below the knee took a major hit and my back a minor hit, but at least I didn't go down all the way. Lot's of ice packs on the shin bone helped.
Jacque and I bought the new Canon 50D digital SLR, it's really nice. We've been looking at them for a while. I've had a 20D for 4 or 5 years and all the lenses and stuff work with the new camera. It's a lot more powerful camera than the old one. I took pictures today in church of the Cantata (The Choir's Christmas Program) without a flash and the pictures turned out better than they have in the past using a flash. (Technical stuff. The 20D has a maxime ISO of 1,600. I shot at 3,200 hundred today. The 50D has a mazime of 12,800)
My glucose has been uncontrolled for the last 3 months, since I stopped playing golf 4 or 5 times a week. I went on medicine for the 1st time since 1998. I'm letting my foot heal up and when I can start walking again I hope I can get off the medicine again.
Every Sunday Jacque and have pizza:-) Tonight Jacque made z crust using Grandma Powers' Pizza Recipe. It's pretty tasty.
We also have a couple of fuzzy critters living with us. Zach is the old puppy, 8 years, he's the white one. Willie is the puppy, 3 years old. Jacque just finished the pillow they are sleeping on. Zach has had a small red one, you can see it in the background, and Willie had been sleeping on a small rug he no longer fit on. It's nice they are sharing Willies new bed:-)
Love and miss you all!
