January 1 through 7: 

Saturday, 1/1/22.  Happy New Year to one and all.  I spent most of my day working on the computer while sitting in my bed to rest my feet and back from Vacation Bible School.  On Sunday, Dad and I were joined by both Emma and her friend, Sadie, for Sunday school and church.  There were ten children who had participated in Vacation Bible School last week that sang three songs to get our worship service started.  They accompanied the singing with lots of hand motions and were very cute.  Emma and Sadie were included in the ten.  I worked in the church office Tuesday re-inputting weekly data from the last three months that was lost in a computer glitch last week.

On Wednesday, 1/5/22, I saw the orthopedic surgeon’s P.A. for another follow-up visit.  Even though I still do not have full use of my left shoulder, she gave me a complete release.  Afterward, I a nice visit with my friend, Jackie Sosville.  I worked at the Food Bank on Friday to finish up the first week of this year.

January 8 through 14: 

Dad and I attended a memorial service for Lannie Passmore, a member of our church on Saturday, but Dad wasn’t feeling well Sunday morning, so just Emma and I attended Sunday school and church.  Monday night was the College Football National Championship game.  Number 1 Alabama lost to #3 Georgia.  I spent most of my day working in the church office again on Tuesday.  Also, on Tuesday, another member of our church, Dennis Willis, passed away. He was 56 years old and had been a paraplegic since he had a car accident at age 20.  On Wednesday, a GE repairman came to fix my water dispenser/ice maker in my refrigerator/freezer.  I went to work in the church office for most of the day on Thursday working on end of the year reports.  This time, I was helped by the secretary, Marsha.  Friday afternoon found me back at church to help with data input for the food bank.  We had a number of our regular volunteers out due to the upcoming holiday weekend.

January 15 through 21: 

On Saturday and Sunday, Dad and I watched NFL playoff games and were glad to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win.  Emma could not go to church with us on Sunday because she has pink eye which is contagious.  Monday night, the LA Rams won their playoff game making them the Bucs opponent next Sunday.  On Tuesday, Dad and I went to a funeral in the morning and I spent the afternoon working on the end-of- year reports in the church office.  On Tuesday I also found out that my friend, Julie Cole, who sings in the church choir and volunteers at the food bank has COVID.  On Thursday, Dad and I went to Senior Saints in the early evening.  Pastor George and his wife Esther have gone up north to be with her seriously ill sister but we had a dozen seniors in attendance to hear Teri Giles, Director of North River Care Pregnancy Center speak and enjoy some delicious soup, sandwiches and salad.

Friday morning, 1/21, I went for my 3-month blood draw.  Later in the week I received the results that my blood sugar A1C level has increase slightly from 6.9 to 7.0.

January 22 through 31: 

On Saturday, 1/22, the Bengals beat the Tigers and the 49ers beat the Packers.  Both games were won by a field goal as time expired.  And, on Sunday, the Rams beat our Buccaneers by a field goal in the last 10 seconds of the game and the Chiefs beat the Bills in overtime.  It was a very exciting weekend of football watching.

The GE repairman returned on Monday to fix the icemaker – the water dispenser has been working fine.  We have been experiencing some very low temperatures accounting for numerous days of frost.  My yard and my hedges are now brown.  Even the weeds seem to have frozen.

My granddaughter, Emma, is 8 years old and in the third grade.  She often spends Saturday mornings with me.  Today, 1/29, she brought over her laptop so that she could continue doing research for a school report which she is putting into Power Point which her teacher taught them how to use.  OMG, what happened to the little girl who had a unicorn theme for her last birthday party?  Well, I guess there is a nod to that in the subject she chose for her report.  Emma’s report is on the the Saola (pronounced: sow-la), a critically endangered species which is similar to an antelope.  They are recognized by two parallel horns with sharp ends, which can reach 20 inches in length and are also commonly called the Asian Unicorn.  Below is a picture copied from the WWF website.

1/30 – Sunday – Our cold weather has continued.  In fact, Dad was so cold in the church sanctuary this morning that we left early.  In the afternoon and evening the Bengals beat the Chiefs in overtime and the Rams beat the 49ers.  This means that the Bengals will play against the Rams in the super bowl.  This will be the second year in a row that the game will be played in the home stadium of one of the teams.  Last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played in Tampa and this year the Los Angeles Rams will play in their home stadium.
