 Happy 80th Birthday to my dear sister Rita. Her family is all in Cancun this week to celebrate the holidays. 

My recovery continues with lingering symptoms but I have been back to normal activities since last Friday. A snowstorm came through last Thursday and we got about 6”. Since I wasn’t feeling 100% yet, I begged off my cleaning job until Friday. That turned out to be a good thing because I had plenty of energy and was able to get the job done.  

I picked up barbecue for dinner and headed to Ben’s house late afternoon on Saturday.  We played charades for a while before dinner and then Ben and I made a batch of the Bridge family peanut brittle recipe.  I didn’t stick around for it to cool and taste but Ben said it was a big success. I’ll get to have some over the next two days.

Cathy and I went to Brasa on Sunday afternoon and met Heidi and Karen to celebrate Cathy’s birthday.  After dinner we went to Heidi’s house for cake and a glass of Bailey’s. Susie joined us there and we had a little gift exchange. It was a fun afternoon.

I cleaned for my newest client, Cassie yesterday and got to meet their new puppy, Goose. He is a 12 week old Bernadoodle and is just as cute as can be.  She gave me a $50 Christmas bonus and wants me to clean every two weeks now instead of monthly. It’s and easy house to clean and I get my reward when I look around as I walk out the door.
