The big news is The Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the 49ers in Miami. Harrison Butker scored 7 of the 31 points in a 31-20 game.

Today you are going to DePalmas with your Mahjong friends to celebrate Mary Quinn’s birthday. She is hosting Mahjong afterwards.

Tonight you are ushering (& Don) for the Curtis Symphony at the Performing Arts Center.

Claire & Mitch called you yesterday to talk about their engagement and a fall wedding. She said it will be a big wedding. You told her not to worry because her dad has plenty of money!

Don’s birthday – making a chocolate cake
William & Kristen are coming. –>
All of Don’s grand children sent gifts thanks to Bill.

–> They are coming next weekend now – due to colds.

Feb. 2nd ERIC is *29*

Michael told you he won 2 matches – he didn’t tell you he lost 2 matches. He got a medium slice of cake. He asked for 2 more slices for his Mom & Fiona :-|.

He was being helpful when you went to see him and was busy putting together new kitchen chairs.

Last night you went to 4 restaurants before going to Rafferty’s. Everything was packed. You had salmon with mashed potatoes and Don had Salmon with green beans for a total of $45.

DON’S BIRTHDAY – 84
February 1 –

Don wanted an all chocolate cake for his birthday. You found a recipe for The World’s Best Chocolate Cake with “real butter.” Unfortunately Don has had a cold so your plans to have William and Kristen & the boys were cancelled. It turned out both the boys had the beginning of a cold, too.

You found 4 “large candles” for the cake that wouldn’t stay lit because they were really lighters. You melted the tops of them.

Donna, Mark and Jonathan facetimed you for a Happy Birthday song.

Don only gets once slice of cake for now. You are saving half the cake for next weekend. You told Michael he can have a big piece of cake if he wins his wrestling match today and a small one if he loses.

Today you texted me a cute collage of photos from a Married 4 Life Cruise from 4 years ago. We had fun taking a taxi to tour Nassau and got some really cute pictures of the four of us. I guess you had enough fun to want to drive back down here for another cruise in February of last year. We did have a good time then, with a treasure hunt you won and a relaxing beach day. The 2 of you went to the beach for the rest of the week after the cruise ended.

Your gathering last night was, “good, lots of laughs. The girls beat the boys again :-). Some drank cordials and some just coffee. “Don and I were the only ones who drank Irish Coffee. Only one bottle emptied. It had just enuf for 2 little cordials.”

Today you went to “Penney’s” to look for a birthday present for Don. You found a Georgia hoodie sweatshirt for $17.99 marked down from $56.00. Tonight you will go to dinner with 2 other couples and then go back to your house for Hand and Foot. You have all your liquors lined up on the bar. You have white AND green Créme de Menthe, Fireball, Cr´eme de Cacao, some blue stuff you have had for “at least 10 years.” You hope nobody gets sick.

* You told me about an upcoming mystery dinner party where you will play a “hussy” and are borrowing a black bra to stuff with socks and will wear a tight black sweater!

:-O HA HA HA HA HA HA

There was a blood mobile at your church today. You decided to give blood so you can find out what your blood type is. Also they talked about a great need for blood at church. You haven’t given blood for “ten years.” You want to have a card to carry in your wallet that has your blood type on it. I’m not sure why you want to do that.

You found out your blood type is A+.

Tonight you go to the church that houses families through Interfaith Hospitality Network. I looked it up and it looks like the name changed to Family Promise. It seems like you have been involved with this ministry for 7 or 8 years. It’s another thing you do to give back to the community and try to help other people you don’t even know. You never complain about sleeping there even though it can’t be very comfortable.

You still have that darn pain in your neck. You went to spin class anyway and are going about your day. You don’t want me to worry. I just wish you would go get a massage! You really work your body and it has a hard time keeping up with your to do list!

I’m not sure what you did today but today is Jami’s birthday. You are taking her to lunch tomorrow. Jami is one of your most favorite people. How could anyone not love Jami. We are very lucky to have her in our family. She has been a blessing to all of us, especially Grant of course.
