New Year's Day we went up to Garnavillo, first to my aunt & uncle's house for a gathering of my dad's side. We had lots of food (again!) and played "Catch Phrase" in the kitchen, while some people slept in the living room (Sarah). We always have a nice time up there, very relaxing.
Later in the afternoon we went to Roy's parents, who also live in Garnavillo. For Christmas we got them a new wafflemaker and an Alan Jackson Gospel CD. Their wafflemaker had died several months ago, and we hadn't had homemade waffles since! We got to test waffles from the new wafflemaker, and they were SO GOOD.
Roy's dad also made a copy of Alan Jackson's Precious Memories CD for us. We listened to it all the way home, over and over. There's nothing like pure gospel hymns, without any "artistic license". That was a very good CD, and I'm putting it on my iPod tonight.
We all had Tuesday off, so we went down to Iowa City to see my Grandpa Louis. On the way to IC we saw a semi full of cows on the Interstate. Lily reasoned, "They're going to the vet, because they're so hairy." That's totally logical to a 4 year old, because everyone knows cows can't be too hairy, right?.
Roy helped Grandpa Louis scan some family pictures and put them on his new digital picture frame. Roy wants one of those, of course. It was pretty cool. Roy's going to try to convert the format of the "Memories" DVD from my grandma's funeral so he can add that to the picture frame memory card too. I think it plays music, so that will be extra special. We all still miss her, but she's at home with Jesus, a far better place.
