Random January

This was the night before we drove south for Marvin's big dental surgery.  I took this photo as I was returning home from taking Daddy his dinner.  Poor Marley had followed me all the way down to Daddy's house and I had to coax him back home.  Sweet boy was ready for some water when he got back.  He is still hanging in there - although we don't know for how long.  

This was me in the waiting room at the dental office during Marvin's oral surgery. I do not have a feeling of comfort in this place.  Many reasons... but we got a new one shortly after this visit.  Marvin got covid from this encounter.  And it turns out it was rampant in this office but no one really took it seriously.  I have a lot of thoughts but won't share them here.  However, I have a dental office to avoid in mid-Missouri.  

 

Incredibly Jonathan and I never tested positive for covid even though Marvin tested positive for 10 full days.  Have to assume that we had a mild case - living in the house with Marvin for all that time.  Thankful it wasn't bad and that we were all fully vaccinated and boosted.  Considering Marvin had two major surgeries in just a couple of weeks, we were a bit nervous about him being sick - but he came through it all just fine.  Very thankful.  

Sadly, wine club had to be moved to Zoom because of our covid positive household.  Love these ladies who stick with me through thick and thin.  

We were laughing and rooting Hannah on as she searched for a way to open her wine bottle... girl needs a new wine opener!  :) 

The sky was so beautiful on this particular evening... (Jan. 23)
