Post Vacation

Just caught up with the entries--thanks for being persistent, Smith cousins. I do hope we can continue to communicate this way.

We got home from South Carolina on Tuesday--missed the massive ice storm in Kentucky and Tennessee when we went last of January. But we did manage to get in the middle of a snow storm with 32 degree temps just as we were going through the mountains in western North Carolina--were very happy to follow about 6 semis--figured they should break up any road ice before us. Took longer, but we got safely through. Our weather in SC--experienced record high and record low!

We did golf 21 of 28 days, so not a bad average. Eldie was all excited about his new Callaway driver he got last fall and loved--couldn't hit anything reasonably well with it (I even suggested lessons to learn how to swing with 2 crummy knees!). Upon examination, the face plate (or whatever) was separating, took it in to Martin's and they sent it in to Callaway--took 2 weeks, but they replaced it with the newer driver so he IS HAPPY. And, it did work a whole lot better the few times he got to use it--is now looking forward to spring.

We had a really good month, but were ready to return home to the real world. Our extended family is spending next week at Wisconsin Dells--looking forward to all being together. When you are our age--the medical news is important (so they tell me)--I am having a thyroidectomy on April 1 (3 of the Peterson adult females will have had their throats slit!!!), U. Eldie has a ortho appt. on April 15 to assess knee status-----I am glad we are HEALTHY.

We are looking forward to Morgan's graduation activities in May and my 50th High School reunion--that is absolutely impossible!! So good to read your blogs (what is twittering??? Also we did enough texting to send messages to the grandkids (about as much as I care to do). Dan, glad your surgery went well--better than reconstruction! Todd, what is this about KC? Arizona weather does sound better than here--but we have variety--it's raining today, possible snow/ice tomorrow. Take care--love from us.
