Happy 2020!

Randy and I enjoyed an early celebration for the new year with bed early - ha!  We had a good Christmas season with numerous celebrations ending with the Kinast exchange and 29 being in attendance.  Randy is back to traveling and preparing for his new class sessions by writing materials.  I am volunteering at Vermillion, Central Christian and then once a month at Emily's classroom.  It is always a joy to be with the grandchildren!  We also visited Mary, Kurtis, and Aurora in January.  We got lots of playtime with Aurora!  The end of January I started my sign language class again.  Last week, we were doing health signs.  It is very interesting but my there are a lot of signs to remember!
I have also been making birthday cakes.  They are always fun to make. We also enjoyed my Christmas cactuses which bloomed in November and are going to bloom again this month.  Here are some activities in pictures.
