Decluttering for 2025

 Starting the New Year great.  This is what Abi and I cleaned out of my closet.  Mostly Abi.  That is about 150 items that are going away. Either to the DI or the garbage.  I have a sickness.  

That was a few days ago and NOW all those bags are out of the house.  They are accounted for on my 2025 challenge chart.  There is no getting them back.  LOVE it. It is so cleansing to get rid of stuff and freeing to look in my closet and have room to walk.  NOT have room to put more stuff for sure. 

Those are all the hangers we took out too.  Jack took most of them to SUU.  I am NOT putting stuff back on them.  

Also saw a movie.  Wicked.  It was pretty good.  It wasn't as good as all the Hype but I finally was able to get tickets at a decent time and decent seats.  I love to go and sit there and eat theater popcorn and just have no one bother you.  

B Davis

 The time has come for B Davis to make her last visit to the Vet. Michelle had worried and thought about it for a LONG time.  B is old.  

She has had B for 19 years and they usually live about 16.  Brooke and I saved her eye a few years ago by putting drops in her eye every 2 hours round the clock on weekend when Michelle went out of town.  

She doesn't have many teeth left and she would find herself in a corner and not sure how to get out.

It is sad and she was skin and bones and gray hair.  

Michelle gave her a bath, and bought her a new blanket.  (above Pic)  and Left it for the vet.  They said they would wash it and use it. 

Injected her and it took about 20 seconds and she stopped breathing.  The Vet said that when it is that quick, they are ready to go.  Sad at the same time.  

Nick said he has never NOT known B.  He is 21.  

This is when we saved her eye. She had to wear that cone.

Took B and Lola to the airport with me.  Took a blanket so the seat wasn't cold

And B is now with Grandpa.  I know he is loving it with all his love for Dogs.  I will miss that B.  

New Years Day Golf

                       I saw that Schnieders Riverside and the Bluff was open for Golf on New Years day.  

We were all in for the golf.  Nick has only played once since he has been home from his mission.  

 It was super cold.  Like 35 degrees but they let us take a cart.  I forgot the Cart cover and the seat cover.  I did remember the golf heater that helped with the cold hands for a bit.  

It was a great day of golf.  I played horrible but I did get to use my new driver Andrew got me for Christmas.  I need some practice with it for sure.  But sure is fun to have a new club to use.  

Andrew did the best I think and Jack almost hit a guy but not sure he even noticed.  He hit the tree instead which saved him from hiting the guy.

After the golf, Jack decided we needed to get some food so we headed to Panda Express.  

Conveniently we got a call from Nick in Andrew's car asking if they were invited to the Panda.  Sure are.  Come on for a 2 item plate.  

Great day of golf on January 1.  Who golfs on New Years day?  It was a great idea.

Christmas Golf in Mesquite

 Went on a Golf trip to Mesquite after Christmas.  We did the Stay and Play which is a great deal.  We stayed at the Casa Blanca and also played golf at the Casa Blanca the first day.  It is Winter time so we started around 11:30 and got off just before dark.  It gets dark early right now.  

Casa Blanca is a good course, that is flat.  It is difficult for me but fun and beautiful.  I love desert motifs. 

This is the pool that was closed.  However, the hot tub was open so after dinner we found our way to the hot tub for about an hour.  Such a great way to unwind.

We also played at The Palms.  

That is Tom teeing off

Kent, Sandra, and Me

Sandra and me

That is Ted.  

This course was fairly flat on the front 9 and the back 9 was a challenge.  

I decided to start my watch to see how much I walked eventhough we took a cart.

I walked 4.8 miles with a cart and I started this late on the second or third hole.  No wonder I was tired. 

We also stopped at Cedar City to golf 9 on the way home.  You don't even need a tee time, just show up.  Love that about it.

Not a great pic but is all I got.  I want to play this one again in the summer time because it would be really pretty with the red rock.  

After Christmas

 Jack went to Michelle's house to watch BYU football.  I think BYU lost but he partied with the Pearts.

Brooke went to the Rowan and had Abi change her earing that Abi pierced a while ago.

And this is true.  Another year no hole in one.

Abi and Brody's collage from the year

Jack's collage.

And our brother in law (married to Melane who is dead) got another class ring.  Who needs another class ring or wanted one in the first place.  

Jack getting his picture taken for his new Driver license.  He lost his wallet about a month or two ago and is just getting around to getting a new one.
