A new year



January always seems like such a slow month. Christmas is over, except for the bills. The weather is still cold and spring is so far off. I shouldn't complain. It has been a relatively mild winter, especially compared to other parts of the country. The weather yesterday was great--close to 60 degrees--so I worked in the yard and then went for a scooter ride.

The new pictures: On top, two new stake presidencies that I trained last week, from Winston-Salem and Hickory. Here is a minor curiosity: The new Winston-Salem stake president--second from the left--is John Taggart Marsh. We figured out we were third half cousins once removed. The second picture is our newly renovated kitchen. We finished it just before Christmas and like it a lot. I woke up yesterday morning craving corned beef hash with a poached egg, so I made that for dinner last night. yummy!
