I’m
alive. Being home for the holidays you
would think I would have more time to blog, but alas no. The older my son gets, the more time from me
he demands and both being home the last week he really insists we do things
together. I did get him a construction
project for us to do together for
Christmas. It’s Mindware’s STEM Newton'sLaws Engineering Kit.
It’s pretty neat, and on our first project, a
dragster car, either we did something wrong or there’s a mistake in the
procedures. Well, I’ll figure it
out. I am an engineer with 31 years of
experience. I would be forever embarrassed
if I couldn’t figure it out. I guess
this could be the engineering version of “Are You Smarter than an Eight Year
Old.”
The
other thing that’s taking my time is my mother.
Last note I included here she was still in the Rehab/Nursing home. She was discharged on the day before
Christmas Eve. Her hip is doing
great! She was outstanding in physical
therapy and other than Tylenol she has not needed any more pain medicine. Two minor issues came up. A urinary flow issue and a stomach reflux
issue. Both issues were there to begin
with, but undergoing the operation may have exacerbated them. She just needs to follow up with some
specialists. Physical therapist is
coming to the house a few times a week, but he doesn’t think she’s going to
need much more.
What
I’ve missed is to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year. I hope it was all special for you
and blessed. I'm not sure if I’ve never
posted “O Holy Night” before. It has
become my favorite Christmas carol. I
could listen to it all day long. And I
came across this singer I had never heard of before, Katie Melua. From what I understand she’s somewhat well known. It’s me that’s pop culture ignorant. Melua is a British young lady but an
immigrant from the country Georgia. She
went back to her country to make this album, In Winter, and on it there are a couple of beautiful songs in her native Georgian
language. Backing her on “O Holy Night” and
on other songs is a choir from her native land, Gori Women's Choir. I hop you enjoy it.
