The Way February Has Proceeded.

February is my least favorite month of the year.  I hate winter weather, and February always arrives and seems to taunt me.  February makes it seem like spring will never arrive.

This February we haven't done too much outside of the house.

We did have a family appointment at the dentist.  We love our dentist.  His office is in the Sugarhouse area of SLC.  This trip, everyone came away cavity free!

So, we treated the kids to a visit to the planetarium, and had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen.  We were the only party in the restaurant, and we were there during the (usually busy) lunch hour.  Yes, since the City Creek mall opened, the Gateway Mall is definitely hurting. 

For two+ weeks I had been fighting a nasty cold-like bug.  The day after our dentist appointment I finally broke down and made an appointment to see the doctor.

Oh yeah, I had pneumonia.
I went to Nick's new pharmacy to get my prescription filled.  Isn't his new store downright attractive?!:

My physician gave me a Z-pack, and some heavy-duty cough syrup.  I started on the antibiotics, and truly expected to feel a lot better the next day.  No such luck.  The following day I felt even worse!  I suffered through the weekend, and by Monday I felt more like I was suffering from a really bad cold, and less like I was going to die.  I deemed it improvement.
It's been a month now, and I still have a lingering cough; but am feeling much better.

On Feb. 13th my Mom called and said that there was going to be a birthday celebration at my Grandma's house, and that she and my Dad were leaving in 15 minutes to attend.  Thanks for the advanced notice, Mom!  Ha Ha.  It was my Grandma's 85th birthday!  So, of course, I packed my kids up (Nick was working), and headed to Grantsville.
My kids love going to my Grandma's house.  It was definitely my favorite destination, when I was a kid.
We filled my Grandma's house to the brim, and only about half of the family was there!  It was such an enjoyable evening.  We had a cake, decked out with 85 candles!

My Grandma may be 85, but she could easily pass for 60.  She is sharp as a tack, and is always so well put-together.  She is always smartly dressed, and can converse on any topic.

I love my Grandma!
