On the 1st, after just arriving from the great white north, we stayed up a couple hours into the new year. Stayed home most of NY day with Kathy resting and Jef catching up on paperwork.

On the 2nd, Jef drove to SD to get dentist to restart implant procedure. Apparently, the last bone graft failed, so he tried another kind of bone graft this day. Did some shopping before returning home to Borrego.

On the 3rd, as Mia's grave had been dug up, Jef filled in the hole in the front yard and dug a hole in the back yard.

On the 4th, mostly stayed at home all day. Kathy took is easy, as she is still sick. Jef took Pepper on walk, but aborted when Pepper fooled around too much - went out for 20 minutes total (maybe 3/4 mile).
