Post-Christmas Musings

Here it is Sat., Dec. 29 and after a breakfast of French Toast, eggs, sausage, coffee and orange juice we are ready to start the day. At this RV park one can go into the clubhouse on Saturday and for a nominal charge have a nourishing breakfast and socialize. There is also a large screen TV for those who wish to watch TV.

Wow - Social Security gave us a 2% increase to cope with rising costs! What a Christmas gift! Anyone out there think the cost of living has risen only 2%.

And would you believe that the weatherman has been wrong three days in a row? Yes, no freezing fog or snow here in the wintering grounds as the regional American Indians referred to this area. It was 30 degrees last night at the lowest temp and possibly be in the 40s this afternoon. Now we have January to look forward to.

Christmas Eve at Jo & Chris' then Christmas Day at Renee's place. This year we saw Christmas from an eight year old granddaughter plus an 8 month old grandson. Many, many gifts were shared, and among ours was a web cam, Cinema gift card, neck scarves, patio spinners, and Dairy Queen gift card. No Christmas Eve services at the church of Marji's choice this year, but the Christmas Eve/Children's program was good .. a lot of Christmas carols sung plus a short message went along with choirs and a very short pageant.

One of the Resolutions this year will be to activate hobbies in our lives .. too much TV for these senior citizens .. when one memorizes the TV listings then it is time to change! Also activating is the key .. hobbies in which to get the body and mind moving doesn't include computer games or forums (or blogs for that matter).

Well, best get the move on for the "stuff" that needs to be done or finished today.
Shalom.
