New Year's Eve

Dave and I had errands to run today and we wanted to walk one of the nature parks.  After walking at Largo Nature Park where we saw lots of critters, we then ran errands.  We decided to eat lunch at JD's and then had to get gas and pick up medicine for Dave.  We didn't get home until almost 3:00.  Then Dave helped me put together an egg casserole for tomorrow.  (People here call them stratas.)  So it's in the fridge and we'll bake it in the morning.  We have to be at the clubhouse for brunch at 10:00. 

Tonight we ate popcorn and watched The Lion King...fabulous animation - the animals look so real.  I wonder how they did that!!

Monday

No Fun Shuffle again today.  Only 4 people showed up so we elected not to play.  Maybe next week!! 

I felt better today.  Since we didn't shuffle, I went to get my hair cut.  I was getting very shaggy.  Not any more.  She cut it really short!  It won't blow much in the wind at least! 

I was the only one who didn't win at bingo tonight.   I wonder why I don't win????  I was waiting on almost every game, but no such luck!

Sunday

When I woke up this morning, I was still dizzy but we went to church anyway.  By the time church was over, I could hardly wait to go back to bed.  I got up around 2:45 this afternoon and ate my salad.  Then a bit later Dave said he was going to nap in his chair so I went back to the bed to read.  I fell asleep again.  This time I woke up about 6:00!  My neck is stiff but I feel much better!  Sure hope I can sleep tonight!!

Saturday

The best thing about this day was getting to video chat with my family while they were all together for their Christmas!  We even got 'blown kisses" from both Rowyn and Oaklyn!  McCoy was all smiles, too...and Blaise told us he's coming to Florida this spring with Grandma Linda!!  The girls don't get to come, but Blaise does.  It'll be fun to have him around here!

Other than that, my day sort of tanked.  My Cyclones played very poorly and I had a bout with vertigo and had to go lie down.  I'm still having a few problems, so I'll be taking a mecclizine when I go to bed.

Friday

Dave and I divided up the leftover ham and turkey and delivered it to those who cooked it.  I am loving having leftover ham.  It is so good on my salads!  So is the turkey, but the ham is wonderful!  Since we were out delivering goodies, we also got our walk in.  Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.  We're planning to take down all the Christmas decorations.  What fun!  I've enjoyed having them up.  The lights are so inviting.  I'm going to miss my fiber optic angels, too.  They are so pretty!

Thursday

No lawn care this morning for Dave so we both slept in.  He slept until 8:20 and I got up at 8:57!  That was fun!  I guess we were both tired from yesterday!

After breakfast and showers, we ran errands.  Went to Skechers where he bought two new pairs of shoes.  Then to the Walmart Neighborhood Market for some groceries.  After that we put our cold groceries in a cooler and went to Sawgrass.  We finally saw a big alligator and a little one in about the same area.  We even talked to a couple of park rangers to see if the big guy with the stub tail was still in the park.  They had no idea how he lost his tail, but he's still around.  It was a great day for a walk.

Merry Christmas

We did it.  We had another successful Christmas dinner!  There were 51 people at dinner and lots of food!  We even had two tables of desserts.  I'm very tired but it's a good tired.  At Thanksgiving, Sandy sits down and lets everyone else clean up.  Didn't work that way for us.  Seems like every time there's a dinner, it's the Midwestern folks who do all of the cleanup.  The Eastern folks just watched up do the work.  Wonder how I can change that?????

We called Bryan today so got to see the little ones.  Didn't get Jami called, but saw a picture of the older grandchildren on Facebook!  That was good.  I also didn't get Bob called but I sent a text out to my family.
