I can't believe it has been so long since I posted...sorry about that! Christmas was wonderful - as it usually is - Christmas Eve Jocelyn and I went over to Dian and Nigel's for dinner..Nigel had smoked spareribs all day - and they were mighty delicious ! I went back to Jocelyn's to spend the night, as I have done the last 3 Christmases,....Everyone came there on the big day..I was so proud I completed all my projects...a crocheted afghan for Dian and handmade tote bags for Marcia, Jocelyn and Sheri...( I had already sent a bag to Susie) everything looked great, if I do say so myself! We had prime rib for dinner - I LOVE prime rib!! A very busy day and I was really glad to home to my own bed. The kids all went together and got me a new flat screen TV..which thrills me to pieces!! I will get it some time this week - I hope. I will need to rearrange my whole living room set-up so we can hang it on the wall - but that's okay. We brought the TV I am now watching up from Seaside 6-7 years ago....and it was not new even then. ,..So...a treat for ME!
New Year's Eve was pretty uneventful...Had dinner with Dian and Jocelyn and then went down to the party the building was putting on. We played CLR and I won two times...greatly increasing my quarter collection....(for the laundry) .. I left around 11 - I was tired - and I didn't want to be embarrassed by winning any more! LOL
This week is being spent gearing up for my Birthday on Friday....by that I mean MENTALLY getting ready for it....I will be - (HOLD YOUR BREATH) 80 years old....I am really finding it difficult wrapping my mind around that......that hardly makes any difference - it is going to happen whether I like it or not. I just never figured I would be around that long..I am glad I am though - around, that is. The first Tuesday of each month they have a party for us birthday people...so, of course, I went...it was nice. They have a cake and punch and sing to us,...lasted under an hour. It was nice.
Friday will probably bring some casino action and out for dinner with everyone...Love it!!
