Dec 29 2011
So I am way behind on updates, for a number of reasons. But life is good for Chris and I . We are both in jobs that get crunched at month end and especially year end. but The good news is that we are in Florida doing our last work days of the year! We are blessed. Today was cool, only in the low 70’s. Tomorrow should be better. We got down to the pool a couple of days before the cold front came through.
Christmas was good. Mom is settled in her assisted living apartment and we all feel she is doing well. Some comments about her having to move from her 2 bedroom apartment, and all we had to get rid of in downsizing. But even those comments have stopped. She gets around in her wheel chair well, we don’t think she walks and that is OK. With that knee it would be too painful. And her apartment is nice and we tried to move in everything she wanted (well almost). On Christmas we all had dinner with her in the restaurant there and it was very good. She says she gets too nervous with too much going on. So we had dinner and then were invited to Neice Denise’s condo for drinks, snacks and the Packer game. we had a good time, then flew out the day after Christmas, Chris Mary Jane and I.
December was a very busy month. It started out with us going to Detroit on Thanksgiving for the Packer game. Chris’s sister Marie met us and then came home with us for a week. On Dec 9th we came down to Florida, Chris and I. And Marie headed home. The first time Chris and I got to see our new dining room cabinets! And good friend Noel picked us up at the airport and stayed with us for the long weekend. Our annual trip to see the intercoastal Christmas boat parade. We had a great time.
Then lot’s of things going on and work has been hell. But I am hoping to be more under control to start the year. We hope you all had a good Christmas and wish you the very best for a HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
HELLO RANDY AND CHRIS,
WILL I GUESS IT IS ALMOST TIME TO END THIS YEAR AND BEGIN A NEW ONE. THIS YEAR WENT BY REALLY FAST AND WE FEEL THAT WE DIDN’T ACCOMPLISH MUCH. BUT GUESS BEING IN GOOD HEALTH RIGHT NOW IS MORE IMPORTANT AND WE WILL TRY FOR THE NEW YEAR TO BE ALITTLE MORE ACTIVE AND TRY TO DO ALITTLE MORE TRAVELING.
SOUND LIKE YOU AND CHRIS ARE HAVING A BALL, BUT THEN OF COURSE YOU BOTH ALWAYS MAKE THE BEST OF LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOU CONTINUE TO DO ALL YOU LOVE TO DO IN THE NEW YEAR AND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
KNOW MARIE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO HER TRIP TO FLORIDA, AND THEN TO SWITZERLAND. WE ARE REALLY HAPPY THAT SHE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO TRAVEL AND THAT SHE IS DOING AS MUCH AS SHE CAN.
YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL END OF 2011 AND MAY YOU HAVE A BETTER 2012. GOD BLESS
Glad you are getting a chance to enjoy your Florida estate. We wish you the best for the New Year.
And, so where’s the beer?
Wishing all three of you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. I know you’ve been having a good time as I have not heard from you all week. I’m sure work has been keeping you busy as the year ends. 2012 has to be a better year for all of us. See you soon. love Marie
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY NEW FRIENDS OUT THERE
Thanks for the good wishes! Mike had some great beer! Dogfish head, Avery, Lagunitas, Brewzii, Tequesta. And a couple of good cigars! happy New Year
