Bah Humbug, Scrooge, etc., etc....that's probably what some would call me today as the boys and I (Grandpa helped, too) put away some of the Christmas decorations. Trying to keep ahead of the game with all there's to do before we leave Saturday. But....me who loves Christmas sooooo much taking things down on December 22nd????
We exercised this morning and then I had 8:20 eye check-up (all good). Mark took the boys to McDonalds to meet the Monday morning group and then picked me up at 9:15 (eyes were dilated) and we had another 45 minutes to sit and chat with everyone. We won't see these folks till next spring, except for Sue and Jerry in FL.
It has been raining all day - just a nasty Monday. After breakfast Grandpa was our chauffeur and Liam and I dropped off some winter coats and toiletries at the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Home to make waves with the Christmas décor and Grandpa ran a few more errands, We took a break after lunch and played our 2nd round of dominoes with Liam, the winner.
Good day to be indoors making rollo/pretzel/m and m treats and the boys and Grandpa played rummy.
While we're in the rain, cold and gloom, here's Uncle Ryan and Luke basking in the warm
Florida sunshine....
The Sunbirds
The boys chose Steak 'n Shake for supper, but we never got seated - 3 people were in front of us and we stood there and waited and waited.....one man who was seated, got up and walked out and said "I've been waiting 20 minutes to be waited on" and out the door he went! So, we left, too....went to Monicals (2nd choice) and enjoyed good pizza, salad and mac and cheese (Connor).
As the rain continued to come down, we drove around town (east side and west side) to look at Christmas lights - wow....some folks really go all out (BIG time gaudy), but fun to see it all. Stopped at Meijers for a few groceries and on home for another round of dominoes won by
Grandma - tah dah!!!!! The stiff competition continues...
Come on, Connor....your turn!
