Happy Birthday to my Dad who would have been 98 today! I'm sure he is celebrating his
4th "Heavenly" birthday!
Very stormy day here with fog earlier when I left to walk at the mall and then the thunder, lightning, winds and heavy rain came! Really nasty!
I visited Donna Rae and Ed....took her a Peppermint Mocha and so enjoyed our time together. She gave me all the scoop on her granddaughter, Lauren's wedding this past Saturday!
Beautiful Christmas celebration!
Teary-eyed hugs and good-byes as I won't see her till next spring.
Mark walked at the mall and got a haircut. His barber, Brandon has graciously offered for us to keep the truck in his new storage shed over the winter. So, left the truck with him and I picked Mark up and we stopped at Fresh Market, lunch at Mandarin Garden (needed 1 more fix on our yummy favorite Chinese place) and then a stop at Binny's to stock up on wine.
I have been enjoying chatting with Patti (receptionist at therapy) about her new triplet grandchildren (2 boys and 1 girl) born December 10th and all doing well. When the babies were born at Edwards Hospital in Naperville, there were SEVEN sets of twins in the nursery!
Yikes...what was going on 9 months ago? Ha....
Good afternoon/evening to hunker down and stay indoors.
Just a miserable day.....quiet here without the boys.
Such strange weather around the country with golf courses thriving and ski resorts closing. As they said a few days ago, ZERO chance of a White Christmas for us! There's even a tornado watch out for areas near us today. And then at 3:00, the sun came out!
Philip, Annette and Luke traveled to Pensacola today and will spend Christmas with Ryan on "Terraphobic".
So sad to hear the news today that a Sublettian friend, Carole lost her daughter, Sherry (51) to brain cancer this morning (same glioblastoma that my cousin, Clarine had and another cousin, Karen has battled for almost 3 years).
The house just up the road from Kamp Komfort was destroyed by fire this afternoon - how tragic for the family especially at Christmas time
Heard today (via Michael) that Ryan and the Blues are doing a flyover for the Super Bowl on February 7th in Santa Clara, CA. And the team will be staying for the game!!!
I did 2 loads of laundry late this afternoon and Mark went to AT and T and bought our Christmas gifts to each other....new 6S I-phones! Boy-oh-boy....these should be FUN!
He came back and there was still some drying time left, so....we went to Happy Hour upstairs (last time - did a total of 3 this month). They had all kinds of pretty decorated cookies, eggnog and other yummy treats + the full bar.
Can't believe all the tornadoes in Mississippi - December 23rd!!!
So very sad to hear about the loss of life (4 at this point) and so much devastation.
The winds are howling tonight but weather has cleared here from any of the bad stuff.
I won 2 out of 3 games of 2-handed euchre against Mark.... rarity!
