Thursday - December 20

Dreary day with rain coming.....we exercised with our new routine from Larry.   I took Liam to school as he has later start time today and tomorrow (algebra at the high school is finished for the semester).   Then to my last PT session - can't thank Tricia and Donna enough for making my shoulder
 feel sooo good! 

Back to Eastland and finished up laundry which Mark had started.     Met Martha and Bob at Garden of Paradise - yummy lunch and great visit.   Always fun to be together and yak about our families, travels, winter plans, etc....

Martha and Bob

Mark got a haircut in the afternoon.   Later we took more things to storage.  Nasty rainy afternoon and evening.    We were invited to our friends, Earl and Rhea's home for wine and appetizers.    What fun to be together again and catch up.   We had dinner at Mandarin Garden, a favorite of all.

Rhea and Earl

 I was in Exchange Club with Earl (Martha, too) and they have been big fans and supporters of Ryan and the Blue Angels.    Earl received the "Normal Citizen of the Year" award this summer.    Well deserved!!!

This completes the socializing for December here in Bloomington - sure have enjoyed all the breakfasts, lunches and dinners, but most of all, being with dear, long-time friends.  

Santa and Luke 
Maeve with Mommy - still not sure of the big guy in red!
Earlier this week, Luke's class had breakfast with Santa and then took a carriage ride (in their jammies) around downtown Morganton.

Tomorrow we are off to Mendota and then Dixon on Saturday for family Christmases.    So, taking a break from the blog!    Have a great weekend!
