What the hell happened to January and February ????? I think I am related to Rip van Winkle and have lost some months here. (And NO I am not taking any little purple pills !) I think I just stepped into the jet stream or something. It might have to do with those snow birds that arrive in Florida in January and just hurry the pace of things. Everything gets more crowded and faster paced and I just got swept up in it, like the sea turtles in the movie " . . . " TOTAL BLANK . . . You know the movie with Dori the fish in it . . . OH "Finding Nemo", that's the one. The turtles catch the Gulf Stream and get swept all the way up the coast and all across the Atlantic. Well, that's me ! I've been swept up in some huge current of life and can't get out of it long enough to write a blog or check an e mail. I'm barely keeping ahead of the bill collectors ! This is all not to say I'm not having a good time. We can start at Christmas and move forward from there.
* Christmas in Florida a cruise with Kyle and family Great FUN !
* CHRISTMAS DAY with Kyle and family, Kent and family, Kristen's mom and lots of fun fun fun!
* New Years Keri and family arrived for their 4 month rental in a community just down the road from my community. Kyle and family left town and Kent and family joined us for New Year's Eve. Kent was DJ ing at a very popular local restaurant so Keri, Steve and Kristen went to celebrate and enjoy Kent's music and grand ma and the 5 kids all were asleep by 8:30 ! Best time EVER !
*Grand ma's teeth start falling apart and I get to spend a small fortune and many hours in the dentist office having oral surgery and getting caps and crowns on teeth ! Bah Humbug !
* I join the Life Long Learning Society at the local university campus of FAU (Florida Atlantic University) and attend a couple of lectures that are really interesting and fairly inexpensive. (Because I have nothing better to do with my limited time and money.)
* My friends Jeanne and Frank arrive for a month (to their condo in Hobe Sound) so I get to spend a lot of time with them.
* I attend a yoga class, which almost kills me, so I try a different yoga center and this one is much better so I make a vow to attend twice a week. So far I have been there ONCE!
* Because it is now the season of Lent and I have missed mass twice, eaten meat every Friday and not gotten ashes or gotten to mass on Ash Wednesday I have vowed to go to daily mass. I got there ONCE!
* February Abby arrived from Atlanta for 5 whole days with Grand ma! She flew ALONE ! We had a ball ! Laughed a lot and got to hang with cousin Kaelin and Finn a lot!
* I schedule knee replacement surgery for April 6.
* I go to Disney World with Keri and her family. Keri runs a half marathon on Sunday at Disney and then we walk around Disney World for 12 hours on Monday. No one dies! My knees are fine.
* I cancel my knee replacement surgery.
* I meet some new people through mutual friends and we hit it off so now I have more folks to hang out with in my free time. A lunch here and there and a drive down to Key Largo to pick up some tee shirts for friends back home. (Yes, I know you can get them on line but it's not the same as actually GOING to Key Largo!) Fortunately the new friend is a snow bird and returning to the cold North tomorrow so that social commitment will cease.
That about cover the adventures with the exception of the day to day stuff. My friends here are all complaining that they never get to see me any more and I am complaining that I never get to just sit and read the paper. Such problems !
