Getting Set for Florida

We are leaving on Friday for Florida. We plan on staying for the month of February. It will be fun. Jerry and Carol are coming over for a few days. Sherry is coming. Tom and Peg are trying to come, also. Sherry will come again. Margaret may come over, and maybe Cathy and Frank. You can never tell!!! Rudy and Sandy will be there when we get there, so we shall have lots of fun.

Notes on a Sunday

Well, today is a sunny cold Sunday. The cove is frozen. The air is crisp. I have to begin packing today for Florida. I have been packing, mentally, for several days...making lists, revising lists, etc. There is a lot to remember. Fortunately we are not locking up the house. Dave and s. will be here to take care of things. Good!

Snow Today

Today is Christopher's birthday. Happy Birthday, son. They are returning from the Bahamas today. I hope they had fun!

Cold in New Jersey

Well, it is very cold here today. The snow has stopped, the sky is blue with big fluffy clouds. But, it is freezing. It is 15 degrees out here.
I worked on web work today, learning how to solve a problem, and got that all squared away.
Alan had to go shovel the track so the kids could work out. Unfortunately, one of them fell last night in the Millrose trial race. They were doing a great job, the anchor leg, pumping as fast as he could, and in his attempt..he fell. What a disappointment for everyone there. But, the season is still young.
Tonight Alan and I are going out to dinner after driving Trevor to CCD for his mom.
Tomorrow, off to the cinema with Joyce Rose to see Slumdog Millionaire. It is, after all, the Golden Globe winner. I want to see it.
C, M and C had a delayed flight to the Bahamas, but they are there now and probably swimming away!!! I know they will love it.

January 2009

I don't know today's date, perhaps the 8th or ninth? When you are retired, if you don't have a doctor appointment coming up, the date doesn't matter much.
It is pouring today, just pouring. Joyce Rose and I are heading out to the movies today to see Doubt. Meryl Streep in anything is great. Well, maybe Mama Mia was a stretch. She was good...movie was so-so.
I did phones yesterday afternoon since Liz had laryngitis. She sounded awful. I did hospital in the morning (too many very sick people there yesterday) and then phones in the afternoon.
C sent me an article about a fire he worked on. He had to go to the attic and send water through the walls, or some such. It makes me nervous but very proud of the man.
S is going through the usual frustrations and joys of coaching. Good thing he has his dad for advice. They talk every day about coaching.
bye for now
