Hello!

Long time no see a post from me!  All is well and I must admit I get lazier the older I get!

Jim is now riding around in style.  This was his first time on uneven ground and I must say it works pretty good.  He uses it when we're going to be on hard surfaces for any length of time.  Used it quite a bit when we went to Disney World.  Most of the time he uses his cane

Before we went to Disney my Amaryllis pushed out two big blooms but no leaves

Much of Florida has been on fire this past month.  Fortunately nothing close to us.  The drought is still on, so the rain we've had recently is helping

Mothers Day was a treat!  Chris and Sonsearae took us to dinner at Osaka where we enjoyed the hibachi.  Dinner and a show, what more could you need?

Falling Behind

 Where does the time go?  Sometimes it passes so slowly that life is boring.  Other times we're so busy I wish it would slow down.

Last month we celebrated Sonsearae's 55th birthday!  She can't be that old!! Where did the time go? 

We celebrated at Walt Disney World of course.  A couple of friends from High School joined her and they had tons of fun. These Orchids are at the Polynesian Resort where we had breakfast on the last morning of our stay 

We watched the parade at Magic Kingdom

Tree of Life

The Birthday Girl

Unfortunately Jim caught a bug and gave it to me. We've been battling it since we returned home.  It's long past time to get over it!

or will be soon

Catching Up

 As I mentioned I had a birthday last month and medically speaking there are days when I feel it. I just saw my doctor and had tests done.  Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure that could be improved upon.  Same tiresome issues.

Had a lovely birthday!  Sonsearae is very thoughtful and makes sure I'm remembered.  Of course, food was involved like two boxes of Dark Chocolate covered Cherries and she gave me this Tinker Bell purse

Jim has a birthday coming up in February and our daughter is turning 55 this month so what better place to celebrate than WDW?  We're heading down on Monday for some fun.  Sonsearae will be with a couple of high school friends, but we'll share her and perhaps keep them all entertained with our antics. 

All these cold front are keeping our country well chilled!  Forecasters kept saying we could get snow in Tallahassee...though it has been raining for several hours the temperature outside is 48 degrees this gloomy Sunday morning.

Had a lovely dinner with Chris and Sonsearae Saturday night.  Restaurant was new to us Liam's  and in Georgia.  Not a large menu so it was easy to choose what to eat.

Spent Sunday mostly thinking about packing and packing.  We did watch a football game.  It annoys the crap out of me that it's like a lottery trying to find the NFL games!  Most of the time we can't view them.  Ate out of the fridge, little bit of this, a little bit of that.

It's 0700 and I'm waiting for Jim to get up.  All that's left to pack are toiletries and the cold food bag, then we can load up and hit the road.  Hopefully it will warm up enough to melt the frost on the car. Did you see where the Panhandle of Florida got snow?  Didn't quite reach us, we just had cold rain.

Disney Visit

Thought I'd share a few more 'festive' pictures from our trip to WDW.  It's hard to put into words the extent Disney goes to to decorate the parks and resorts.  Each resort has a theme and they're all beautiful.  It's like being a kid in a candy shop, your eyes dart everywhere to take it all in

We had a wonderful meal here...forget the name of the restaurant but it had Mickey, Goofy and Chip & Dale greeting all the diners.  It also slowly rotated!  Fascinating to watch servers, characters and visitors navigating this round about. It was family style dining that started with a salad and included mashed potatoes, turkey and gravy, green beans, squash and cornbread.  And all you can eat!  They brought the buffet to us.

As always spending time with Sonsearae and Chris is wonderful family time!  Sonsearae has insider knowledge of visiting WDW because she's been so many times!

Are you Ready?

 This time of year I feel the need to ask, are you ready?  While I no longer go all out for the holidays I want to know if everyone else is ready.

Do you send cards?  I do and I'm always wanting to make and send more.  Sonsearae makes and bakes a lot during this season and man is she busy!

Do you make gifts to give?  Bake cookies for exchanges?  Are you ready?

Will you have a large family and friends gathering?  Do you host?  So, what's for dinner?

Earlier this month we had a short trip to Disney World.  Chris and Sonsearae along with Jim helped me celebrate my 77th birthday. WDW was all decked out for Christmas and the weather was perfect.  Some areas were crowded but we didn't mind slowing down as there is so much to see!
