Sorry to be so late - but MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, hope you have all had a great holiday.
Mine has been very quiet, am fighting a strep throat type infections, on a Zpac and been pretty much by myself since Wednesday. Thank heavens for Facetime and emails, etc.
We had cool mornings and 70s in the afternoons for Christmas...not quite South Fla. type Christmas that was always hot but not cold enough for coats or heavy clothes, just a sweater... Florida is weird in the climate department.Diane: Wow, what an exciting Christmas....but a bit worrisome. Glad all are safe.
Jim: Envy you two "just floating around in the ocean" --- my sister and I haven't had a cruise since Feb. of 2018...we had plans for 2020 but then our Covid event started and we are landlocked. I really need a cruise...it is like a charge to my psyche and so settling for my old bones and brain.
Youngest DD and husband and Cam & Evan are in Zurich, Switzerland for the holdidays... SIL is from there and he hadn't been home in over 3 yrs....so they planned a trip. DD has not "met her inlaws" and SIL lost a brother last year and couldn't attend the funeral. Just hoping they get back into the US next Saturday....fingers crossed.
I spend today by myself, Omicron on rise in the county and I was already "germy" so quarantined myself.
Oh, mentioning Evan, many of you will remember when turned from Grano8 to Grano9 - at his birth....he is now 21 yrs old and studying to be a "journeyman" - likes working with his hands... He'll never be without a job.. gee, time flies.
Sister and I Facetime every afternoon...she is widow, I am alone too, so we make coffee and sit and talk to each other every day - not the same as being in the same room, but better than a phone - at least you can see expressions and tell how the other is feeling....harder to hide your ups and downs and fib...LOLOLOL! about what's going on. We enjoy the time and it really has helped in the pandemic. We have not been "together in person" since we returned from a cruise in Feb. of 2019.....
Bought kitties new toys for Christmas, and they have preferred the bags, boxes and tissue paper more. Cats, they are really independent souls! (oh, they are brother sister pair, he is marmalade named Punkin and she is calico named Sweet Pea. They had saved my sanity the last two years...
Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and are well and safe..... gee, who ever would have thought this pandemic would last this long? Please stay well..................
