Nifty, nifty...Look who's 50!

Most of the world will be observing the end of 2008 today and the beginning of 2009 tomorrow...not me! I'm celebrating my friend Lizzy's 50th birthday. So, I say, rejoice in all that was wonderful and glorious about 1958 …

For age is just a state of mind
And life can be such fun
And you still know how to party
As much as anyone

Happy Birthday, Liz!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Merry Christmas

Back in Flagler Beach for the holidays and enjoying the fabulous weather - just the medicine to cure a winter cold. Finally started taking drugs yesterday to clear up the old noggin. Did do a double take this morning thinking I had slept thru Christmas when I heard the garbage trucks out picking up trash. OMG! They pick up garbage on Christmas. Ever hear anything so amazing? Monte opened his present this morning, a DOGZILLA! He played with it awhile until he got bored or tired - not sure which. Anyway, he took me out for our walk to visit the beach and check out the neighborhood. Glad to hear all are experiencing much better weather - it's 60's in Texas and a hot 45 degrees in Connecticut - and the company of friends and family. Sending one and all a virtual hug...Merry Christmas!

Let it snow

Arrived in Richardson Friday afternoon after several missed turns...can't live with GPS, can't live without it! Anyway, I be here relaxing and visiting with Rikka and Kali as well as with Beth and Pat. Nothing spectacular on our agenda except the Dallas Stars for Pat's 71st birthday. Looking at the sky yesterday, I predicted snow and sure enough last night we had brief flurries. I hate being right!

Ice!

Althought I did not personally get to visit with Santa, I was able to meander through a winter wonderland at the Ice Exhibit. A brisk 8 degress made me think I was back in Connecticut!

Moving right along

Just have to say Thanksgiving couldn't have been better...a real treat for me to spend it with my sister and brother and their families including dogs in all shapes and sizes. Here's a big shout out to Jayne, Karl, Janet, Gig, and Liz. Hope your Thanksgiving was as fine. Miss you! I also got to spend some time fixing up my home away from home since I stopped moving around for awhile. Who knew there were so many places to put stuff - not me! Got to get organized. I left Annette's on the Monday following Thanksgiving and moved on up to Millsap and Kevin's house. Kevin and Luz had a special surprise for me - a trip to see Santa with Kayla and Liz...
