Our temperatures have returned to their normals for this time of the year.  Put
the blanket on the pool yesterday, the temps. going down at night make the water
too cool for swimming during the day.  Packing our suit cases and getting ready
to leave on Tues. morning for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  It is going to seem
weird coming home, and no left over turkey.   Don't remember when I have not
fixed a bird for the Holiday.  It will be nice to see all the family.

Got my Pneumonia shot today and feeling a little puny.   I think it might have
been just a little too soon after I got rid of my cold.   Actually, I think I
still have a little infection in the sinus.   Lost all sense of taste and smell,
so had to go see the ears, nose and throat doctor today.   He wants to do a ct.
scan of the sinus to see if that is the cause.   Have that scheduled for after
thanksgiving.

We are back from our celebration with the children.   Had a great time, the Ice
Show was spectatular, good for all ages, Thanksgiving dinner was good and we
went to the Parade of Lights Festival the following evening.   One and a half
miles of dancing lights.  Everyone enjoyed the heated pools, spas, and river
rafting.  Three very busy days, but a good time was had by all.

That is such  a shame Earline, I can think of at least two people that would
love it.   If only I lived closer, I would purchase it for my daughter.   She
loves to play, but her piano went up in flames when she had her house fire.
With the Holidays getting close, I decided that with the first of the New Year I
would renew my subscription to ancestry.com again.   Got the full subscription
for 6 months.   I really missed not having it, but was not using it enough to
keep it.   Hoping I will make time to get back to work.

Showers this morning, going to low 60's.

My grandson Levi had his first solo performance on Friday night and I missed it,
he sings and plays guitar. My granddaughter went to see Justin Bieber in Toronto
last night with her mom and grandfather.

I'm not a very good plumber, the sink still leaks. The band-aid didn't work,
everything needs to be replaced except the sink.

Mine is not either.   His father was an electrician, so he can do a little
electrical work, but other then that, nothing.   Geo. worked behind a desk all
his working life and he is more comfortable there then being a Jack of all
trades.    My father, on the other hand, could do just about everything, so I
learned a lot watching and used to be the handyman in this house, until I
decided, I am too old to do that kind of stuff anymore.  Winterizing the boat is
not any more difficult then winterizing a motorhome.   Just make sure you get
the anti-freeze all the way through the lines - pump it through.  Make sure the
anti-freeze is something that you can rinse with water for drinking.  A friend
of mine used to winterize his boat with vodka, and in the spring he would fill
the water tank and have a party with the vodka water.  A little expensive for my
way of thinking.
Just about finished with my decorating and have all the Cards written out with
eight to get notes and they are done.

he asked to do it is taking his time. It wasn't in the water yet so it's just
running fuel stabilizer, fogging the air intake and taking out the batteries.
It's inside but there's no heat. I'm just about ready to go do it myself too,
lol.

Foggy this morning but sunny all afternoon.  Ready to start my baking this week.

Oh, I agree Earline.   The crooks and bad guys have all the guns, all that would
do now, would be to stop the honest people from getting them.    I think there
is a gross over reaction to the Newtown massacre.   One nut case is what it is
all about.   We should be more concerned about those that walk amoung us, then
who is carrying a gun.   This is had problems for many years, and I don't think
he is alone, there are more out there not being treated and protected by
parents.
Our temps. went down into the low 30's for the past two nights.   Frost last
night and I did not cover plants.   I hope they will not be damaged by the
frost.   Some are covered by the eaves that over hang, but some I should have
covered.  I may lose two gardenias, but I can always replace them so not going
to worry.
I am just about ready for Christmas, we will be having a standing rib roast for
the two of us with mashed potatoes and gravy with either peas or green beans.  
No Yorkshire pudding this year.   Too much trouble for the two of us and we
don't need that much rich food.  Pumpkin pie and mince meat pie for dessert.
Hope you and your family will be enjoying a fine Christmas dinner also.

"against the British and supporters during the revolutionary war" or "against
foreign invasion". I don't think they had the foresight to predict what the
result would be in the future.
