We got a couple of inches of snow the other day but it didn't stick on the driveways or roads. We got a couple of more inches yesterday and it did stick so I'll have to scrape and probably shovel a little.
Trip Log
Monday we went to see "Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy". It started out very confusing but tied together well so we both enjoyed it and then off to "Lasorda's" for 'all you can eat' mussels which were also very good.
This year I turn 65 and was able to buy a 'Senior Lifetime' Pennsylvania fishing license. Since I buy one every year it should be quite a savings. Am thinking about the lifetime hunting license as well.
The kids skied all day yesterday and ended the day in the hot tub, then Jeff and family went tubing and Mike and Lisa made a last few runs at night.
The kids all made it on Thursday night but had to drive through a blizzard at the end, and I don't mean the Dairy Queen type. It has been warm here lately and we hoped for snow but that was a little much although the grandkids were excited to see it on their way up.
Last Friday Alesa took the train downtown with Diane D. and attended a concert at the Kimmel Center. On Tuesday morning we drove to Monroeville through State College and Altoona, visited the world famous Horseshoe Curve and spent the night in Monroeville and even got to visit the mall.
Yesterday we took a day trip with the Goodman's to Winchester, Virginia to tour a continuing care retirement community called Winchester-Canterbury. Bob has taken a 6 week sabbatical from work to investigate their future.
Thursday morning I went to HUP (Hospital of the University if Pennsylvania) for my AFibAblation. We had to be there at 6:30 AM then after the paperwork waited for 3 hours for a room.
Took the truck into the shop on Monday and blew copious volumes of smoke all the way. The bad news is that I have a blown headgasket and the good news is that it is covered under warranty. The job should take about a week.
Wednesday we had the girls for a few hours while Mike and Lisa went to his boss's Christmas party in the area and on Thursday we went to breakfast with the Schweds. We had our family Christmas on Christmas eve day and it was another wonderful get together.
