Been recovering since our return home. Craig and Janet came up for New Year's Eve and we played pickleball. It felt good to be active again. They all went to bed around 10 but I stayed up and went over to the Gilchrist village neighborhood driveway party.
Trip Log
Great visit up north for the holidays. Got back home about 4:30 today. Watched Saturday night football at Jeff's along with old home movies and Sunday football at Mike's and left Jeff's on Monday Morning. Made reservations in Florence, SC for Monday night. Traffic was very heavy all the way.
We hosted the family Christmas Eve party at Jeff and Danielle's house and everyone had a wonderful time. We started with a ham dinner with plenty of other fixin's.
Danielle is working, the kids are at school and Jeff and Alesa are making a shopping list for Christmas Eve dinner. They asked me to go shopping with them but I declined.
And tomorrow will be 61 and on Christmas Eve it will be 71 here in Pennsylvania. Spent yesterday at Mike's mostly watching football and recovering from the trip.
Had a Christmas party on Thursday night with Alesa's Silver Dragons Dragon Boat club and left Friday morning after 8 and headed north in a light rain. It cleared quickly and we had good weather and traffic as we headed toward Alesa's cousin in McGaheysville, VA. We arrived about 6 in Ft.
Happy Birthday, Alesa. Getting ready for the trip north. We are hosting Christmas Eve at Jeff's for the family so Alesa has made sock cookies for a decorating contest. She was worried about cutting out a couple dozen pair of sock cookies so I made her a cookie cutter.
Golfed at Sandhill on Sunday. Been golfing only on Sunday for the last month as we are busy with other activities. Craig and Janet stopped over that evening after meeting with their finance guy, our friend Jim Miller the CPA who was a Gannon professor.
Lots of leftovers and Craig and Janet came back up and we all went to play pickleball, then some basketball and then the exercise stations before coming home for lunch. After which Mike and his family left to spend the night with friends in Mt.
Last night we went to dance to Scooter at Lake Sumter before going out to Evergreen for Chinese buffet. Today we celebrated Thanksgiving with Mike, Lisa, Elyse, Annika, Craig, Janet, Paul, Carol and Lois. Tomorrow, Mike and family are headed to Mt. Dora then back home.
