TIME MOVES ON WHETHER WE DO OR NOT
January 16, 2013
It is hard to believe we have been home from Yosemite since mid August and I am just now getting around to writing even a few lines. We have been enjoying life in San Diego with each other and extended family. We share meals just because, celebrate birthdays and other events and realize how lucky we and the rest of our family are to basically be in good health.
First thing on the agenda really was a trip for Paul to MD to see his sister and from there to Ohio to see his brother. It was a good trip for him and we are glad he went as he lost his sister on Thanksgiving.

Halloween is a much bigger holiday then when we kids. Used to be the school carnivals, homemade costumes and maybe if you were lucky you got to bring home a goldfish!

Thanksgiving gave us a lot of one of our favorite foods . . .turkey and dressing. Mike did the honors of cooking, we did the honor of eating!

Christmas came with two more turkeys cooked here and a third one done the Tuesday after Christmas when Robiin was home from her Nutcracker Tour to Billings. Unlike years ago I did very little sewing. One pirate themed quilt for the favorite pirate around here. We had a wonderful time here at home and as with most ate too many goodies. Enjoyed them every one needless to say. A total of 22 family and extended family met at Robin and Mike's for dinner and White Elephant exchange. Dolores and I enjoyed being on the ''other'' side of the counter and letting the 'youngsters' take over most of the work.
We both have our computers and time and space and each spends time doing the usual for us. Paul does stocks and reads news. I check out e-mail, news, Twitter, Facebook and find it hard to remember life before computers. I often walk early mornings around our blocks and through Kate Sessions Park. Paul sometimes walks through the park or goes to the beach and walks.

Reading takes up a lot of time and this pretty much tells it like it is.

The TARTS are a unique group and as "therapy groups" go, this is one of the best and we go home refreshed after multiple discussions about any and everything. We discuss everything from current ailments, the weather, animals and care, politics, death & dying, books, etc. No subject is taboo and we may not always agree but we remain friends and get new and/or different viewpoints on lots of things.
We wish all of you the best possible 2013 and look forward to contacts in all forms as the year progresses.
I think Gandhi has it right!!

I enjoyed looking over your blog. And I laughed heartily at the FB post of the snake learning to knit. I think that's me a lot of times, trying to do that which I am not equipped to do..
hugs from Nor.Cal
I board a train back to William on the 31st.
