Sun., Mon., & Tues. Dec. 10-12
From a dampish MO,
The past three days have been rather active - or at least for old folks! We enjoyed the Sunday newspapers as usual, watched football and later Texas basketball (what a thriller), and in general just relaxed. We just can't take late hours and even though we left the Ross home about 9:30 p.m. - just a little late for us.
We have walked Monday and Tuesday mornings (can't remember if we walked Sunday). We did a series of errands on Monday a.m. and then I joined five others (Mary Willis, Judy Mathew, Clara Ratliff, Jan Logan, and Sandy McGinnis -- for lunch and then went on to the Senior Center to see the marvelous array of cleaned and new toys to be distributed by the RSVP program called Joy Toys. Many, many hours are spent in the fall by a group of retired people cleaning toys to get them ready for distribution. I'm thinking that maybe over 500 children received items last year.
After our walk this a.m., again we did a couple of errands and in general have been rather lazy. Helen had called this a.m. indicating she hadn't been able to pull in the infamous blog (just too lazy on Monday to write) and that she was coming down so we ended up having lunch at Piece of Cake. Jim, the girls, and I napped this afternoon and Jim and I are now home from the wrestling meet.
The CT tonight carried a very interesting article with a photo taken by Joe Neis of a mountain lion - just in the area northeast of Chillicothe. Joe evidently takes photos that are triggered by action to determine deer in an area and was rather shocked when he developed the photo and a mountain lion appeared. I know Ruth Miller indicated in her Christmas letter last year that sightings had been made, but nothing had been substantiated.
Jim will join both breakfast groups in the a.m. while I need to putter around the house. My right arm is giving me more and more problems so I have an excuse not to do anything that causes much action with it.
Julie Smith called this evening (from Manchester, NH) as she had just read the Christmas letter that I mail. She has been quite busy and plans on retiring this coming June - 40 years in education!
Be safe.
