Happy New Year's Eve!

The picture on the blog tonight is one Don took a couple of days ago when I was working on the computer. Our connection from here is dial up, so it’s very slow. Ugh; that’s one of the bad things about traveling, but I’m so glad to be able to connect at all.

Today I’ve been looking for a friend from days in Chattanooga. I have her snail mail address, but the phone number I have is not current. I guess I’ll have to break down and send a snail note! I’ll find her!

Today has been a busy day. I ground chia seeds, made hamburger patties with chia seeds and made a jello salad, jello pieces, a pasta salad and chex. We were out of ground chia and the hamburger was waiting to be put into patties. The rest I just did because it seemed like the time to do it. I walked by myself because it was too cold for Don. He’s so funny; he’s only good for great warm days. It was only briskly cold; the wind wasn’t bad, so I enjoyed it.

We have a couple of ponds by our room and there is a fountain in each one. For some reason neither fountain has been working since we’ve been here. I asked a couple of people about it and called about it yesterday. Still they weren’t working today. I climbed up onto my soap box and called them, again! Everything I see about this place shows the fountains and then we get here and they aren’t working! I took that to be false advertising, so I called for a second time and asked if they could turn on the fountains and told them this was my second time to call. About an hour later they turned on the fountains. I felt like a baby who just threw down my toy and someone picked it up . . . you know? I made something happen. That, plus I cooked up everything in the condo. Ha! It’s been a fun day. Don is up to his ears in football and I’m headed to the Jacuzzi.

I thank God for a great year of healing and repairs. This year has been a financial disaster, but we have love and health and that’s what really matters.
