Happy Anniversary Matt and Becky!!!


Happy 22 years!!!!

I was  up showered and devo  It sprinkled as Denny fixed breakfast.  We took Nancy to the podiatrist. The Dr said her leg was infected close to the bone, if the bone becomes infected she could lose her leg.. She has choices, the boot is hard to put on/ wear, the boot will help infection stop. It would be hard to lose her leg.  Back at the park there was a jam session at Gene and Carla's.  Then we picked up Kathy. And went to the Brownsville Historical Museum from 5-7. Nice night.

I leisurely got up and visited with Nancy before heading to Black Friday Deals then to SPI.I stopped and looked at a couple shops then made my way to Port Isabel to meet the fishermen for lunch (Plus wives that didn't go). From there I went to the beach for a nap, I sent a Merry Christmas from the beach to my Thursday Study.  After the beach I went to a couple of thrift stores and a couple of expensive stores.  I love to look around.  At home we were out on the deck until the mosquitos got to us.  Denny and I joined Sheri, Glen, John, Donna, Marty, Kathy, Gary, Mary, Dave, Joanna,Kit.

Parade

 I played PB this am.  AND it is not hurting tonight as I write this blog.  That's a good thing.  A very good thing.  Now if only I can play longer and not hurt.  I stopped at Gloria's and we decided to decorate her cart and ride in the parade.  Denny and I went to the UPS to return a charger that didn't work for the battery we had.  We got groceries and went to 3 stores to get diet Pepsi for Nancy.  I weeded the stump in the back and the front fisherman area.  The parade went well.  The gift exchange went well.  I took home the same gift I brought.  My favorite chocolates Lindor.  Yes!!!  At 5 we went to Erbs for supper.  It was so fun and great food.  At home we watched tv and to bed.  

                                           


SPI

Great Day!!  We went to the island for church at Chapel of the Sea.  Very nice.  We left about 9:15 and got to church at 9;45.   It started at 9:30.  Great music, walls on either side are mostly glass walk out double doors.  It ice so great to look out to see the lush green plants and bushes outside.  AND the church lasts less than an hour.  We got a replacement for our Isla Blanca park pass.  it was a great time at the beach.  We did nothing.  We are getting quite good at doing nothing.  I listened to the book by Wendell Barry ... Hannah Coulter.  It was an amazing day  I loved the beach, lying in the sun, warm and napping in the sun,  I loved the light, the view, the music at church.  After we got back to the park, we went to a Christmas get together at Dave and Tom's.  SO much amazing food and fun to talk to the people.   At home Everwood on TV.  Last night I browsed thru my blog and copied some cute posts.  I shared with same name Faith and Luke and Karen.
