So this is Christmas
It was a relaxing Christmas. I woke at 6:30 to a country breakfast bake prepared by Christy and Penny – well actually we opened presents first after simulating placing baby Jesus in the manger. We lit the fireplace and had a warm cozy breakfast.
It was a blustery cloudy cool morning but we still did our Christmas Day beach walk. Christy, Finn and I went to Destin Pass and walked out to the jetties and along the beach. Once again there weren’t many other crazy people out walking the beach. We had consistent 20+ mph winds and the surf was 5-7 feet and rising. Finn didn’t care and wore himself out running after sea birds and any reflection of sunlight he saw. We were surprised when the clouds broke and we had bright sun for part of the walk. The clouds returned later and remained for the rest of the day.

It was already noon when we got back home. Penny had the ham in the oven and she and Christy went on preparing the rest of our meal. I played around with the 70 or so pictures Christy took of Finn on the beach. I got a call from brother, Lou and called Sister Kathy. For our Christmas meal we had ham, sweet potato muggin, mac & cheese, broccoli, apple salad and biscuits.
The afternoon was clean up and football on TV. My fantasy football team lost today so I cannot win the league this year.
For dinner it was cherry pie a-la-mode. Then it was more football – blogging and digesting.
I enjoyed answering the phone with “Merry Christmas” That is suggestion #287 in “The Little Book of Christmas Joys”.
Tomorrow it’s back to Physical Therapy. I have one more session on Thursday and that’s it. I go see the doc next week and see what we need to do for my right arm. It is still giving me problems.
Now we have the last week of 2006. It’s time for resolutions and reminiscing. I’m behind on my training for the River Run in March so I have one resolution to make. It is hard to fathom that I’ve been retired now for 1 ¼ years. It still hasn’t sunk in. I think the fact that I have had health issues for the whole period has played a big role in this. There were a lot of tasks around the house and yard that I thought I would have finished in the first year but are barely done. So here’s to having a healthy new year and finally accomplishing those tasks.
