Seems everyday is a day like that for me. In the middle of doing something I do something else, and then forget where I was and what is next.

It takes longer for the file clerk in my brain to find the information I need. There are so many stuffed filing cabinets in my mind. Goes with the territory I suppose.

Remember Art Linkletter wrote a book titled,
“OLD AGE IS NOT FOR SISSIES”?

True. It begins earlier in some of us.

Another powerful message from Our Daily Bread, Rus. Those words spoke directly to me today as we face life’s tribulations.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for your family.

Thanks very much Teenie! Day is going well now. Was sick last night and had to go in to see my urologist this a.m. On antibiotics and it seems they are working. Hope you had a great Christmas!

Afternoon Amy.

It’s been a busy busy weekend. Yesterday we had a Great Family Gathering at our daughter’s house. Sisters were here along with numerous neices and nephews and their families. 50 relatives joined the celebration with lots and lots of food, white elephant gift exchange and great fellowship. Three of the boys decided to take a dip in the pool and hot tub. It was the first time since 1980 that we had one of these Big Family Gatherings and all that wonderful food.

Today the Christmas decorations are coming down to be stored til next year. Took the Christmas tree out to the curb and it left a trail of fir needles across the carpet to the front door.

Dr appt tomorrow and chemo on Thursday if my numbers are good on the blood tests.

LOL....my compartments are so full with no room to squeeze in a new one.

“OLD AGE IS NOT FOR SISSIES”

I remember all the chuckles that book brought...thinking I had plenty of time...hah! It was here before even I realized it! Time really does fly!

That favors me today, Amy....LOL! I was more tired today than I was yesterday, the day after Christmas. I haven’t done a whole lot today. I took 2 short naps and it felt good!

My niece and her hubby are coming up from Mississippi. My son is going to take her husband hunting for deer! So they have plans for that. They will be staying at my son’s house (thank goodness) but Deb will come see me. We plan to all go out to eat at least one night and maybe twice. So I have to neat up the house again tomorrow.

I still have my decorations up and plan to keep them up until the first! The reason I keep them up is because I love them so. After I work so hard to get that job done, I’m not anxious to tear it down. I turn everything on every evening and cut them off around 9:30!
