Welcome back. I missed your posts and hearing about your traditions for Christmas. I hope you had a great Christmas and you and hubby had fun in the food preparations. We had a gentle rain all morning and into late afternoon. It will just barely touch the drought areas. As hubby put it, thank goodness it wasn’t snow. I do recall a two week period of real cold temps for Florida. That was the year that I had no warm clothing with us. Afterall, Florida is supposedly warm all year round. I think on Black Friday while we were shivering, we went shopping for warm coats and sweatshirts. Bealls Outlet and Walmart come to mind. Actually, we had tried all the retail stores in the area and no one had anything we could wear in the cold. Thank goodness for the two stores I just mentioned. From that time on we always include a few sweatshirts and a jacket as well.

I hope you are beginning to feel like your ole self once again. Just do not overdo anything.

I was with hubby from late morning and just arrived home feeling tired but in a good way. Hubby was dressed and happy that the Rehab had reached out to family and friends on this glorious occasion.The two of us had a table all to ourselves. The decorations were minimal. The piano no where to be seen and I felt that music would have brought everyone together and would have been a great highlight for dinner. There were smiles everywhere. However, I was disappointed in the food choice. They served two thin slices of pork with rice and broccoli. No cheese and crackers. No soup on a rainy day. And no dessert. The drink of the day was pineapple juice. However, the best part of the meal was being with hubby. Dinner later was cold macaroni and cold beans (uncooked). I immediately left the Rehab and went directly to our favorite Asian takeout. It was a good decision. Traffic was non existent and the lights were in my favor all day. I finally managed to clean the drawers on hubby’s side of the dresser. Yes, I brought Clean Boss and hubby loved the scent. Fell asleep in the chair and just arrived home a few minutes ago.

Merry Christmas Sheba 🎅 🎄
I hope you and your family had a wonderful day.
Your home must be lovely this time of year with the fireplaces and holiday season decorations. I am glad your son is there to be with you and your hubby for Christmas.
We are doing good and hope the new year brings us all better times.
Take care Sheba 🌹

Sheba, Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and a wonderful day today!
I was very happy with the restaurant pick this year for Christmas Eve.
Finally! It was a well controlled full restaurant, with lots of staff and good food.
Been back to hiking, just from a different entry point. It’s a busier entry point with dog walkers, casual bikers and runners. It’s going to work out fine as I have a revised loop and it’s still partially the same. Hopefully I wont run into the critters on the busier side.
Hope Oodie’s Husband got to play the piano.

Last Christmas
Song by Wham!

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”, I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now, I know you’d fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh now I’ve found a real love
You’ll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special, special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone
I’ll give it to someone special
