IT HAS BEEN A BUSY TIME



It has been a while since my last entry. I have too much time on my hands. It goes to prove tht if you want something done, ask a busy man. Since I am not working this year, I should be able to do all the things I said I wanted to do, going to Tampa Bay Downs and some Lightning games. But between Doctors and my limping around,I am accomplishing nothing.
We had a very nice Christmas. On Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner here with Dan, Dawn, Kevin, Sean, Matt and Bonnie. Chris and Denise (Matts friends) were also here.
We decorated the tree but we forgot to sing our Carols. On Christmas Day we had a very nice dinner at Dan and Dawns.
Then we celebrated Mom's birthday. She finally turned 21 plus and she doesn't look a day older. We all went out and had a very nice dinner. I wanted to go to Flanigans but since it was a week night, I was voted down.
Then we all were following the trip to China. Bren and Jana adopted their third child, Suzy. Bren, Mary, Christie, Matt and Bonnie were off on a 17 day trip. Their first stop was Beijing were they saw all of the ancient sights of China. Beijing turn out to be very cold with a blizzard on the last day they were there. After a 19 hour delay at the airport, they were finally able to leave on a train to where they picked up Suzy. They are finally home and happy to be here. They are almost recovered from the trip.
Florida has had some unusually cold weather but nothing compared to the weather up north. Mom and I have both turned into Southern Crackers. We wouldn't be able to take the weather up north
