December 14-15, 2013 - AZ

Sunday, December 15.  I slept in yesterday morning until 8:15 - boy, did that feel good.  I also got to FaceTime with the twins for a few minutes and managed to get big smiles from both of them.m It didn't take me long to get back involved in the community and see several of my friends, starting with a stop at the clubhouse yesterday morning to pay  my annual community association dues and also to vote for area representative (the person who is responsible for welcoming newcomers and keeping folks informed).

I'm scrambling to finish up on the gifts to send to WI and CA (no room in my bags when I went there) and I'm working on a hat and mittens for Charlotte (a project that got started out there but was unable to finish).  I will have to post a photo when I get it done.

Today was nice and included some relaxation in my yard and chats with a couple of neighbors.  Right now, there is an apple dessert in the oven and a pot of chili on the stove.  The chili got me thinking of Mike and missing him - one of his all time favorites - I would have scored big time with him.
