Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 133 Dear Grandsons It's getting up against year end and Christmas is in the past. It is good to get back to our normal routine. I at this age like a normal routine most of the time. Two of the daughters and their families came over for Christmas turkey dinner. One daughter's family was sick. It was best she stayed home. Then the next night we had our next-door neighbor and family over for snacks and beverages. It was nice but it is also nice to get back to normal. So now it year-end I will start thinking of bookkeeping, taxes and budget. Then there is the other inside activities of the small internet business. Then I hope there will be some ice fishing sometime in January. I do need to keep busy. I cannot sit and do nothing, or I get down. I just fixed my sister in laws stove via telephone. She is by here self and needs help. I got her to flip her stove circuit breaker off and then back on. I hope there is not a stove problem. She is in Kentucky so I can't just go over there. It sure is apparent to be now of the generation gaps with the granddaughters. They are 16-18. And I canot understand what they are talking about most of the time. But they don't understand our world either. I tell them what I am doing, and they get a blank look on their face. But they are very kind and thoughtful to their grandparents. The grandkids are so important to us. I will write again New Year's Day, which has always been a big event for me. Have a Blessed rest of the week |
