We were up at about 7:00 AM, tired from our adventure to see Bob play the drums. Irene was with us, and we invited her to Girl’s Night Out at the Elks. Sydney brought her dad, and we had a good old time. DJ Ronnie came by with flowers for the ladies.

Ronnie Visits And BRings The LAdies Flowers.
Sydney sat with Irene and got caught up on everything. Mary and Hal, Sydney’s father, had a wonderful conversation with a lot of laughing and giggling. Of course, Bob Z, George, and I continued the usual banter. We missed Bill Capps again today! Perhaps his parole hit a glitch?

Mary and Hal visit.
We had a fantastic steak at the Elks. It was $35 but tasted as good as the $80 ones at Patty’s Place!

All had great fun.
The Elks had a flyer for the rest of the month, and we grabbed a copy. We want our neighbors to hear the music and dance along with us. Vada and Jim are new Elks.

The January Dance Schedule!
We had to be home by 2:00 PM because Juan and his nephew were scheduled to come by and get the Christmas boxes put up in the attic. They were right on time. We carefully labeled BOTH SIDES of each box this year, so if they are turned around, no problem.

All boxes were carefully labeled, and up they went!
These boxes contain 80% of Christmas, the other 20% we added to this collection, and they went into the garage attic. We ensured Christmas went up first, followed by Thanksgiving and Halloween/Fall boxes, and that makes it much easier to remove next year.

This was about 1/2 of the total boxes going up today.
Juan had the boxes up and stashed in about an hour. He also moved some goodies to the HeShed so I would have more garage room.
We watched a movie, went to the Swin Spa, and then turned in for the night.
