Hang on, Paul!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We woke up to a mighty windstorm, which was whipping all the backyard foliage around with a vengeance.\u00a0 \u00a0Our umbrella ended up in the pool again!\u00a0 The wind is supposed to die down in the afternoon.\u00a0 As a famous philosopher once said, “We’ll see!”<\/p>\n

We worked in the office, a never-ending activity.\u00a0 Dianne popped over mid-afternoon to return my credit card from last night.\u00a0 \u00a0The front yard security camera showed me when Dianne arrived, so I went outside to greet her, and there it was, looking at me.\u00a0 It was a large and very dead Christmas tree that the wind had whisked down the street and into our front yard.<\/p>\n

We visited for a while before getting ready for tonight’s visit to the Elks.<\/p>\n

By 5:00 pm, we were ready to go.\u00a0 We sat with Bill and Sandee Capps and family this evening, which means we will have a lot of fun!!\u00a0 Bill’s grandson and fianc\u00e9e joined us along with her mother and a friend.<\/p>\n

We never slow down!!<\/p><\/div>\n

The music was terrific, and the dance floor was busy all night long.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Mary and I were up dancing many times, tripping<\/span> the<\/span> light<\/span> fantastic<\/span>, and I was able to finish the dances without the need to sit; I am healed!\u00a0 I felt good not having to run for the oxygen bottle after a dance.<\/p>\n

This year will be a good year!<\/p>\n
