A lady I know made it. Glued together.

Christmas will be at home with the family, the MIL, one BIL and his wife and son. I’ll try to get to the mountains after, but no guarantee. New Year’s Eve, I’ll spend learning what recovery from rotator cuff surgery feels like.

heck of a way to spend New years .... hope it will be as painless as is possible

Wishing you the best PW!

Thanks for the good wishes. I’m sure it will be fine, but have to day it has me a little nervous and irritated at what it will keep me from doing while it heals.

My brothers and their wives, my children, mom, Cathy and I will all be together for the first time on the 26th for Christmas celebration. Everyone wants to be here with Cathy. It is her first Christmas as a member of this family. Cathy has to work so I plan to go hunting on Christmas day as well as New Year's day.

Staying home and will have family over Christmas Eve and then over at my son's place Christmas Day.
After that enjoy leftovers while watching bowl games!

Now 2020 is not looking to have a great beginning since early Jan. I have to report for Fed. Circuit Court Grand Jury Duty which if
selected I would be tied up for a year! Not that the duty is bad but getting there is a pain on the big city interstate at rush hour and finding
parking.
Then some BIG changes threatening in the State in 2020. That's all I can say about that.

I have a Christmas concert this evening. On Christmas Eve its Church and home. Then Christmas day its over to our friends for dinner,followed the next day by a two day trip to Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry. Finally there is a New Years Eve party at my house for the same friends, but everybody's in bed by 11:00 PM for sure. But I do have the next few days off just to relax.

looks like rain that is predicted to move in tomorrow night is going to force us to move our camper a day early to where it will be setup over Christmas .... doing so will allow us to tow it over a field without concerns of sinking in .... once hooked up to 50 am we will leave it there and come back home .... I have no doubt that we'll be over there a couple of times on Monday and then back for Christmas on Tuesday

[JEBar]

Christmas 2019 just moved into reality .... with heavy rain moving in this evening we are busily packing the camper to move it later this afternoon to where we will spend Christmas .... Gilligan set out on a 3 hr tour .... we are preparing for our annual 3 mile tow to one of our son's home .. .. it is up to 44 outside, 44 with an icy feel in the air .... once we get the camper unhooked, leveled, and on 50 amp current we will leave it and our truck there and travel back and forth in another vehicle

in the house, 5 excited grandkids down but most certainly not out .... makes it nice to be in our camper .. .. NORAD reports that Santa is on his way .... sure looking forward to seeing the happy faces in the morning .... Merry Christmas to All and to all good night ..

Ho Ho Ho!
Had a lovely night with my granddaughters. They are back at home now, awaiting Santa's arrival.
My youngest granddaughter of 4 years old melted my heart tonite. We were goofing around, and then, out of nowhere, straight faced, looked me in the eyes and lunged; throwing here arms around my neck, and said, " I love you Grandpa"
Will never forget that moment!
Let none of us forget, the reason for the season either. Blessings to all.

its hard to believe that another Christmas has come and gone ....do hope it was a good one for all of our folks .... now, on to New Years .... we ain't much when it comes to being party people .... no plans to go anywhere to celebrate the New Year, pretty much to see it in at home .... I'll most likely be up at midnight, that's pretty much the norm for me

[JEBar]

its a packing up and moving back home day .... no real hurry, we are camped 3 miles from home .. .. hopefully, reloading several hundred 44 Mags on tap for later today

Where the heck did 2019 go?...2020? Really???? When I was a kid 2020 would have been like the Jetson's to me.

Excellent question, RR! And a and perfect perspective on time.....the Jetsons.

Man, if a person takes the time to think about time, time is a never-ending topic. So much has been said and written about it. And much chit-chat always pops up when we are at the time of ending one year and starting a new year.

I like the author, journalist, and free-lance writer Kristin Wong, who also appears on a number of interesting news/interview programs. She is also a contributing writer to "Lifehacker.com | Do everything better." Here is an article she wrote about time in 2015, which you might find to be a good read ---- take the time to go through it and enjoy! https://lifehacker.com/why-time-feels-l ... 1745852093

Happy New Year.

You sound like us. We will stay home and watch it all on TV. I usually make my Oyster He Soup on New Years Eve. That's one of a very few menu items my Wife allows to cook in her kitchen. It's really more of a chowder and really good.

[RanchRoper]

My wife and I usually polish off a shrimp ring with some cheese and crackers on New Year's Eve. Then watch the Rose parade next morning.

Wasnt it just yesterday that everyone was running to the TV to catch the next episode of Captain Kirk and the Starship Enterprise. Beam me up Scotty.
