Dad 286: Happy New Year!

(And the honor of writing the last post of 2015 goes to my father. Enjoy! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Well we did see a little sun today on the last day of 2015.

 

Spouse's cataract operations are now complete and all appointments for checkups have been completed. Her eyes are now as perfect as possible.

 

Today we had the first visit from the occupational therapist. Spouse has lots of work to do. Her physical therapist is scheduled for next week. We are on the move forward again.... We hope!

 

Enjoying the visit by Kim and Joe and all of the visits by Deb, Glen, Josh, and Zack.

 

Not much to say except....

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Until next time!

Derf!

Lew's Great Day

Today was Lew's last day of working full-time.

 

Debbie made a retirement banner.

 

My father bought a cake.

 

Kim and Debbie made hamburgers and french fries for dinner. Yummy!

 

It didn't take Lew long to get into "retirement mode" this evening. The kitties are happy he's going to be hanging around more. :)

Favorite Gifts

Eli and Adam (ages 4 and 2, respectively) took their own money and purchased Christmas gifts at the dollar store.

The gifts they selected for me are precious!  I am wearing them in this picture:

I love the colors in the boa. The blue beaded necklaces have plastic shot glasses hanging on them, so I am all ready for my New Year's Eve Moxie toast!

Best Christmas gifts ever. Love....

Books to Go: NONE!

I did it!

I completed my 2015 Reading Challenge.

I finished reading Gone With the Wind around 9:00pm last night.

I'm glad I did this challenge, because I read some books that I may not have otherwise pursued. Example: War and Peace.

I have seen other reading challenges for 2016, but I will not be doing one. Year 2016 is the year of reading what I want to, when I want to.

And, yes, I have already started reading another book.  :)

Christmas Dinner

Kim and Joe flew in today, so Debbie had her Christmas dinner a day late so they could join us. It was worth the wait!

Merry Christmas!

Joy to the World, the Lord is Come!

Wishing everybody a very Merry Christmas.

Dad 285: Merry Christmas!

Derf Here!  Another warm, foggy day here in the Northeast. No snow yet for us in southeastern Maine. The experts tell us we'll get some Tuesday. I hope not!

Spouse spent the last three days in the hospital. We did bring her home today, but for a while we were not sure if we would get her home in time for Christmas. She made it! (More details next week.)

Enjoy the day that we celebrate as the birthday of our Savior. Peace be with you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!
