The year started out with a little work on the house; had all the trim wrapped and supposedly we will never have to have painting done again.
Then we got into February and March. Cabin fever set in and we took a couple days to go to Myrtle Beach. Nice trip and it got us through the rest of the nasty weather here.
Then it was time for regular check-ups and re-checks with our various doctors. All was well until I had my mammogram and was told they found something. I had something called PASH. That ended up with me having surgery for removal of the small mass of irregular blood cells. Biopsy was good, nothing malignant. But that was followed up eleven days later with a massive hematoma that required further surgery. Still don't know what caused all that, but I am okay.
Les had the "guys' golf trip" in early May. He always enjoys that and I think uses it as practice for the Retirees Tournament. I use it for "me time" and projects I want to do. 😊
A couple weeks later it was time for us to go to Myrtle Beach for the Tournament and we had a very nice time with our friends, and with the guys playing golf.
And then we were into June! Jacquie and Pam gave us a party for our 50th Wedding Anniversary! It was beautiful and we had a very nice time. I had said if we had anything I didn't want fancy. So it was at Jacquie's home in their large back yard, complete with a bounce house and water slide for the grandchildren. Family and friends, can't ask for more!
Shortly after our party, Les and I left on our Western Road Trip. We had been planning this for a few years. The trip was wonderful! Twenty-four days and 7,643 miles of seeing our great and beautiful country. We went to many places that were new to us and also revisited some of our favorites. I love our road trips!
The rest of the Summer was spent taking care of the house and yard, and just enjoying life. And of course, golf for Les.
In September we went to Ohio to visit family and to attend my 50th High School reunion. Because of the life we have lived, and moving around, we have not stayed in touch with classmates. Les has with a few from his class, but I had not. But, we went, and it was very nice! And if there is another reunion, we will definitely go.
It was our year to go to Pam's for Thanksgiving, so we had a trip to Georgia and it was wonderful to see all of them. She prepared a lovely meal and we had a nice time just visiting with them all.
And that brings us to December. When we got home from Georgia, the activity started with decorating, baking, getting cards out, and finishing the shopping and wrapping, and just general catching up. Les and I had a quiet Christmas. Jacquie, Chris, and the girls went to Chris' Mom's for Christmas, so we had an early Christmas with them before they left.
And now a new year is beginning. We've decided no big trip this year. Les will still have the guys' golf trip and we will go to Myrtle Beach for two golf tournaments, but that will be it for travel this coming year. We plan to do some work in our kitchen. We're checking out contractors now. We want new cabinets, probably a new counter top, and a new dishwasher. And all that work will more than likely require some touch-up painting. You know how it is - one thing leads to another. 😊
Time moves on, things change, we adjust. But, life goes on, and life is good! Stay safe! God Bless America! And Happy New Year!
