Good Morning, Another cold morning 8.8 degrees don't think there is much wind. Hard to believe it is almost Christmas.Where does the time go? Sometimes I feel like we just let our daily lives past us by without ever thinking about what we are doing? We have had a great week so far, Sunday we went visiting to Lance's Aunt and Uncle Kip and Gene. Gene being Lance's Mom Sister. We had the most wonderful time, lunch was wonderful, Salmon. Dessert Strawberry Shortcake. Snow falling and blowing strong but when we got away from the coast a bit, no snow just icy here and there. We wanted to stop and see my Sister and husband,but it was a blizzard and they have been having furnace problems, so we tossed kisses and waved as we went by. Everyone was in bed when we got home and we were not to far behind them. Monday Lance didn't feel well so we kept things low key gave him some of our homemade ginger ale and he felt better soon after. Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment that I couldn't get out of fast enough,another one on New Year's Eve day, just before we start heading home. Christmas Eve Lance and I are spending alone WAHOO! Have a special dinner planned, while the rest of the family goes out for dinner and midnight Mass. Christmas Dinner is here with all the families. Should be a fun interesting day.

The van is getting closer to being done for our journey home,anxious to settle down and in a bit.Things are expensive especially gas and food. Roscoe is doing much better, his Lyme Disease was a big scare for us, but after a month of broad spectrum antibiotics he seems back to himself. His hind quarters are getting weaker but does not seem to be in pain, which we are grateful for. Think that is it. Bye for now. Peace On Earth, Lance Carlene and Roscoe
