Happy Holidays

A quick post here to say hello and Happy Holidays to all! I continue to progress slowly - much too slowly - but do see some signs of progress. I can actually walk around now without the boot as I see fit. It feels good to not have that clunky thing on, but does not take long for me to feel the effects of that lack of support around my ankle. This has been a VERY slow season for me, as I usually do not feel like doing much by the evening hours due to soreness. So no holiday parties to show pics of this year, and I had to postpone my Xmas Eve open house for yet another year :(



Caryl's mom has been in town since Thanksgiving to help her through the last stages of her chemo treatment. The final one was Wed. December 9 - YEAH !!!! Now at least she can start the healing process. They invited me over for a lovely Thanksgiving dinner, and plan to do the same for Christmas, for which I am grateful . Speaking of food, a friend from back in KC sent me an emergency shipment of Kansas City BBQ (thanks Rog!). Caryl, her mom, and I enjoyed the balmy winter weather here yesterday (temps in the 70s) and I prepared that. We then went out for a little drive last night to look at Christmas lights around the valley.

If you are traveling for the Christmas holiday, please be careful so as to return safely home - Merry Christmas !!
