May the new year be equally kind and gentle.
I am busier than I want to be but that is not a high bar. It is very easy for me to say that as I get lazier it seems as the years add up.
Renie and I walk almost every morning but the last two I have decided, you see she is younger than me, that I am too old and cold to walk when it is in the 30's. It is extremely difficult to remain acclimated when it is 90 one day and 35 the next.
Now Butch would tell you that our biggest news is that we have bought a golf cart. The owner of the Park Model we bought had one but she said it was spoken for so we thought we would wait till fall to buy one. Well, her deal and commitment fell through so she asked us if we wanted to purchase it too and we said yes. Our new home is in the area they call the "North 40". It is the newer part of the park and further away from where all the activities take place. And if you forgot your pool cue or something as equally important it is much quicker to hop on a golf cart than to walk a half-mile home and back. A half-mile might be an exaggeration but not by much.
Darrel M. is a classmate of mine from kindergarten on. Darrel and his wife Linda wanted a break from the cold of Iowa so rented a place here for the month of January. They did bring the cold with them but it will be gone in a day or two. I am sure the month will fly by for them. After all, the entire Winter flies by for us!
My day includes a haircut and Butch will be going to Fast Eddies to watch his pool partner Paul K. play in the Golden Olympics singles.
Till next time! Still being kind and gentle.
