I'm ready for Christmas Day. Hopefully Christina gets a release from the Dr. so she can come for ther Holidays and meet family that she's never met. There should be about 13 family and friends here.I think it will be a real feast and a fun time..
Bill's half brother Jim and his family came and spent Sunday with me.They live in Apopka. Gale has had breast cancer and opted for a double mastectomy.She's had her chemo and radiation and looks and feels good. She's gone back to work teaching Cosmatology. Dee had her 3 children with her. Marissa is 10, Emanuel (Manny) is 6 and baby Xavier is 10 months. Their Daddy is Puerto Rican but they all have blue eyes.Xavier is a beautiful child.He doesn't hesitate to come into your arms.I was so glad I purchased a Shark steam floor sanitizer and had used it before they came. That baby was all over the floor and didn't pick up dirt, germs etc. as he might have.
Now the important stuff. Ron's blog tells what a terrible time he is having with his knee. He went to see the Dr. yesterday and then saw a medical Dr.who determined that he has a heart arrthymia. He admitted him to Palatka hospt. last night.Apparently his urine is very darkish red also.. Anyways, as soon as I finish this I'm going to get ready and head for Palatka. I'll stay overnight and then pick up Christina tomorrow.
I'm glad everything is under control here and I'm free to go check on Big Brother.He needs to get better so we can continue our Christmas plans.

It's a waiting game and the piggies came back
I just read my brother's blog and it made me think of one thing. If you want to make God laugh just tell him your plans.I'm sorry he (Ron)is having such trouble with his knee. It makes me hurt to think about it. Perhaps he needs to rest for awhile. After all he will be 70 on Monday. It's too bad about all their plans to go to theme parks but as long as they are okay it's okay.
Christina is supposed to come down for the Holidays but now we're playing the waiting game.She saw Dr. Arnel, the lung specialist. He has ordered a CATT scan on Friday. He will decide next Tuesday whether she can make the trip on Wed. I don't want anything to happen to her as much as I would like her to come to Fl.. I don't want her to be sick while here.
The pigs appear to have returned again. Two nights ago there was more digging up of areas that had just been raked etc. Perhaps it's a losing battle.
Janice and I went shopping today. We went to stores like Big lots, Tuesday morning, etc. etc. and are both about done. People are all courteous which isn't always the case at this Holiday time.
Jim and Gale, Dee and her children are coming over on Sunday. They said they might stay over and go back home on Mon. I didn't tell them I had a Christmas dance Sunday night.Of course I won't go to it if they stay. Its predicted to be 59 on Sunday so going to the beach doesn't seem attractive.
We had a good time visiting with Greg at Ruby Tuesday's in Daytona. Everyone agreed that it was fun.Don, janice, Ron, Laura, Greg, and myself were there.It was a quick business trip for Greg. He flew in on Sunday pm and flew out on Mon. pm

Sunday
Anticipation is sometimes better than the actual experience. I was so looking forward to the Adventsingen at St. Brendan's church on Sunday. I think it was a wonderful program but they kept the air on and it was already cold outside. Now it takes a lot for Don to get cold but he was miserably cold. We left early as we just couldn't stand it.I'm glad Tom and Helga didn't come down for it. They also would have been dissapointed.
Thank you Heidi for the picture of the snake. I'm just going to remember back on red is ok. I have learned the poem but couldn't recall it when needed. I should not have taken my eyes off it and should have looked at the stripes.
We're going back to the Outback Tuesday night to celebrate Janice's Birthday.(63)and brother Ron will be 70 on the 21st."Darling we are getting older."
I think most of my Christmas decorations are up.As a result of Mr. snake I'm cleaning out the garage and trying to get rid of "stuff" and places he could hide.I think he left however and I don't have to worry but no sense taking any chances.

I forgot
I forgot to mention that Don, Janice and I helped Annette with some more moving on Thursday. She had some of the girl's teenage friends and there were two strong men and she was moved into the new house by 2am.We only stayed until 7:30pm. I wish them well in their new home and neighborhood.
My Bubbles is very happy in his new home. I found a great big bowl for him and he really enjoys swimming, diving etc. He comes to the edge if anyone is there. I am really enjoying him.He doesn't know about the other 2. Or was it 3?
The pigs seem to have moved on to greener pastures. They are messing up lawns down the street.I'm going to try to smooth some of the lawn out in the next few days.We'll see what happens.
I keep watching for a new blog from Liza. I think she is a very busy girl especially now at Christmas time.Heidi's pictures are wonderful from Whistler.Kat is growing up fast.
My friend Warner Johnson made a DVD of the last night of roller skating at Evans skateland on November 30th. I watched it this morning. It was sad.There's the old saying "one door closes and another opens".

it's cold
The weather has changed. Today is Saturday and it's rainy and cold.I was going to go to watch Santa parachute in on the beach at Flagler and then the parade but it's too cold so I'm going to stay in and stay warm. I don't know if it got cancelled or if they all got wet.The Gators play at 4pm so I might just settle in and watch them.I'm supposed to go to a country dance at the Moose tonight but not sure if I want to.
I thought my back yard was ruined from the piggies but some of it has gone back into place. It is just sand under the grass.
I plan to have Christmas dinner here for any that want to come.Christina wanted to come here for Christmas vacation so I finally found a flight that will be good for her and for me. I didn't want to have to drive in Orlando. Heather from the travel agency found one today for me. Christina will fly from Buffalo at 8:30 am December 23and arrive in Jacksonville at 1:12 pm.She changes planes in Charlotte.She returns on January 1st leaving Jacksonville at 1:30pm.and gets back to Buffalo about 5:30pm. I look forward to her coming. I'll have someone in this house with me.I hope we can stop in St. Augustine on the way back from the airport.One of the ladies at the dances makes cakes and fudge for several of the stores in St. Augustine. Christmas Eve I hope to go to the candlelight service at the Palm Coast Methodist Church.
Sunday is the Adventsingen at St. Brendan's church at 3:30 pm.It is based on Father Joseph Mohr and Silent Night. Don and Janice are going with me. After we will eat at Alfies. It is Greg and Dina's sons birthday and if you take him a Birthday card you get 15% off your meal.They are so good to their customers.
Last Tuesday was very nice at the Outback. Ron wrote about it in his blog. Since I'm alone I order an extra meal and take it home.The steak and stuffed shrimp tasted good the next day.
