A new year....

A new you ??   Well, that ain't happening around here anytime soon....same old me, same old him and we are really good with that.      I've read a few blogs where the author is breathing a sigh of relief that 2013 is behind them as it was a crummy year.....  not so much at this house.    It was a very good year and each one we pass thru is a blessing.    We look forward to new and exciting happenings.    Change is good, if the change is good and for us, as we explore this time of aging, we look forward to good changes once again.  

The year started as it has for 71 years with a birthday happening on January 1st.    I have trouble remembering birthdays and have to resort to a cheat sheet. But friends  far and wide remember his and the phone rang and the emails were many.   The weather was gloomy and rainy but the Birthday Fairy made her way to the house and dropped off some mighty fine gifts.

The GoPro won't go on the helmet to record a ski run or a surfing event but might just capture the thrill of jeeping in the Colorado mountains.     Or maybe he'll take up diving and find the colorful fishes.  

 Also, a Dell Venue tablet arrived....since he's a Windows fan, this will coordinate nicely with his computer and he can playback the GoPro videos.

Now and then, I'll post a few pics taken by the professionals at the wedding.    This was right before Jon escorted us down the aisle.    

 Today is more fog this morning and heavy rain later but we are welcoming a couple from Colorado who are wandering the south in their motorhome.    Paul met her playing Pickleball in Parker, Co and we will show them  the uniqueness of The Villages and hopefully, the rain will hold off until after a game or two.
