Wait a Minute – That’s Me Your Talking About

I was invited for lunch today and while I was at the grocery store in Saissac this morning one village over I saw the new very small flower shop next door, I had been there previously, so I thought excellent I will buy some flowers for my host.

While I was in the shop waiting for the nice young lady to make up the bouquet, she is really creative, makes beautiful arrangements and sings while she works, there were two extended phone orders. Being nosey I inquired about large orders from a community of small villages in the dead of winter.
Oh yes she replied business is good in the winter, its the very cold weather, some old people just don’t make it.

You find your laughs where you can

Alas now too old to die young,

We Did It

Well we did it, my children, sons and daughter in-law and grandchildren were all together in a house in the Poconos mountains in Pennsylvania for one week over Christmas. Oh and I forgot there were also 4 dogs. It snowed the day after we arrived so all those that could and wanted to went skiing and it rained the day we left so driving was uncomplicated. One car north to Boston and two cars south to Maryland with me and Jessica on the train with John Michael for his first train ride at 3 years old. I am not sure it is something I would want to do again anytime soon.

For the New Year at midnight I was in bed sleeping as is recommended for every recovering Catholic of my age.

Best wishes for 2019, we made it.
