Well, here we are...five days into December and this is my first blog of the month! I do have a couple of excuses...we are down to one computer as the Dell with the tower went blue screen and died! And the laptop which I use, had a virus....we now have everything on this one cleaned up and am looking for a new one for Christmas so we will be back to two. Amazing how quickly we got used to having two around to use whenever!!
And we have had a couple of social engagements...it was our turn to host poker last week. Had a great time with our buds; I lost pathetically but fortunately I don't play to make money just to have a fun time which we always do...a bunch of ol' dudes like us just sitting around getting really silly and laughing our hinies off!!!
Then we also had a Christmas open house Saturday night...that would be last night. This is couple who really decorate their house...it is a true Winter Wonderland and we always enjoy going to see everyone and eat their delicious food. And speaking of decorating...I guess it is time to put my Thanksgiving things away and get out Christmas stuff....and perhaps do a little Christmas Shopping???!
Wednesday of this week, my darling granddaughter is going into Scottish Rite for her back surgery. She was diagnosed with scoliosis and worn a brace since she was seven years old. Now that she is 16 and considered "mature", they are having the surgery done to straighten her spine. She has a double curvature which was not going to go away without the surgery. She is such a strong spirit..I call her my little hero...and she is surrounded with so much love and encouragement from family and friends that I know she will get through it all with flying colors!!
Scottish Rite is a remarkable hospital...they are the experts in children with osteopathic concerns so we feel very fortunate to be living in one of the three areas where they are located in the United States. They are one of the most worthwhile non-profit organizations I know of.
Great minds...
