We have entered
into a new year and we are clipping right along into January. Our New Year’s Eve started with a cocktail party
at our condo with a few friends followed by the dance at the clubhouse. Live music
kept us all dancing and partying as we rang in the New Year with cheers and
laughter. Champagne flowed at midnight, Auld Lang Syne played in the background
and hugs and kisses were exchanged. The New Year is one of promise and hope
that each one of us wished for one another.
Sunning and
swimming at the pool filled New Year’s Day followed by a potluck with a few
friends outside on the deck of the clubhouse. It was an evening of much
laughter as various stories of our youth and early years of parenthood emerged.
Most of the
snowbirds have returned and life here is getting busy with activities and
events. Roger has been golfing and out with his painting group, playing bocce
and getting some exercise in the pool. For me, book club starts today and jewelry
making Tuesdays , Thursdays I am bowling as a spare as I did not want to commit
every week, but they were insistent that I at least spare so I caved and signed
up. Most days are spent at the pool starting with aquascises first thing in the
morning, new lap swim and then after a quick bite to eat I lounge pool side
with some recreational water time. A walk
in the evening after supper has become routine and a good way to wear off
supper.
The weather
has been very warm this year, 25- 28C most days, with very little rain.
Yesterday was an odd cool one at 17 C . and windy but a couple of cooler days
we can handle. We were off to a movie
with friends to see Lion, which was excellent. We did a bit of shopping and
ended with a supper out for a wonderful meal of fish. A good day all around.
We hear the
weather is brutal up north and we are feeling very lucky to be here in
Florida. Stay warm and safe. Happy New Year.
