Got a new to us sign the other day 😁
We have had many opportunities to celebrate with others already this year, we are now looking forward to Christmas Eve, when most of our family will come to our new place for a fun evening celebrating Christmas as a family again. It's been awhile since we've all got together at Christmas, we have been gone almost every Christmas for the last 10 years, only one time did we stay home, and that year it snowed enough that only Penny and our two grandchildren Jet and Dax came for Christmas to the place we were staying. This year we have our own place, so with little a help, and decent weather, we will enjoy Christmas Eve to the fullest this year. Food I'm sure be plentiful, and a gift 🎁 exchange is happening, but for me the best is just the time spent enjoying being with each other together. We all have great memories of past Christmas Eve's at Memeres, Pollys Mom's place, so to recreate this feeling with our families will be great. Not exactly same, but still be nice to get together again.
We all have different memories around this time of year, but being together, sharing this time, is special. For Polly and I, the best as our life changed this year from traveling and living full time in our fifth wheel trailer and going south for the winter, to living full time in our mobile home anchored in one spot in our home town. So much room to host a big group, along with close to most all our families and friends.
Plans are underway, Polly is the planner, along with Lyn, Georgina, and whomever else steps up to help. I'll help where needed, mostly packing stuff, move this move that, stock the outside fridge, pop, beer, wine. My two bits worth, and get a few presents 🎁 for family.
Sunday morning now, no big plans today, but I'm sure something will be coming up, always something. I bought, or got a Murphy bed last week, it's all apart, and I'm in the process of learning how to put it together. YouTube helps, a full set of plans and demonstration video's are available, I'm learning 😁. Maybe today I'll attempt to fit it together. Be nice to have a decent queen bed for company.
Well up too early again, back to bed again, my shift sleep, Polly just got up, and she's planning cooking something already. I laughed to myself, how lucky I am, I wonder what's going to be made now? I won't ask, I heard Polly talking about molasses, hmm sweet!
Retirement says every day is Sunday, but really Sunday still a quieter time.
Sure do love our life ❤️
