​EATON BEACH 

Good evening! Today’s fun was lunch with pals KimBob at Eaton Beach. 

It was a couple hours of catching up. They’d been on a cruise in September, us in November. We had a great afternoon! 

Tuesday, Belize had bloodwork, ultrasound and a chemotherapy appointment. I dropped her off at 9 o’clock. She’s quite happy in her stroller and according to staff, easy going about it all. 

Afterward, I went to Nancy’s for a visit and coffee. She’d already had a morning workout! Darn … I hadn’t even had a coffee yet  😂 

Nancy opened a couple Christmas presents that I hoped would be good for her upcoming trip to Pigeon Forge - a goodies snack pack gift basket and flannel nightgown. Nancy had made Buckeyes … chocolate covered crunchy peanut butter and confectioners sugar balls. Too delicious!!! 

Mark ran manly errands (Lowes) and picked up Belize at 5 o’clock  it was a long day for her! Great news though … her next appointment will be SIX weeks away. She’s doing very well. (It’s a year since diagnosis of TCC Bladder Cancer.) She’s eating well and maintaining her weight and activity level. We’re thrilled! 🐾❤️

Our friends Pat & Ken moved from our former neighborhood yesterday, officially. They’ve been renovating their new nest. We look forward to seeing it. There’s nothing fun about moving but satisfying to see the plan come together.

The K’s have been wineing and dining in South Florida this week. 

RanDawn both had colds this past week; there’s a virulent strain going around with a wicked cough. When we talked to Randy today, he sounded much much better.  

That’s it for now. We have a busy weekend coming up with events. ‘Tis the season … 🎅🏼

​good morning from foggy North Central Florida, where we have rain rolling in for the weekend. Mark and his friend Wayne are in the woods this morning. I’m not sure Mark should be out there as he had a sore throat last night. ‘Tis the season for colds! 

Last Wednesday was the kickoff to the December holiday parties with the Coast to Coast club. 

The party was great. The food was excellent, the decorating very pretty and the band awesome.  As you can see, everyone was up dancing.  

The next night was Yaya‘s at Nancy‘s!

It was a smaller group than some years, but lots of fun. Nancy cooked her famous Cincinnati Skyline chili with all the fixings!!! There were Christmas crackers with jokes inside, Christmas bauble necklaces for all and a gift exchange. Well done Nancy! Her place was decorated to the ‘nines’ !!!

Both Belize and Wyatt are doing well with daily walks and golf cart rides. We are keeping them as busy as possible.  Now with two misty rainy days upon us, I will have to dig out the toys with treats for a fun time.  

That’s it for now! Happy Holidays!!!
