I took Brian to the airport in Scottsbluff early Wednesday morning (we arose at 3:00 am) so he could make his maiden voyage to CTCA. Yesterday I picked him back up, red faced and ready to get home. The side effects of his therapy were starting to take hold. Paqui met him at the gate and greeted him with open arms, then sent us both on our way. Our dog Rico, who was waiting in the truck licked his face repeatedly in ecstasy. Quickly, Brian received concerned calls from our other daughter Jessamyn, brother James, and sister Melanie. What great family and friends we have. We made it home safely even with the wind gusting a brisk 25-40 miles per hour. I had to drive with both hands on the wheel, imagine!
It looks like Christmas has come to my house. Last year I didn't get all the decorations out. But this year, I have made up for it and like some Christmas crazed elf I have decorated every nook and cranny. It took me several days to get the scheme right, but it is a done deal now. We have a beautiful Frasier fur tree and many nick knacks that fill our vision. I also feel proud that I got my Christmas shopping done ahead of time and packages sent on their way. Retirement has its benefits!
Next week we are going to grandson Taylen's Christmas program and will stay the night with him. Brian will still be in his recovery mode, so I hope he enjoys it. I will be having Christmas evening dinner at my house. The girls and their respective family's are coming and staying the night. This week's projects will be baking some goodies for the occasion and writing Christmas cards. I am not much on baking, but once a year I try and fake my way through Christmas. That's all for now and have a great week!
