Christmas Parties and Fun



We had a Christmas Party at the Park last night and one at the bridge club today. I enjoyed them both very much. I ended up coming in 2nd overall at the bridge party besides having a ball.
The weather has been great. Mac and I are enjoying our new furniture here in Florida.
Tues. I went to see "Australia" with my girlfriends. My good friend Harry is coming Monday and Mac and I are going to the theater on Sun.
Tomorrow night Evan is playing at Joe Louis between periods of a hockey game in front of a crowd of people.
When I am not out playing I play scrabble with Beth on the computer.

Florida Home

Mac and I had a hard trip down from Michigan. We left the Sat. after Thanksgiving and the traffic on Sat was fine, but Sun. after Atlanta it was one traffic jam after another. We finally stopped overnight in Gainsville to get off of the road. I hate I-75 any time, but this was the worse. I heard from some neighbors down here that it was still bad on Monday. (The construction, the accidents, etc.)
Mac and I have been working all week on unpacking and getting new equipment for our house. We are being welcomed here with open arms and it feels real nice to be here. Mac's nephew, John Sparks, dropped in the first day we were here. He was coming by on his way back from Lake City. We had lunch together and Mac and John fixed the bathroom sink leak.

Today we went to the doctor to get our regular blood work done. We aren't sick at all, but we usually get a cholesterol, liver, and blood sugar test twice a year (maintenance). We both weighed 90.4 which was low for me. He weighs less than me usually.

The weather has been a little chilly and we have had the furnace on a few times. It is sooooo much better than Michigan though, anyway you look at it.
