The Family

Hello, Brian and Sarah’s families came closer to Christmas Day. All of us gathered with the exception of Stephen, Sarah’s husband. Sorry that he was not there, but great to be with the rest of the group. We attended Christmas Eve Service and had some pictures taken afterwards.

We also spent some time with my niece, Pam and her children as well as Andy’s parents.

Miriam, her friend Susan, Leroy, and I walked in the mall several mornings before the sun was up. Those two younger, faster walkers would make it around the circuit three times while Leroy and I were grateful to get around twice. Actually, we had a little time to stretch before they showed up. They do not walk outside in the dark and cold. It was dark, but not sure I agree about the cold. The sidewalks are not even, so falling is a concern especially at the speed these to women move. We had in Iowa, nine degrees which does not compare to their 20 plus temperatures. Leroy and I also took some neighborhood walks, including to the library. Their dogs loved the walking, but one of us had to stay outside with them if we went to the library. Paula
