Had a wonderful day today-Daughter Kathy picked us up & we went to daughter Cheryl's for our family christmas-So good to see all the daughters, Cheryl Jan & Kathy and family together, except daughter Sandi-Also saw Michelle, Karl & Amy, plus some of the great grandchildren-So wonderful at this age to get together, eat and visit-Lots of stories told of the past & always something new we haven't heard before-
Evelyn came along, even though not feeling to good yet-She still has some pneumonia in her right lung & harder yet for her to breath-
Yesterday Ev's family from Binghamton were here, so we are slowly getting thru Christmas-Only two of her daughters to get together with yet sometime this week-Very tiring at this age, but fun to see them all-Jan took some nice pictures which are on her snapfish site & I just looked at them-

Hard to believe
It was 26 years ago yesterday, that I retired from the Post Office in 1982-Stayed til Christmas Eve, so I could get all the presents from my customers ( greed )-Always got a lot of goodies and gifts-
Now it is Christmas 2008 & I am still here ( amazing )-Did do many other jobs in the 26 years, but none I enjoyed more than the P.O.-I've now been retired within a few years of the years I worked-
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Busy day-Washing this a.m.-Grocery shopping-Helped Ev finish her Christmas wrappings-About 4 inches of snow-
Fixed salmon patties, coleslaw & steamed vegetables for dinner-Wanted to watch a Syracuse basketball game, but wasn't televised, so finished the night reading a book-Try to read a book a week, which helps my old mind-Tomorrow we head out early for Rochester Hospital & hope to be home before dark-
Put a Christmas card on all the 11 other apartments in the building today-Took a box of goodies down to the apartment office & the mailman is taken care of, so guess ready for Christmas & come what may-
JUST DON'T FORGET YOUR MAILPERSON AND PAPER BOY-

Haven't written on my blog in a while, so will atempt some words. Just finished dinner & know if I go read I will be asleep in a short time.
Got a lot of odd things done today. Went thru the filing cabinet and cleaned out some things there. Also went thru a box of old tax records & got rid of things in there. I only keep things as far as taxes for seven years, except for anything to do with sale of property. Was taught that when I took tax courses years ago & guess it still holds true.
Also cleaned out our Med records for the year, but can't put them away til after the end of the year. Ev especially has tons of papers in her record file and book. Then mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors, so am kinda wiped out.
Snow melting some today, but still kinda cold. Yesterday got my Christmas all done, which is so hard as you get older.
Was thinking of one Christmas years ago when I was 12. A small hotel & gas station in the village had burned & out in back was a small storage shed where they put things that were still okay. Several boxes were of Fire Works, which could be sold in stores back then. Down the street I had an older friend 15 & he talked me into using my sled to go get some of those fireworks, as lots of snow on the ground. He got them out the window of the shed & I dragged the sled down the back street to my Dad's old barn. Dumb him ( the 15 year old ) and poor little me we left the shed tracks all the way.
To make the story short the police found where they were & who took them. This fifteen year old kids father was a detective in Ithaca also. Anyway that was the end of my friendship with that guy.
Had to go before the town Judge & my sentence was to stay in after school for six months & to go to sunday school every sunday for one year. ( This was a good lesson learned & don't get led by your elders ) .
Okay enough for now-

Nuttin much
Have been kinda busy today-Did a couple loads of wash & dry-Went to Staples to get ink for my printer-Made some more Christmas cards-Made cookies tonight & allready ate three-
Had to get a new cell phone yesterday, as ours gave out-Only about six months since Jan & George gave it to us, so was a free new one-
Ev got in touch with her Vascular surgeon today-His nurse called later & they will do a cat scan on the 31st-Then she will see the surgeon the same day-More blockage in the neck area, where the by-pass hooks onto the main artery-He will then decide if safe to do anymore surgery-we will pray he can do something, as things are getting worse with her-
Got some Christmas stuff out & sorted-Will get rid of some stuff that we no longer use-Not too much into Christmas this year with all of Ev's problems-
Have a good night everybody-
