Well, it’s been a long time since I wrote in this blog and
my only excuse is that we’ve been having too much fun. After we recovered from the flooring project,
we got back into pickleball, more for Stuart than me. He is playing 3 or 4 times a week and I
started out at once a week. It’s such a
wonderful activity, good exercise and very social. Now that January is here, the courts are
busier and even though we have 14 courts, there are still people waiting.
I also started the tap dancing classes and so far, it’s
been fantastic. We have new dancers so I
am working with the instructor to help them learn last year’s routine and then
I’m part of the advanced class where we are learning a new and more complicated
routine. In this one, we have both a hat
and a cane to manage along with our feet—talk about challenging our
coordination. Our classes are scheduled
for once a week (2 hours) but we’ve been doing extra practices because it’s so
much fun.
We sure had a cold start to the year with temperatures
dropping to 0 C for quite a few nights in a row. The daytime highs were barely out of the
single digits at 8 to 11 degrees so it felt like a mild winter back home. We had to put the potted plants in the shed
and cover the orange tree every night as well as covering our water supply lines
and hoses to protect them from the frost.
The truck was frosty also a few mornings. Saturday night we had rain and then it was cloudy
all day yesterday, but the sun is shining today. The worst of the winter should be over.
Every week, we meet with a small group from our church to
talk about the Sunday sermon and everything else that’s going on in our
lives. It’s a great group and we are
getting to know each other very well.
It’s a blessing to have friends who will be there for you through the
good and bad times.
We’ve seen a couple of movies at the theater and on
Netflix. We highly recommend “Aquaman”
and “Bird Box” with Sandra Bullock. A very
different role for her.
