New Years Eve

Today is New Years Eve and Mary Ann I are looking forward to a quiet evening at home…We have been very busy during the last few years with the entertainers that come in for the New Years celebrations…We got a reprieve this year in that a disc jockey is being hired for this years dance…This left us free to do what we wanted and I guess we are really getting old…We just wanted to relax and watch the excitement on TV…I will need to go and make sure we have plenty of black eyed peas…As you know, I am a southern boy…I guess you could call me a boy, I am masculine in gender…Although, when I think of my age, my body tells me I am what I am…I hope I never grow old mentally…I had some sad news yesterday…An old girl friend (first love) husband pass away…I always feel that my words are not adequate to express my sorrow when such things occur…I will talk to you later…Eat a lot of black eyed peas…Philip 

A Beautiful Time Of The Year

Christmas is over and a new year is Saturday…Mary Ann gave me something I have been wanting for several years…Levels 1,2, and 3 of Rosetta Stone  Language Learning for the Latin America version…Some of you have been chastising me for not writing a Christmas Letter…I didn’t realize that some of you do not have a computer to follow our blog…I will try to do better next year…We looked over our schedule and this week, nothing is scheduled…All the well wishes were received with thanks and wish I could see each one of you personally…It is hard to move on when you love those that mean so much, without some communication…Life is full of choices and we live with those choices…Realizing how short life really is there is not time to choose unhappiness…Rehearsal for the variety show begins in two weeks and I haven’t started learning my lines…I will start taking pictures when we start rehearsal…Mary Ann has her gun out making me do honey doos…Thanking of everyone and what you have meant to me…Have a glorious New Year…Talk to you later…Philip  

Playing Santa

I purchased a new Santa suit several years ago…Playing Santa is very enjoyable, but time consuming…Trying to carve and mail some things to those that care about my carving is truly a joy…We just finished the Christmas program and you know who was Santa…I had an appointment for the singles club with their annual Christmas party playing Santa…I will have one more scheduled for tomorrow night and that will probably be it until next year…Yesterday, I had my annual physical and all my numbers were well in range…I feel that I might live to aggravate Mary Ann for another year…I feel great so life is good…I have to make some dvd’s for the Christmas show and start rehearsing for the Variety Show in February…I believe I will start having time for some serious carving next week…I want to carve a Road Runner for display in the activities building…I hope your package arrives safe and sound…The weather is beautiful with cloudless sky's and the temp in the low 70’s…Talk to you later…Philip 

Tonight Is The Annual Golf Cart Parade

What another busy week!…Wednesday evening we had the Earth Angles from Los Angeles…They really put on a wonderful show…I really enjoy working with a professional group of this quality…They know how to use microphones, which makes my job easier…Mary Ann did an excellent job on the lighting, which enhanced the beautiful costumes…Thursday was the town meeting and Friday was getting the Christmas decorations down from the attic…So, now we have to get the music together for the parade tonight…I will talk to you later…Philip
