Happy New Year!
With 2019 just around the corner, I thought I'd do a quick update.
We went on the most amazing cruise in October, with our friends, Jim and Allena. We ate to much, drank to much and spent a lot of time laughing real hard! Just about 2 weeks of total bliss. If only life could be this way all the time! Royal Caribbean, Adventure of the Seas. Wonderful.
We are still in Titusville, Florida. All of us have been going through various stages of health issues and hospitalizations. I am back to work, but only on a part time basis. It is taking longer than I anticipated for my fractured leg to return to normal. Everyday, slowly, my leg is improving. We are lucky to be in a RV community with many amenities available to us. We had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, provided by our community Blue Heron restaurant. The food was wonderful, and everyone was sent home with another complete meal to have another night!
Oh, did you guys know that batteries can explode?
We have new motorhome batteries now. Big shout out to Eagles Pride RV Sales and Service in our community for coming over and working the day before Thanksgiving to repair this "explosive"situation.
We have had so many friends and family come and visit us. Being close to Orlando international airport is a huge benefit, the airport is only 30 minutes away from us. Major Orlando attractions all within 30 to 45 minutes. Also, stunning national shorelines are only 30 minutes away from us. Oh, forgot to mention, the cruise port is only 30 minutes away also!
Of course, we couldn't make it through the year without another cruise.
We cruised on the MSC Divina this December with my mother and her husband. MSC was a new experience for us. For us, the price was downright amazing, but I would still have to think twice about going on the line again. I feel that if you love to dance and party, all night long, and don't mind long lines, it could be a good line for you.
We didn't return home until December 20th. I just didn't have the oomph to put up all the Christmas decorations. So I bought some lovely flowers for the table. After leaving for work at 6am, and returning at 8pm on the 21st, I came home to a Christmas Miracle! The kitchen cabinets were in, and the microwave and stove were all hooked up! Thank you Mike Moulton, our contractor.
Christmas came, and went, Ian's kidney stone came, and went. I put out the Christmas laser house lights, outside, on the 26th.... The one tree it lights up, is lovely. I haven't sent any cards.
It is now the 29th, and I have a bathroom sink. I know that may sound silly, but it is nice to brush my teeth, at a sink, adjacent to my bedroom. Up next year, a shower, and floors! oooooooohhhhhh.
I'm moving "stuff" back to the kitchen from the garage. We have an emergency call system for my mom, so when she falls, she can push the button on her necklace, and the whole house loudly alarms with "fur elise", so we know to go looking for her. No more spending an hour on the floor, hollering for help.
I, am not climbing ladders. I am walking, I am breathing. Life is beautiful.
Be safe this New Year
