We had Christmas Eve Day breakfast with some of my old fifth grade pals yesterday morning. It was great to see them and find out what's been going on and how they are planning on spending the holiday.
We saw "Saving Mr. Banks" Sunday night. Wow. Who knew there was such a backstory for not only the making of Mary Poppins, but the author as well.
Enjoying retirement.....yes!

The Book Thief
Yesterday was so much fun. I finished the book, met with my book club and went right to the movie...at a new theater with comfy seats and free popcorn and soda! Whoo hoo!
The book was good and added more dimension to the movie than I would have had without having read it first, but I have to say I liked the movie ending better.
I am now library book-less. I may have to turn to the Nook. :-)

Party Time
It's getting to be that time of year....
Last week we were treated to a wonderful Holiday Party for the Eastampton Seniors at the Boilermakers Union Hall. Local 28 is in our town and they hosted the party, organized by our favorite activities coordinator, Officer Ernie Rogers. Home Depot "elves" were on hand, too, with lots of goodies in their sleigh for us. What a wonderful treat.
Yesterday was the DKG Holiday Dinner. After a somewhat disastrous ride and parking experience, I really enjoyed the Tavistock dinner and Sigma (and guests!) company.
It lasted way later than anticipated so I had to pass Prospectors and Tom right by and meet him at home instead.
I'm ready to dance now ...but it is REALLY cold out!

December already? Wow!
So right now I am in the middle of making SHIP calls to the people I was given today with questions about Medicare. Later I am heading out to a Kindercare location to assist in a Tax Talk for HR Block. Tonight we dance!
Tom headed out to golf (and there's 8-10 inches of snow currently somewhere out west.....!) after his water therapy appointment.
Our latest adventures have included attendance at cousin Beej and Mike's 50th wedding anniversary and Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases in the area of phones and tablets and headphones...oh my. (No, we still haven't gone to the smart phone (dark) side.....!)
The party was a lot of fun and we sat with great people-Kenny and Susie, Roxanne and Craig, and Francine and Bruce.
We saw Delivery Man last night and enjoyed it. We've also seen Thor and Hunger Games-Catching Fire, and About Time. I am looking forward to seeing The Book Thief....but not until I finish reading it! (and probably will go with my book club....if I can wait that long!) [On the subject of book club books, I also read and really enjoyed The Husband's Secret...just sayin']
