Happy Thanksgiving!

 We had a fun time today with Nathan and the Rotterdam crew talking and playing 5000 and Jeopardy.


We ate our third delicious Thanksgiving dinner (Tom is such a good cook!) and relaxed for the day.

We called Tom's sister Amy to catch up with them and see what's been going on. Mary Grace just had her second baby four days ago, which makes the fourth new baby for the Goffs since the year began, a total of 10 grandchildren...and now it turns out Krissy is pregnant (due in May 2021). Sadly, we won't be able to make it to Arkansas for Joshua's December wedding (covid travel not), but we were happy to talk and congratulate him on the impending nuptials and honeymoon.

This photo from last December is so out of date now, right? Just picture four more babies and one new wife to be in the next group shot...anticipated photo op coming soon.

What a great family!

 So here we are at the end of November. The election is over and Joe Biden won. Sadly, the pandemic is still with us and the virus is hitting hard again. We are still staying in and doing our best to stay safe.

I've made 3  Shutterfly calendars so far and am hoping for a better 2021. I've been doing a lot of SHIP counseling during this Open Enrollment time. Other currently ongoing activities are zooming- NJEA virtual Convention, dancing, 5000 and Jeopardy, book clubs, Sigma, DEAR friends, out-laws- and now with tax season looming, HRB classes- and of course lots of TV shows and movies.

Playing 5000 with Nathan in Rotterdam on his birthday was really fun and we're looking forward to doing it again today- Happy Thanksgiving!

Old much?

 I am inspired today by a list of funny sayings for seniors. There were more, but my favorites were:

Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today? I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.

The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble.

Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs?"

Ah! Being young is exciting but being old is comfortable.

May you always have:
Love to share,
Cash to spare,
Tires with air,
And friends who care.
