Old Age Day by Day December 26, 2012

Boxing Day!  When we lived in Colorado we used to celebrate this day with friends who were British, and it was fun.  Now I'll celebrate by getting the house back to normal, being mighty pleased with a lovely Christmas Eve and day with family and friends.  We had fun just cooking, watching "Elf" and playing Scrabble.  The food was fabulous, and everyone chipped in and made dishes.  We had a big surprise as our older daughter called from Hawaii and said her boyfriend asked her to marry him and she said yes.  She emailed a photo the a beautiful diamond ring he had made for her.  So our family will be expanding again, and we will be getting to know him better.  He comes with two sons, two parents, siblings etc, so Really expanding.  Our granddaughter called from New York, but she was buzzed up running around with the phone and I can't say I understood much, except she was happy and excited.  We talked to our family in Dublin as well, and that was good. 

It's sunny today and I plan to get out a bit, and maybe see a movie, or if not, walk around.  The holidays are over for me, as I do not do anything for New Year's.  I'm looking forward to seeing friends, a retreat, my daughter and granddaughter visiting and going up to see my best friend after.  The best stuff.
