Days slipping by...

I'm learning the value of the new prescription pill boxes Sharon purchased for this trip. Luckily for me they are about the only way I know what day it is anymore. Seven little chambers, each labeled with the day of the week. As we get deeper into this retirement thing, it not the days that count, but what we learn and do in each of them that counts.


We enjoyed a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday at Sharon's sister's house. The in-laws, who flew in for the week from Michigan were surprised to see us show up. My brother and sister in-law have an elegant home and they both made the holiday celebration very special for all of us. I had the opportunity to take a picture of us just prior to dinner. This is what we looked like before consuming 52.5 lbs of food.





My new muffler should be arriving soon from Oregon. I couldn't find one here so I had to order it direct from Monaco. I'm trying to locate somebody nearby who will install it so we'll be ready to head south in a few weeks. However no one seems interested here so when we get to San Marcos will check around again.

We all made the pilgrimage to the 'Lose Your Shirt' casino in Oklahoma, about 4o miles north of us, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Standing room only greeted us with a lot of folks apparently spending their Christmas club savings a little early.

'Lady Luck" had over-eaten too as she failed to join us on the grambling junket.
