Well, this week we have definitely experienced "ole man winter" here in the Midwest. We have had rain, sleet, snow and very, very cold temperatures. I will post a couple of pictures that Jack took a couple days ago when the snow was falling. You know it is beautiful to sit in the house and look out at, but if you have to be outside and traveling in it, it is not fun. 
We have been busy with some Christmas parties and get together, which is always fun.
On Thursday, December 12, we went to Craig and Shannon's house to celebrate our oldest grandson's birthday. I can't believe he is 14 years old. He is growing up so fast but is still a very sweet boy.
On Friday, December 12, Jack and I met three of my old co-workers for lunch (Sheila & Doug, Kathi, and Theresa). We had a real nice visit and was so good to see them. Sheila and Doug were in town for some medical tests. They now live in Ft. Worth - she was transferred with FAA a couple of years ago. She would love to get back to the KC area because her children and grandchildren live here. Hopefully one of these days she will get back. Kathi and Theresa still live here and we try to get together every few months to catch up on our lives.
On Saturday, December 13, our neighborhood had its annual ladies' brunch. This year it was hosted by Lisa, Nancy, and Peggy. We had 12 attendees and had a nice time. This is how we catch up with the neighbors that aren't close to us. We only have 19 villas that are sold. So we have a pretty small neighborhood. When all them are build and sold I believe we should around 30. So it is small enough to know all your neighbors.
Jack and I trying to get all our doctor's appointment in before we leave town. So we have had a number of them the last couple weeks. I believe we are done for this time frame.
Yesterday I attended a Christmas luncheon with my old office bunch. We had it downtown at our new Kansas City Power & Light District. This has been a rebuilding of the downtown area and it seems to be doing pretty good despite the economy. It was fun to see everyone but my office workforce is dwindling - as the FAA is consolidating offices and districts. When I retired 3 years ago we would have around 30+ people at our luncheons and yesterday we only had 13 and that included 3 retirees. It is sad to see all this happening.
Tonight we were to see our good friends, DeAnn and Bruce, but they are forecasting freezing rain to start around noon so we decided to cancel and try again next week. Hopefully the weather will improve.
Well, I hope everyone is ready for Christmas as it is approaching fast. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and if you are traveling, stay safe.

The pictures of the snow were real pretty, but glad we are in Florida. We have been hearing a lot about the freezing rain up north there and am glad we do not have to travel in it. Have a very Merrry Christmas and be safe when you head down this way.
The snow is pretty, but we're so thankful we got out of Coffeyville before it snowed there.
Merry, Merry Christmas and may your stockings be full of blessings!
