I am awake today and able to get up which is progress. But not a bit peppy, aching, sore throat, ear pain, a bit of nausea. I hope tomorrow will see me back to something like normal. Today I hope to get out to the mailbox. I have just put in a hold for the Bill Bryson book you have been reading Anne. Several others are on the list before my turn comes up.
Off to make a cup of tea.
Hugs.

sorry to hear about all the weather woes and problems with family and loved ones.
We have clear weather here with overnight temperatures just below freezing....since it is dry, the roads aren't too slippery. My adventure today is that I get to be the leader (I wont' really be teaching anything") of the high intermediate dance class because the teacher has a terrible cold. After not dancing for 12 days, I'm thrilled to be able to dance again and have the opportunity to choose which dances we'll do. Jake is going to drive me over and help me get set up since it's in a different place from where I teach my Friday class. I am currently listening to the Spenser books by Robert B. Parker. Jake is listening to the same series but he is about six books behind me. He keeps telling me who he thinks is the bad guy and I have to keep a blank face because I've heard the books so recently. On New Year's Eve we'll probably go to bed at our usual 7:30 but no doubt be awakened by the fire works that are usually set off in the open areas near our neighborhood.

Today I've made the most of wet and windy weather to stay home to get on with housework and clearing yet more items ready for either charity shops or the tip. No flooding for me thank goodness but still an awful lot of problems in some parts of the UK so I have a lot to be grateful for.
Barbie ~ So nice to hear from you and see you will be teaching dance again, something I know you love. I do hope your day went well and you had an enjoyable time.
Welcome back Chris we missed you and your serene posts.
Lin ~ Sorry to read you are still suffering what sounds like a horrible bug. Stay in the warm and cuddle up with a good book, warm drinks and something tasty to eat.... you've got to keep your strength up to fight it.
Hello to everyone else.
The late afternoon is so dark here I'm going to have to shut my hens in now and then make a cup of tea before getting on with my chores.

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Little Marcella wants to play.
This morning I awoke to one of the loudest claps of thunder I've every heard. "Good morning, day!"
Looking forward to spending the day doing things inside that need to be done. I'm happy that I decided to do errands yesterday. It's raining now and appears to be the theme for the day. One of my sons is helping a friend move today. I'm so impressed that he was willing to get up and go help in this awful weather.
Lin - Continue to take good care of yourself.
Wishing everyone a blessed day,
Marcella0 -
Rain, rain go to Spain,
And don't come back again!
To quote another ditty!
I hope you like the book Lin. This chap appeals to me because he can see the best and worst in each country. His birth country and his adopted country. It's his description of the fairy tale countryside that had me misty eyed. The U.K. really is a walkers paradise.
Hi everybody, the sun is actually shining at the moment.

Happy Wednesday!! As I was sleeping I guess we had some snow to make the working people's commute a nightmare. I slept in so I didn't see any snow falling and the sun is out now. I am glad it is done so I can go to bingo tonight to wish my friends a happy new year!!
Anne, glad you are enjoying your book and the author, even though it is making you homesick.
Marcella, sorry about your rain, I am ready for summer.
Jackie, your gloomy weather is also sad, but glad to read your strength is coming back.
Barbie, wonderful that you can resume dancing, just take it nice and easy. (Frank Sinatra)
Lin, sorry you are still under the weather, just take it nice and easy. Does everyone now have that song going through their head? Love Frank.
I have been working on getting all on my ten years of photos off my computer onto DVD's.
I just started so I am still in year 2005.
Have a great day!!
Sandy

Excited; kids on the road from airport so we're off to the lobby to greet them.
Buzz 0 -
I'll have to Google nice and easy, Sandy. I was picturing Barbie line dancing to Sinatra!
Having an ache all over day, so giving in to a nap under warm blankets.
Lin, so glad you are mending, plz don't overdo. You even have the awful ear pain that the child had, that's got to be bad.
Marie, we had a delicious vegetable soup for dinner last night. Cooked in the instapot. Much better than my stovetop concoctions. Made a big batch and have 4 cups of broth for seasoning other meals. Win/win!
Barbie, your New Years Eve sounds better and better to me. I may not call my aunt for a visit until the weekend.
Back to my nap

Hi friends. I didn't sleep well last night, my mind kept going and going.i thought I was that durellcell pink bunny.
Got up 6:30 while Mike was shoveling snow again. Made us some oatmeal and 1/2 container of yogurt. Then we went to the club and used the stationary bike and then a short water aroebic work out.
We went to Costco for gas ( nice under 2.00 a gallon). Then went inside got lettuce, kale salad, blueberries and tilapia And Asian salad.
Lunch was Asian salad and tea.
Took a nap a which I usually don't do. Watched TV for a while, called a friend and made dinner. Tilapia, spinach salad, 1/2 baked sweet potato.yum.
So that was a day in my life, enjoy yours.

Almost 2016........Happy new year everyone! It is bone chilling cold here now with our high humidity. Soup weather. Got stuff for a nice dinner tomorrow with John and the old puppies. I got a kick out of Sandy's Sinatra song. I must admit I have less classy taste. I am an old Rock n roller. But Joe Cocker belted out a few love songs. I loved American Bandstand on Saturday mornings. I helped clean up the house while dancing with Dave Clark! That was about 100 years ago.
Tomorrow night's menu isn't low calorie and John is insisting on a piece of the Christmas cake I froze. We will watch the big ball drop on tv and share a glass of bubbly at midnight. We are night owls so we never have a problem seeing the new year in. Our neighborhood wouldn't allow it anyway. Suddenly there are fireworks and, I fear, shoot gun blasts. We live out in country so people feel free to express themselves in a loud juvenile manner.
I have enjoyed getting to know you all this year. It has been lovely to follow the everyday life of this group of Golden Sneakers. You are all truely GOLDEN.

Quite unfortunate that I did not sleep long enough last night. Have lots to do today. My husband and I will enjoy spending some time at a friend's New Year's Eve party this evening. But I think we may come home a little early, have a glass of champagne and get some sleep.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year's Eve to all Golden Sneakers friends.
We have not seen sun in a quite a while and it is getting boring to see the same gloomy skys.
Dinner tonight out at a restaurant and Star Wars tickets. We always bring in the New Year and watch
the ball drop. We will be at Tom's daughter's house this year a little different.
Let us try and get to our goals for 2016 and motivate each other.
It has been a roller coaster ride with all of you this year, but would never change a thing.
I hope you all have a healthy, safe and wonderful New Year.

Happy new years eve to all my friends here.
This us my day today.
Breakfast small apple, 2 rice cakes, better n peanutbutter.
Go to grocery store for chicken.
Cut some fabric for a quilt.
Today is my granddaughters 18th birthday so we ( my daughter, her partner, Mike and I ) are taking her out for lunch.
I have to finish a quilt top today and try to get the quilt finished for my son.
I have to mail out an apron I made for my 2nd son. ( I have 3 sons and 1 daughter ). He has been dieting and lost 45 lbs so far. He cooks lots of veggies and chicken. Fruit for snacks. So I thought I would send him a new apron fir all his cooking healthy.
Have a wonderful day
Chris

I have an ear to ear grin after reading all your posts and seeing the great graphics.....except I wish PHOEBE and LIN were feeling much better. The kids(60 + is still a kid?) arrived, brought a friend who will be joining us at several meals, and it's terrific being together. Glen is losing patience over teaching me to use the iPad he gave me,...except he's also having a few problems with it as it is not his same model and I guess they change..........like Windows! I lost sound again on my laptop. They tell me Microsoft fixed everything in November but you can't prove it with me! Anyway, DS brought me all sorts of gadgets for the iPad so, for instance, all books will be on a separate drive, and other stuff I have to learn!
He is also bringing our TVs up to date with gadgets to watch internet on he TV! Are we ever dinosaurs?
Lovely plans for tonight, and tomorrow we have a noontime buffet and an invitation to new D-I-L's brother's home for turkey dinner. I'll need a whole now size up after this week!
Love to you all, and my wish is we should be right back at this spot next New Year's Eve at this time! In great health!
My Mike sends his best to all of you, says he feels as though he has met each of you! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Buzz 0 -
Buzz your Mike is a darling and so are you. Love you.

I taught another line dance class for my friend today.....this one had easier dances than the one yesterday. I don't get to teach my regular class tomorrow because of the holiday.
We'll be sleeping long before it gets to be midnight PST but we'll wake up in the morning super early and welcome the new year. My word for 2016 will be "alacrity"....that's how I plan to greet each new person and adventure in my life. Barbie 0 -
Barbie Wish I knew what "alacrity" means. i look it up now I know

Love Marie
