Monday's Weekend Recap...

Two more sleeps!!  Christmas is nearly here!

We went to the farm (Joe's client) on Friday.

I had carrots for the goats and horses.

You will recognize this guy as Prince.

The Ferrier was at the farm so Pistol was alone in the pasture,

having gone first, and was waiting for Doc to return.

I took a video of him running from the gate, waiting for Doc

to be brought back, and then to me for his carrots!

If your sound is on, you can hear me telling him to come back!

He put on quite a show!

We saw cattle on the way out.

No pictures, but our friend, Helen, got to come home from the hospital

on Friday. We went right from the farm to the hospital to get her.

It was still after 6:00 by the time we got her settled back at home,

and Cheryl went to pick up her prescriptions.

Saturday was the memorial service for my friend Shirley's husband

who passed on December 10th.  It was at their house and was 

well attended by those she cares about the most.

When we got home from the memorial service, we had

Mas Verde's Christmas Potluck at the Clubhouse.

I had put au gratin potatoes in the crockpot so they were done

when we got home, changed clothes and away we went. 

We sat at a table with Al and Theresa,

and Eileen and Miguel.

We didn't get to church yesterday because we were meeting

family over at Disney Springs in Orlando for lunch at 11:00.

We always enjoy the food at House of Blues! 

It had been four years since we saw these guys and we hadn't 

met our great-great niece, Maya, yet!

Here is Uncle Joe greeting Lexie...

Dimitri is from Barbados and went to the same

college as Nikki.  Both were there on soccer scholarships

and both are really, really good soccer players.

We asked if Maya was playing soccer yet, and Nikki

responded that she is a good kicker... and Maya had to show us

by kicking the shopping bag her mom held!  Maya is two.

Dimitri, Maya, and Nikki.

These sisters are our great-nieces.  Daughters of Joe's

older brother's oldest son, Lou. Got that?  LOL

Nikki (mom to Maya), Jackie, and Lexie...

The waitress took our picture for us.

We had such a nice time and Dimitri picked up the tab

for everyone.  Not expected and a nice gift for us!

Maya was showing Uncle Joe something.  She was shy

at first but warmed up pretty fast.  Joe looks very much like her Pop-Pop, after all.

We had to say good-bye.  Promises to return soon!! 

When we got home, we both took naps.  Our neighbor, Sharon, popped over with homemade fudge (YUM) and returned a dish I lent to her.  Al and Theresa came by for a visit later. It was good catching up with them. We didn't get to talk much at the potluck on Saturday.

I have a facial scheduled today and after that, my pre-op doctor's appointment with my primary doctor, who has to tell Dr. Bernasek that I am okay for surgery in January.  I also need to get to the grocery for things I still need for Christmas dinner. 

It has been a great weekend, leading up to our Christmas celebration on Wednesday!

Wishing you and yours a lovely week!!

Peace & hugs! God bless!!
