New Years 2016-CFBC

Thur.  After breakfast we got some notes on Dad's Drs. and meds.  We watched the FSU and Houston game.  We got Dad's stew ready(bottom middle picture).  While Linda made split pea soup from the Christmas ham.  The weather has been so nice we went down to his fire pit and had s'more's.  We had  Dad's stew that had been slow cooking all day long.  We played cards and the total for the two weeks is Linda 2 and Dad and I 2.  We will play the play off the next two days we only play two of the four hands each day.  As my Dad will say at 10:00 it is 12:00 somewhere.  So we tipped our glasses at 10:00 (bottom right picture) to welcome the New Year.  We all did manage to stay up till 11:00 then all of us went to bed.  I could not sleep so at 11:50 Linda and I got up to see the ball drop in NYC.  From Dad's window we could see the fireworks that were going off in downtown St. Petersburg.

Fri.  Welcome 2016.  My this be a blessed year to all of us.  We went to Skidder's for our breakfast.  Dad ordered one of his three favorite Ham and one pancake which they make him a Mickey pancake. Linda and I shared two pancakes, two eggs and two sausages.  And we all had coffee and water.  When we got home we played cards and so far Dad and I are ahead.  We watched the the Rose Bowl Parade then some football.  We eat here two more days and have plans for more dinners than we have days.  We will have to have them when we come back for Dad's 92 birthday.  For lunch we ate the split pea soup and corn bread. We took  a bike ride to Dunkin Donuts (9mi) had a cold drink and came home.  We played cards and Linda was the overall winner.

Sat.  We baked some cinnamon rolls for breakfast, did some laundry, then packed the car and put the bikes on the car.  After a wonderful two weeks we said goodbye and left for CFBC.  As we were coming to I75 and I275 the traffic came to a stop.  It took us an extra 1/2 hour to get home.  We took the bikes off and got everything out of the car.  Linda did a great job putting everything away.  It was nice to take our shower and go to bed.

Sun.  We got up and it was cold.  Turned the heat on got ready for church.  After church we went to Okewood BBQ and had there rib special.  Then to Walmart and met some Sojourners we have not seen for awhile and had a long talk.  When we got home we ordered some vit. then back to church which Mike and Kathleen came with us.  When we got back to camp we went to see there new unit and a visit to catch up on things.
