12-25 Merry Christmas


Larry, my favorite Santa
Merry Christmas and Season Greetings. I hope everyone had a great holiday. Yesterday we did our weekly grocery shopping, first we went to HEB and did the majority of our shopping then we went across the street to Walmart where we picked up a spiral ham. This morning I put a relish tray together with cheddar cheese, sweet pickles, ham, salami and dill pickles slices and I put Ritz crackers on a plate. For our Christmas dinner we had ham, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. Today I read and worked out while Larry played with his electronic gadgets. Flo was having a great day and she wanted to go for a walk but I didn't feel like it. Instead of going for a walk I took her outside and picked up her droppings and she kept me company.

We live near Fort Hood which is the largest Army base in the world. Every year the Fort Hood Family Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) group whose mission statement is: "To provide "First Choice" programs and services that contribute to the well-being and quality of life of our Soldiers, Families, retirees, SOS Families, and DoD civilians", puts on a drive through holiday light display called Nature in Lights at the Belton Lake Outdoors Recreation Area (BLORA) (the Army loves acronyms). We waited for it to get dark then we loaded Flo into the car and went to see the lights. This year we had so much rain that Belton Lake is over full so a section of the lights had to be closed, still saw a lot of lights. Some of the displays are the same year after year but some are new and we always enjoy driving through. Feels more like Christmas with all the lights. We had a great Christmas.
