We all waited for a bit of the chill to be burned off this morning before we started on our 'walk'. A one and one half hour forced march led by Gail and Fellette. Jim and I bring up the rear watching out for enemy snipers and protecting the vulnerable and naive ladies leading us.
Back home before lunch which was very robust bean soup and a short respite before we four ventured out again, this time to a movie some 15 minutes away. It was about 20 minutes into the movies when I suspected that's it may be a Horrow Movie. But, I reasoned, it was a Western! That hunch turned into a reality as the movie moved along. I think there were 12 deaths, maybe more, all graphically shown, all by gunshot. The blood and gore was endless. Eventually it became comical and I could not stop laughing. It was wonderful as I achieved another goal today: I watched a horror movie all the way through!
Back home for a bit of a communal quiet time disturbed only by a phone call from the neighbour who advised of water running down our yard towards the front ditch. Wally, is in Maui, Craig was not available so Jeanette and Robert went out and surveyed the situation. It was determined that the irrigation system had sprung a leak and a text to the man, Steve resulted in it being resolved in short order. Thank you neighbour Gwen, daughter Jeanette and son-in law Robert and Steve, the sprinkler man.
Gail and Jim prepared a lovely fondue dinner for us four and it was delightful. We watched the New York festivities, had a cool glass of champagne and toasted each other, put on frilly hats and had goofy time before we called it a night.
Happy New Year.
