We accomplished a great deal today: We got Fellette's car started after leaving some lights on overnight [?@#*!]. We then took down the Nativity Scene in freezing weather this morning. Next we chipped and shovelled some ice off the driveway so our son and daughter-in-law don't have a bad fall. It was nice in the shop, warm with the fire, drying and taking apart the nativity stable and drying and storing all the characters for another year.
Speaking of falling, Robert took a tumble due to the icy conditions. They ended up calling an ambulance somewhat later because of the pain. His first ride in an ambulance had a good outcome as after the X-Rays he was told there was nothing broken. Pain pills and get up and move was the doctor's order. He is doing that and appears to be coming around just fine.
In the afternoon Fellette took auntie Myra to the Farm to have a quiet catchup and see all the handiwork that Jeanette has done the last few months. Angela is quite excited as she has a job starting the coming Tuesday.
This morning, sister Moe asked if I was getting excited about the trip yet. I said, yes, and no. I was not quite sure why that is, but upon reflection I believe it is because of the following: Two weeks ago I was basically flat on my back unable to perform normal bodily functions regarding urinating and had been that way for three weeks. [Sorry] Yet now, here we are about to go on another trip-of-a lifetime.
How did that happen? It was almost a miracle to me. It seems as if I am in a time-warp and my mind cannot make that leap, even though I consciously know we are going. Today, as I finished some odds and ends it is beginning to sink in and some level of excitement is building within my strange mind.
Wally and Katrina are with us now, but I forgot how busy young people can be and we hardly see or even hear them. Tomorrow I hope to get some time to go over a few things with Wally regarding this house.

It is coming down early, and it was cold out but we had no choice. Colder yet weather is apparently on the way. Time to go south methinks!
