Three months since I wrote a post. So here is a few highlights over the last 3 months:
A trip to St. Louis to see the Cardinals play two of the last three games.
Game 2.Visit to the St. Louis Blues Museum. Home to jazz and blues.
Cool restaurant in St. Louis.
Within a week of returning home, we both tested positive for Covid. As well as our youngest grandson. That pretty much took care of October. November brought basketball games for the number 3 grandson. And we attended as many as 5 in three days.
On November 13w e were invited to attend a fundraising event for a local LGBTIA Out Youth organization. It was entitled Glitz. I made my own get-up to wear.
Then came Thanksgiving week at Sis #4's home near Dallas.

Back to Round Rock and time to have another celebration! I am 75 now!
An emotional trip to Missouri (1200 miles round trip) for a very dear friend's funeral took 5 days following the birthday celebration. Such a good human and a loss to all who knew him. Eddie our dear friend
We returned, again, to the little home in Round Rock. Decorating, card completion, mailing, and gifts were now the main focus. Of course, within 10 days of returning from this second trip in two weeks, it was time for Sister Time/Rogers Christmas gathering. What a surprise to have a cousin from California arrive on Thursday evening for an overnight visit. She is the one in the middle in the blue.
Surprises continued when sisters gave me a visit to a concert featuring Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra impersonators. We all really enjoyed that as there were songs familiar from our days of youth sung. In addition, Christmas carols. Another delicious meal followed. A bit of downtown Grapevine, TX, light viewing proved to be the best ending of a very busy day.
The next day found around 35 - 40 relatives gathered for food, visiting, and fun.
The finale was us 4 sisters in our Christmas jammies for a picture. There may have been a flatulent.
It is Christmas Eve. We will shortly head out for another delightful meal with our son, his family, DIL's father and girlfriend. We will return home in time to put up our stockings and wait for Santa.
Wishing everyone a joyous and blessed Christmas and New Year.
Peace,
Janice
