Great Ho Christmas...

After days of frenzy and planning and running around, Christmas happened and happened well. The pile of gifts seemed to grow daily as Christmas neared. Then, along the way was my birthday - which just adds to the whole season of events.

I am now 59 and doing well. If I would have been able to see how I would be doing at 59, looking forward over the past few years since the throat cancer, I would have, and do, love it.

I continue to receive all sorts of Turkey oriented gifts - a curse of being the son of the creator of the modern turkey. You can never have ALL of the possible turkey gift opportunities that can be conceived... Though, I must say that I did receive some great ones this year - those being a turkey boot scraper (seen above) by son Aaron and family, a turkey candle by nephew Michael and family, a dancing turkey from friend Storm, and a turkey picture framed in genuine cactus wood and 'fly' for 'fishing' from Pam.

I did finally see the vascular surgeon about the results of the Ultrasound scan I had done a couple of months ago. He said some rather concerning stuff, but that nothing needed to be done now. He said that we should rescan it in four months and see how its doing. At this point, we don't know if this is something relatively new or has been there for decades.

Due to Christmas schedule, both pool leagues didn't play last week. Tomorrow's league does play, and should be fun, but that's all for this week. Well, no news is not bad news, I guess...

It heated up and rained a couple of days ago melting all the snow, that has been around for a month, or so. Now we have lots of large puddles of 'liquid' snow all over.

We had a great Christmas dinner with Pam's mother, Flora, and sister Birdie and friend Vic. We had another great Prime Rib and Ham dinner with all sorts of great food.

Everybody got great gifts and had big fun. We were all done by early afternoon and it was all downhill from there... Another great celebration here in DaHo...
