It Is Now Time To Nap

First things first, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Here are some excellent panoramic views from around the world. The entire family is now gone and this is the first opportunity I have had to get on the computer without interruption. As previously reported the gang started to arrive on the 22nd, then more on the 24th, 25th, and 26th. Christmas was actually celebrated on three different days. The gift swapping seem to be a non stop event and when it was finally over, the feast started. After this Christmas I have made a New Years resolution to lose a little weight, maybe about 175 pounds. "The Madge" out did herself for yet another year, she had to make numerous trips to the supermarket to restock, even though both refrigerators were stuffed with food they seemed to be empty every other day. Being the host and hostess certainly takes it toll, we stayed up with the people that did not have children and while those people were able to sleep in the morning, we were up early with the grandsons. Both Buddy and Caden were practicing being roosters and managed to awaken both Mimi and Pops within of them getting up. Caden made little grunting sounds and Buddy screamed loud enough to peel paint. Now it's time to prepare for our little cruise that happens on Feb 1 but before that "The Madge" has lined up NUMEROUS doctor appointments for me. She was really happy to see that my cholesterol was ONE point too high and suggested to the doctor that I take "Crestor". ONE POINT !!! Madge's is through the roof and here I am just one point out of the normal range so the both of us are now taking medication. I am thinking of REALLY watching what I eat and dropping it back down to MY normal level of 130 now that would really upset her. Nothing really funny happened that I can report without making someone mad at me, but here's a few pictures of our Christmas.
