2018...almost

No long standing traditions around here,
except, hubby usually likes to avoid the noise and hit the sack early

So, this year, I decided to celebrate with a favorite octogenarian neighbor and friend.

Down to her place at about 7:30



First the countdown, from New York, Live on Fox   

And now for the apple cider toast

Happy New Year 

Ok, by the time you read this, it will be

2018 

Living Life

What do you call someone in their 80”s ?   

    I call them amazing. 

  Or, you can call them octogenarian !

 My long time friend is in the hospital and I was so surprised to see her sitting up in bed with her computer on her lap.

                        

she had so much to share about her new excitment reading the Bible. ( especially Paul's writings )                 What a doll !   

then off to visit another octogenarian.

I missed her birthday and since she had spent her 80th birthday in the hospital, I was anxious to know what happened on her 85th.  Well, she said...." just the usual.  We go to the Casino. "

and who drives?  " Olivia.  She is two years older and has had double hip replacement and uses a walker, but she is a terrific driver.

You know how it is when you go to the Senior Center, they just talk about their ailments. We don't. We just eat and have fun. And this year I came home with $$ "  

       My Friend is shy

    

                                            she always serves something good.

                                               A peek into her yard

                       she loves birds.  There is much more to her than a love for animals, but she is Scotish, shy and it has taken a long time to get to know her.  Sometime,  I hope to share more.
