2024 Life Logs, Day 364: Dinner with HJSO minus Jonah
Date: Sunday, December 29, 2024
Weather: Overcast with Mist; Temp 53, Low 50 degrees F in Falmouth
Location: At Home on Lakeview Avenue with My Shadow, Falmouth, MA
This morning I visited with my 91 year old friend Olga Mitchell. Olga, Shadow, and I are walking partners, but Olga fell on Christmas Eve and is out of walking commission until she sees a doctor. But we enjoyed a “sitting” morning, eating some of her Czech Christmas bread and drinking coffee. I sure hope she is back in “walking” mode soon.
After coming home and playing ball outside with Shadow, I did a little garden clean up. The weather was so warm that it felt like spring. Of course, that is not the case, but the reprieve from colder weather gave me a chance to do some things that did not get done this fall. Then tonight, Heather, Jed, Sam, and Ollie came over for dinner. Jonah is spending the night with his friend Kaiden, so he was missing in action. We had beef stew and salad with chocolate pudding pie for dessert. The boys bought Shadow a stuffed lobster for Christmas in Boothbay and they brought it over for him tonight. He loved it.
The Goldstones are not going to Vermont for New Year’s as planned. The weather is way too warm for skiing, so the group of Heather’s friends from high school days at St. Paul’s have decided not to gather this year. Tomorrow, I am headed back to New Hampshire to spend some more time with my friend Peppe tomorrow, but I will be back tomorrow evening to spend New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day here at home.
