Christmas 2011 is getting closer to being gone for this year. I always look forward to this holiday because it means to me that family could get together and reflect on the good times in our lives.

Unfortunately, the family is spread out and the only two that will get together is us and Jimmy. Jack is in Michigan, Billy in Chicago and Paulie is in Lansing. They have their own family to visit and as it once was where everyone would gather at our house for drink, food, and fun is no longer the case. We are in Florida now but truth be told even if we still lived in Chicago, no one would come anyway. Oh well, the older we get the busier we are I guess and family sometimes falls by the wayside. Maybe next year.

This Christmas we are going by Nancy’s brother Jim for Christmas. He and Donna are spending the winter at Ft. Myers Beach. It looks like it will be a good day.

I am still scooting around on my scooter, unable to put any weight on my foot. I see the doctor this coming Tuesday and I am optimistic that he will say it is ok to walk on it. Al least a little bit. At least that is my Christmas wish.
