The Weeks Fly By...
Here it is, December, and I cannot believe it is nearly Christmas!
It's been quite a year. As Steve did in his blog, I'll try to summarize a few of the highlights since my last post, which was last March, the weekend of St. Patrick's Day and Steve's opera.
1. Leah and Walter got married!
If you're a regular reader of the site, you'll already know this. Anyway, welcome to the family Walter H-C Scott!
2. Whatever happened to Summer? It seems as if I didn't really have a summer, though it was great to have Nora and Steve both home. They were busy with their full lives. Steve was an intern with a Michigan Supreme Court Justice and Nora worked at Haggerty Insurance and for the T.C. Beach Bums baseball team.
3. I went through physical therapy for tendonitis. Yes, my body can't take the abuse quite as well as the old days. I dug post holes to finish a fence before Leah's wedding and my arms didn't like it. Thank goodness for cortizone treatments to make the hurt go away!
4. Yes, I'm a complainer, especially compared to Grandfather, who never complains. He went through hip replacement surgery at age eighty something and was back working in his garden within a couple of weeks. I should be so sprite and lively at half his age. Wait! I'm more than half his age. When did that happen?
5. Sometime in August Debbie and I celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary over again for the eighth time. I think we did something fun. But I can't remember.
6. Steve moved into a new apartment, but I didn't help him move in. In fact, I didn't even go down to take him back for the school year; Debbie did. Same story with Nora. Debbie moved her in, too, while I stayed in T.C.
7. I must be getting to be a stick-in-the-mud, because I also cancelled a scheduled trip to L.A. in September for really no reason than I wanted to spend time at the cottage since I couldn't remember where Summer went.
8. The snow is here. What happened to fall? I vaguely remember Nora being home for fall break, but not for very long. Were the colors good then? Or had the leaves fallen? Seems like the colors were good this fall. Or was that last fall? They all blend together after a while.
9. I do remember Thanksgiving. Especially the big screen television at Todd's house. Maybe once the kids are through college and the prices come down I might be able to buy one. Oh, many of us helped rake Grandfather's yard like the old times. But we didn't have beer this time. I wonder why not.
10. I finally got used to writing 2006 on things. But soon I'll have to change to 2007. Boy, adjustment can be hard, especially for a kid from Chicago who never saw the Cubs play in the series. (I'm talking about me, not Steve).
