Happy Thanksgiving Week !!

Hello All, Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow! We will be having Dinner here at The Courtyards Dining Room. We will be joined at our table by another couple that we knew before we moved here. The only bad part about Thanksgiving Dinner away from a home cooked dinner is the lack of leftovers. I love a Turkey & Stuffing sandwich with Cranberry sauce the day after. On the plus side we did not have to shop for food, we will not be cooking all day or cleaning up afterwards.
Boy, Christmas is getting pushed earlier & earlier every year. I would not be surprised next year if the stores have their Christmas Trees & Decorations out on Labor Day.

I will be watching some football but with my Giants out of contention for the playoffs, it will be not as interesting for me. My Birthday last week was fine. Thank you for the BDay wishes.

Hi all
Hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving
We decorated in & out yesterday & finished today Christmas decorating
I downsized to a 3 1/2 ft tree ( something I wanted to do for the past few years)it sits
On my window seat & I put it on top of a blanket of snow with the manger & some holiday mini beanie babies, etc
It came out really pretty
So much less work for us.
I decorated the mantel over the fireplace & I did dining room & it all looks very Christmassy. Very happy with it all! Ok going out now with hubby to celebrate my
Birthday! 62 yrs young.
Where did the time go??
Everyone, enjoy your night!

Hey Patsy, Happy Birthday! Just a word of advice. From here on the time goes even faster so enjoy every minute....
We started a bit of decorating but now have to drag the tree & all the deco's from the storage room down the hall. I started writing my cards but have a long ways to go. Judy you are right. After Thanksgiving it becomes a mad rush to get everything done for Christmas. Decorating, Writing cards, Shopping Oh Brother!
As I said in an earlier post. They do decorate the shopping areas here, but I still miss the trimmings on 5th Avenue!!!!

patsy miele kirk

Happy Sunday.
Hey Warren,
Yes 5th ave was a beautiful sight at
Christmas time.
Unfortunately, most things today are not as
Nice as days past.
Making a pan of baked ziti today.

See you all, later & have a great day!

Hello All, This been quite a week. Good & Bad. Giants finally won a game. I came down with something Saturday evening and it only got worse on Sunday. Carol & I were scheduled to offer communion and I had to back off I felt so lousy. Went to the Doctor this morning. They could not pin my problems on any particular thing so they are treating the symptoms. Meclazine for the light headedness, Tylenol for the Headaches, Imodium for the runs and continue with all the medications I am currently taking.

My Daughter and her Husband traveled down to NC where they are having a House built for their retirement in a couple of years. They used to co-own a condo apartment in the same area. It is right on a golf course and the Inter Coastal waterway. They bought the property several years ago. I hope I feel better tomorrow so I can help Carol put the decoration Boxes back in our Storage Room down the hall. We've got the tree and several other decorations up already and Carol set up her table with a village of houses and people.

Hi friends
Warren, hope you feel better soon!
Good luck to your daughter & s.i.l.
On their new home.
Very exciting!
Everyone, have a good day!
Torrential rain here.
Stay dry!!

judy giordano banjany

Hi Everyone,

Finally finished decorating the house

Warren....hope you feel better..could it possibly be the flu, they are saying even if you got the flu shot it may not work with this year's strain.

Patsy, how are you and Gino doing?

Hello All. Still fighting whatever I picked up. Now I am on anti-biotics as well as MucinexDM. Ring the bells. The Giants won!!! Talk about cold. It had been freezing in this part of Florida for a couple of days now. Low 40's and high 30's are not good in Florida Brrrrr!

Hello All, Thanks for the concern about my health. I am feeling a great deal better and we are finally catching up on Holiday preparations. This Sunday, Dec 21 I will be taking part in our Christmas Service here at the Courtyards. It is a non-denominational Christian Service so most can enjoy and participate. We will be reading the Christmas story from the Bible and singing Carols. Happy Chanukah to all our Jewish friends.
