Merry Christmas everybody. This is my third Christmas without Bette. It is still hard. I am having a good holiday at Bette’s little sister, Brenda’s and her Son Billy. Billy is not so little any more. I seem to be catching a cold. At least it waited until after Jenny left. We went to the Beach most every day, or we did the giant Flea Market thing and the Mall Xmas shopping routine.
Strange things have been going through my mind this past week. I was just thinking about the time Bette and I painted the ceiling of the kitchen of our first house. Bonnie was able to paint the whole rest of the inside in the time it took me to do that one room. Then there was the time we noticed the kitchen cabinet coming off the wall. It took us several tries with different size lag bolts to secure it back where it belonged. There was the time a leak over the dining room table developed. That took a long time to find and fix, including several holes in walls and the ceiling.
These have not been the fun part of our marriage; they are what I would call the character building times. As working through difficulties, small or large, can be. Bette and I were lucky in that was were able to work out any difficulties we may have had.
On my way down to my vacation I got a phone message waiting for me in Philly saying my new Pickup Truck has arrived. I am looking forward to picking it up when I get back from Vacation. By the way it is a Ford F150 Raptor. I talk about it more on a later posting.
Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and the best to you and yours….
