January 1, 2016. Madison, Ms. The New Year.

There is something special about seeing a whole new year in front of you.   The artist probably feels the same when looking at an empty canvas, where mostly you feel exhilarated but part of you is anxious.  But for me, I feel no anxiety about the coming year.   What comes our way will be fine.   Our 2015 was excellent although not easy.  Now we feel that we are in better condition than a year ago, so we are ready to rip into 2016.

Our year started out well today with an early dinner at a restaurant with Christina and the girls.   They came for a visit prior to dinner at 4:00.  And after dinner they took the extra food home from our fridge.  They even took our trash.  This afternoon I organized the freezer and the fridges, did last minute laundry and ran the dishwasher.  My only task now is to unload the dishwasher, before I watch yet another football game.

Both Ken and I are ready for some warmth.  We used to be hardy but not any more.  We are wimps.  Tomorrow we fly to Puerto Vallarta and return March 26.  Ken has enjoyed and benefitted by working around the house this fall, but in Mexico he has no work so we will see how he makes out.  This year I can swim but Ken is not a swimmer and he does not really like to walk.  We are taking a walker for him, checking it on the plane along with our bags.  Tomorrow will be a long day, but here we go.
