(December 25th, 2022) Another year is almost over and so is another Christmas. The Valice's had a Christmas Eve party that started at Noon which was perfect for us old farts. We were back the next morning to watch the Grand kids open there gifts and then back at the Brown's for an adult version of Christmas which of course included adult beverages!

(December 22nd, 2022) Kathy made an appointment in Reno to get a cortisone shot in her knee so we made a mini vacation of it with a couple of nights at the GSR. By coincidence, Jenna ended up with an overnighter there and we spent a fun day with her at our casino and at the Peppermill where she was staying. Click on photo for more pictures.

(December 15th, 2022) Kathy and Ann had some Christmas shopping to do at the Galleria Mall today so I took advantage of getting a ride back if I walked there. Last days of Fall before old man Winter kicks in! Click on photo for more pictures.

(December 10th, 2022) Mom has licked Covid and I am back at the Brown's. Scarlette has been painting the windows of businesses and homes in Colfax with Xmas designs. Quite talented! Enjoying the warm weather before the cold sets in here in Newcastle. Click on photo for more pictures.

(December 2nd, 2022) Taking care of Mom as she gets over Covid. Most of the care is for her two dogs Muffy and Princess which includes walks. I take Princess to Curtis Park and this baseball field ther is named after a friend of mine as a kid. Steve Paul and Jimmy Bauman were killed when an overhang fell on them at Dillons beach while they were camping. I wonder how many people walking by here know the story or even knew him?
