First Monday of 2016 & Special Times!

First Monday of 2016 and what do we have—a stock market set-back and my Twin Sister is in the hospital with a severe back problem. I talked with Mercy today and she was pleased that her doctors planned to give her a shot later this afternoon. Sure hope that helps and they find out what exactly has caused this pain.

I refigured our finances today and paid some bills I'd let slide to the New Year. Our trip to Spain in May is paid for and the only travel plans afoot is a shot visit to Dr. Cal and Ellie Kendall in Minneapolis to finalize our book, "Peter's Writings".We also learned today that Pat's Sister, Katinka, and her daughter, Bernice are planning a visit here sometime in January. It will be nice to see them again.

Our Hilton Head house is quiet again after a wonderful visit over the holidays. As our grandchildren get older these visits become better and better and 2015 was a very special one.Our neighbors across the street said, "How do you get your entire family to come visit you at Christmas?" I replied that they just seem to enjoy eachother's company and Pat and I are delighted that's the case. Our four adult children are all individuals and quite different from each other, but they seem to enjoy each other and with two of the families living on the west coast, these holidays have become special-times.

​Back to bill-paying and lining up my goals for 2016!
