Merry Christmas from our House to Yours

-2 to 23 to 64

Yesterday when I got up it was -2 (yes that is a minus in front of that 2) today it is 23 and tomorrow the high is suppose to be 64... Welcome to south so I am told. I don't walk when it is that cold but I try and do my Wii Fit. (Exercise) I really miss the walking. I bought a MP3 player and I bundle up and go walking. I walk for about a 1/2 hour all though the neighborhood. I find it amazing that everyone (and I mean everyone) waves as they pass by. Of course I wave back and sometimes I start the wave but still if you were to do that in Ceres you would have the fear of being shot at.

Life here is so much different we miss our friends and family tremulously (especially at this time of the year) but we have a video camera and we were able to hook up at the "Myers Family Christmas" last Sunday and that was fun. We are completely ready for Christmas. It does not look like Alex is going to make it home for Christmas or before he get stationed in England. That is very disappointing. But I have to remember that life goes on as we have....... Have a very Merry Christmas everyone....

Gaylord Opryland Hotel 2008

This is the Gaylord Hotel it is right next to the Grand Ol Opry. This place is HUGE I think it has at least 1100 rooms and is the largest hotel in the world that is under 1 roof. The pictures do not do it justice. It has restaurants, shopping and is completely temperature controlled be it Zero out side or 100 it always is between 68 and 72 degrees... The first picture is of the 3 of us and the very last picture is the outside. The rest of them are inside....

To View this the best way is to click on the picture and after it opens click slideshow on the left side that says slideshow and it should open to full screen and the slideshow will start....

Here is Shelia doing one step of over 2500 using the Wii Fit System. She does this instead of walking. She does not like to walk when it's below 40. Right now it is 5:00pm and it is 27 degrees. Wow you talk about season changes....

Rockettes

WOW!!!
Last night was our trip to the Grand Ole Opry House to see th Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring The Rockettes. It was awesome. It was 2 hours long with a 10 minute intermission. Worth every penny we spent. The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers was amazing. And the final scene. The Living Nativity. The presentation of "The Living Nativity" has been a part of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular since 1933. They had live camels, donkeys and sheep on stage and the costumes were beatuiful. Bree and I have decided that this will become a Christmas Tradition for us.
If you ever get a chance to see it jump on it.
Enjoy your day and be safe. 22 more shopping days till Christmas. Go out there and spend, spend, spend.

Light Dusting

Well our first snow fall. Yippee!!! Bree got up at 7:00 looked out the front room window said "Cool" and went back to bed. She was so impressed. It is now 8:37 the temp is 32 and it is windy and misty rain mixed w/snow. Nothing sticks. I was very impressed with the snow I got up at 6:15, Lee said now he knows how to get me up before 7:00 just tell me it is snowing. He is so funny...NOT!! Tomorrow Bree and I go with our WOW group from church to see the Rocketts. I am so excited. I have always wanted to see them. We still are waiting to hear from TRC about Bree. Once they set up her appt we will let you all know. We hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Tonight is WW OH we don't even want to weigh in. Oh well. It is time to get my butt in gear and start the day I have already done my 30 mins of free step on the WII Fitness and Lee is in doing his so I need to get breakfast started. Bree is resting on the day bed it is really hard sleeping for 10 hours.
Enjoy the day that the Lord has given you and be safe at what ever you do.
