Sarasota, FL
Today we crawled out of bed, feeling our age. We are incredibly sore from all those steps we climbed at Myakka State Park! We are both surprised to be feeling this way, because in we did a lot of walking and bicycling at Disney recently. Apparently we used an entirely different set of muscles yesterday. Ouch!
Okay, it is Christmas Day and I’m supposed to be talking about trees and lights and family and all that. That’s just not my family. I’m visiting Mom and it is just another crazy day. We don’t really do anything special for Christmas. Suzie and I do. But Mom really doesn’t. So it is a bit strange for us to not be in our own space right now and having our celebrations. It has been a pleasant morning and we all exchanged a few gifts. I gave Mom a digital picture frame filled with old photos of her mom, dad, and siblings as well as our family too. She seemed to really like it, so I was pleased with that.
Suzie and I do have one Florida Christmas tradition: we go to St. Armands Circle and walk around looking at all the stores which are gussied up for the holidays. We always eat an excellent meal at the China Pavilion. This year it was especially heartwarming because a family with young children had lost their dog. The owner of the restaurant had found the dog and tied it up out front. It was a very moving Christmas moment when the kids discovered their pet was safe, sound and coming home.
