Our (not so) Annual Holiday Letter

12/14/2013

It’s Christmas time again, and Linda and Don want to wish everyone the best of the season. We are thinking of all of you during this special time of year. The weather down here in Texas has been a bit unseasonable (and unreasonable), and that has kept Don from putting out our usual outdoor light display. But if it will be tee-shirt weather this weekend, the decorations will be put up during halftime of some football game.

Inside our home the tree is up and we are fully decorated for the holidays. We are especially proud of our tree which we think perfectly exemplifies our Christmas decorating motif.


Linda has been wanting to go on a cruise to Alaska, so this year Santa will make her wish come true and bring her a trip to America’s last frontier. I am not sure how she is going to get home, but I know she will figure out something. Merry Christmas Girlfriend!

Don’s gift this year is his new-found strength. He started working out at our city fitness center after retirement back in June to keep from becoming a total couch potato. In mid-October he decided he wanted to lift weights, and he engaged a trainer to help him. The focus is on what is known as power lifting which has three components: squat, bench press, and dead lift. The photo below shows Don in his Christmas finery completing a dead lift of 225 pounds which ain’t bad for a septuagenarian! In competition this would equate to a 35 year old lifting over 375 pounds (there’s an actual formula for this).

We hope everyone was fortunate enough to have a fine 2013, and we hope everyone is looking forward to a wonderful new year. We surely are. Have a great holiday!
And we heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

    Goin' places that we've never been,


    Seein' things that we may never see again,


    And we can't wait to get on the road again."
