HI all.. back from Dunkirk.. went well.. weather a little scary early in day as about 5 inches fell in morning but did clear.,roads salted & trip home okay

Friend Paul spent most of time with my uncle.. Uncle is in rehab with his knee REMOVED to get rid of strept & staph infections that seem to reoccur every two years or so since his knee replacement 10 years ago.

Uncle Bill was going into one of his “socialistic lapses” as his sons & I name them..(he is a registered GOP but is very anti war as a WW2 vet who just thinks war is wrong.. sign).. so i decided to drop off Paul, & walk dogs, go see my cousin for adjustment etc.. Love my uncle but do not love Obama or this nightmare of a healthcare fiasco

Only took about 8 pix total.. a new record.. enjoyed the lake in winter.. cool sharp breezes, beautiful images of birds in wind, driftwood/snow on shore, dogs frolicking at every turn.

No sleep at uncles. Paul slept upstairs in one of the rooms overlooking the lake. NO vented heat upstairs, just convection, so I jacked it up enough to accommodate the 80 + year old need for warmth.. I was miserably hot downstairs. Kept dogs in the garage.. also heated, as they seem to spread their flea friends there on past visits. Cost for uncle is not a problem as he has a gas well on his property

Hey guess what I am going to do in January (maybe) in addition to getting my Concealed Carry permit? Belly Dancing Classes. each year I try to do some thing new & fun.. as I am still able to walk, move . and I love dancing, I thought this year I might investigate Belly Dancing.. okay, stop laughing! friends in other geographic areas who do this say it is a blast, great exercise & does wonders for their aging bodies -— anyone other than me relate to that one as far as a need? LOL

well, I know nothing about what is available or costs. As I am normally a pauper, cheap is very attractive to me.

need to catch up on thread.. know it is a busy & often stressful season for many..

hugs / love to you all dear friends
