We have sunshine and calm air this morning, a contrast from yesterday’s winds, first from the west southwest, then from the north. Joyce and I walked home into a high headwind from our Falkland Islands New Year’s Eve celebration yesterday evening with the neighbors. The Zbindens served cheese fondue and we enjoyed the evening with them.
Friday we drove home from Garland where we had been since Christmas afternoon. We had a pleasant visit with the Wylies. I also spent a night with Kathryn and John and Thursday we drove to Fort Worth to spend some time with Joyce’s uncle and cousin. Uncle Gerald is 99 and they are planning a celebration next October when he turns 100. There was a little too much wind when I was visiting the Thorntons to entice us out for golf. We mostly hung out and waited till it was time to go eat. We did go see War Horse, which was pretty good.
Monday we celebrated Sophia’s birthday, number 3. She got new toys to go with the toys she got for Christmas. The three little Wylie girls are developing nicely. They are challenging in the way that all children that young are, but they really do very well. I was particularly impressed with Vivian. She has a good sense of humer. Maybe I don’t expect that much from a 15-month old.
