It's late

Break has been going very well for me. First of all this is my new kitty Naomi. She likes the computer just as much as I do. It has been a joy having her in our family. She brings a fresh wave of joy and stress in the household. The joy is when she curls up on the couch with me to watch a movie and when she leaps a few feet in the air like a lemer at the sound of nothing. The stress is when she attacks everything on the bottom end of the Christmas tree. My poor tree has nothing on the bottom of it because everything attacked has been moved up to the top where the cat can't reach. So it's looking a lil unbalanced, so I don't like to look at it much.
Towards the end of last week Elizabeth from the hills came to visit me. Another fresh wave of joy and stress. Just kidding about the stress part, but we shared lots of joy going out to a cuban restaurant where she dared to try yuka (some kind of root) and also dared to ride the roller coaster at Busch Gardens that shoots 90 degrees downward that I have yet been able to ride. She went on with me! That made my day. Another thing she dared to do with me was to play golf. I took her to the driving range and was happy to see my coach there because he gave us a good discount. She never tried golf before and said towards the end that she was very humbled by the sport. We had a good time. I would hit the ball and hear her swing 9 times and finally on the 10th time she hit the ball and it bounced 3 feet in front of her. Oh the joy. But really...she did get the hang of it and did rather well because I wasn't hearing her swing at the air anymore but saw the ball sail through the air. So lets give a hand to all the brave activities she took on without much hesitation.
While she was in town the church had their Christmas program. Two members of the church and I have been working for weeks trying to set up a marionette show for the church. I suggested we do the play "Gifts for Madge and Guy" like the bible school did last year at the dessert banquet. Here is a picture of the marionettes and the stage set up as a little town. The play itself went pretty well and plan on doing a few more performances.


Today it was about 60 degrees. I went to Busch Gardens and people were bundled up like they were going skiing. I just don't understand these Florida people anymore. Here I was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt and wanting to go on water rides. My cousins thought I was coo-coo. Later on we went to Chuch-E-Cheese to my friend Amber's daughter's b-day party. I beat her brother, boyfriend, and cousin in the basketball game they have there. Hurray for the high on the pedestal moments in life. Here is a pic of Amber and me. She has been my buddy since art class in 11th grade.


Merry Christmas everyone! I'm excited =)
