KDD: A few other things,I forgot but do Recall,and Auld Lang Sein

 In June our good  friend Tina came for a visit from Denver,Her Birthday and our Anniversary we did celebrate,
as well as Birthday's for Alice  and Joycie In August,
Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster we did digest,lol,
and our close friends Keri and Jeff In September came down for the day,
Very late  they did stay
 again,in the pool we did play. 
 
In October we got together  with our friend Adriana and  had a belated Birthday for her too
 and we went  to an end of the World Party  on December  20TH,,that we did do,
,we knew the World wasn't coming to an end, , ,
 Just an more interesting,unique way, to Celebrate Christmas with a friend.
 
Darrell is searching hard  and applying for jobs,has had some interviews hope soon,one he will find
and one last thing
Should  old Acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind,
 Should old acquaintance  be forgot in days of Auld Lang Sein
For Auld Lang Sein My Dear,for Auld Lang Sein,
Here is my  hand my trusty friend ,
    WE'll take a cup of Kindness , here ,In Auld Lang Sein
 in Auld Lang sein......,
 
 

KDD: Happy New Year and Sumized last 10 Months

   

Hello my readers, Its now the New Year ,

Are you surprised to see a post here ?,

on my Blog ,Karen's Corner ?,me too  lol  ,

Resume my writing is one thing I intend to do,

Among other things ,how about you?

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions ?  In the past,I have ,but not this time ,

Hope all is well ,that ,you all are doing fine.

 

I know its been over 6 months since anything has been posted here ,the creativity just wouldn't flow ,

One either has it ,or not ,you know ? lol

 

However,I'd like to summize what has been happening for Darrell & me since the spring ,

yeah ,its been that long , since I posted anything

so this won't be an easy task,  but certainly worth the effort and time ,

will take it line by line.

 

In May our friend Allison moved to Tempe ,a few blocks away from us ,

She likes apartment life ,more independence ,able to take the bus ,

be out on her own,

running erands ,visiting friends ,working from home ,

often ,not alone ,

we often saw her ,we had dinners at her house & she,at our place ,

continued to Broadcast ,do our Desert Cafe show ,select music that suit all our tastes ,

and spanned 3 generations ,

On the ACB Interactive station.

 

We had a housewarming party for her back in May ,

it was a great Day

most of our close friends were there ,including Darrell's Mom and Her Husband Hugh,

All gave her practical gifts and the party she was happy ,that we threw.

 

July and August were difficult for Darrell and I ,

The hotel went through a Pool Rennovation ,the majority of employees unemployed ,Occupancy only 20 %, that is why,

including me ,and I was very part-time,

spent time online,

reading ,doing housework ,running errands and visiting with friends of ours ,

worked very few hours ,

we had lots of rain showers,

very bad dust storms ,that effected my lungs ,made it hard to breathe ,but got through.

 

 On Darrell's Birthday another party we threw.,

This time we had a pool party and barbecue,

the same friends that were there in May but this time included Jeff and Keri too,

Darrell,Jeff,Allison  and Adriana had a Sommersault contest ,we all had fun,

Think Adriana won.

  

It was a wonderful Birthday for Darrell and one he won't forget , special gifts he did receive,

and it was sad when everyone had to leave.

 

 The first weekend in September we celebrated Allison's Birthday by seeing a Movie  and going to an Ethiopian Restaurant, Allison likes that kind of cuisine ,

 Darrell and I did not, but the movie that  we had seen,

we did like, it was called Possession,it was scary but great ,

The film we saw last Month,The Hobbit we  didn't like, had mixed reviews,either one loved it,or did hate,lol.

 

In mid October I saw my little Dougie Dog and had a very nice time,

He recognized me ,excited to see us , squeaked and did whine ,

He is 13 ,hanging in there and doing fine ,

doing pretty good considering his age and that he has cancer ,hearing impaired and losing his sight,

He is totally gray , very white

Unable to go up & down stairs ,barks like a seal ,

when we were there ,

we had a very good meal ,

Kay, made homemade ravioli  and apple pie ,good conversation and the dogs did play ,Joycie ran around with their 2-year old Dog ,Toni,a great way to end the day.

 

WE spent Thanksgiving weekend with Allison and Her folks in the West Valley ,Everyone made a couple  side  dishes and it was a success

we had a ton of food , always so much to digest ,lol

WE sung songs and had good chat ,and Joycie and Bailey played ,while Tuffey the cat ,

Hid and stayed away from the blond giant ,with a name beginning with J ,

and we did a special show ,gratitude songs we did play.

 

Last monthThe School shooting in Connecticut I won't soon forget ,It is all so very sad ,

and the day after ,a difficult day I had ,

Twenty  children ,small ,innocent and sweet,

That December 14 day ,smiling ,laughing ,little hands ,pitter patter of little feet ,

on that cold Winter day ,thinking of Santa , toys they wanted on Christmas day ,playing in the snow,

but,-we all know,how that ,did all go ,The awful Chrime ,we need to help those more with Mental illness ,Gun Laws redefined.

 

 Christmas day I had to work, so Darrell, Allison and her folks we  dined at the Restaurant at the Hotel,an excellent buffet,

had good conversation,delicious  food,wonderful ending to the day.

 

This past year,I am  trying to improve my health.   Also, learning  more phone Aps on my phone,increasing my typing speed

more books I want to read

 connect more with  friends and Family,Hope, a good Year,2013,will be,

What about you?

What are your Goals ,do you have any?,any comments, feedback,do send,

For now ,this is the end.
