December 31/2016 

Here we are the last day of the year. The last few hours of 2016. Where does the time go?  As I have been saying for days and months I am so looking forward to a better year this 2017.  

I finally got out of the house for a few hours today and tonight both. I went to see my Dad this morning with my sister. We had a really nice visit, Dad always tells us girls that the days are long in his place. With nothing to do.  I kind of see that now. With all my recoperating I have been kind of locked up too. Yes some by my own choice. Just not ready to face the whole world out there yet. But everyday as I get better I am closer to getting   out there again.  

Tonight I went out again, to Mac’s house for his annual fireworks. He put on a really great show this year. The house was full of people. Parents and kids were everywhere,then the kids all got there boots, snowsuits, toques and mittens on and headed out to the deck and watched the show from outside. They were all so excited it was great to see all the happy little faces they were squealing with excitement as each new fireworks shot up into the night sky,it was like magic to them. So glad we went. Jolee stayed with the ones of us who didn’t want to go outside. Even a few really little ones.  Thanks Mac and Jolee it was fun. 

I did have a little mishap while I was there !!!!!! I brought my friend Brenda with us to Mac’s tonight. After the fireworks I was giving her a tour around the house. We went down stairs and Mac has a room full of moving boxes ( for when and if he moves) anyway I was opening up a closet door and fell back against the boxes and fell in a box. Yup right up to my armpits. The arms that still don’t work to well. With the armpits that still hurt a lot. I was stuck. I couldn’t use my arms to get myself out. And my friend couldn’t pull me out. I was stuck. So Brenda went up stairs to get Jamie to help me.  While she was gone I said really, like really, how do I get myself into these things? I tried to tip over I couldn’t,I tried to roll forward, I tried to stand up, nothing,I was STUCK!!  Finally Jamie came down and before he even tried to help me he started to laugh, that hurt my very brused ego more lol lol he was like what do we do? He knew my arms were no good, so my ” HERO” ripped open the box and I rolled out on my side and stood up…. Yup it was that easy rip the box.  We finished the tour of the house and no one upstairs was any wiser. Thank goodness. 

So to the end of 2016 I say good riddance so glad to be done with you. I am moving on to bigger and better things for 2017.  My wish for everyone is “health” for 2017. Because you don’t  know how lucky you are to have it, until you don’t.. Happy New Year everyone 😘

Beth 😘
