Celebrated the Solstice with friends from our photo club last night. We started a nice fire in one of the enclosed shelters at the local state park, had hot chocolate and snacks with friendly conversation.
It was also a great top off to my Birthday too. One kind lady did ask how old I was. When I answered 74, she said, "I was thinking maybe 65!" What a sweetie...really knows how to make an old, over the hill guy feel good. Wish my aching old bones would have been listening.
Also spent a quiet afternoon watching our favorite Christmas movie, "Die Hard". Nothing like the pitter-patter of automatic weapons fire to get you in the holiday spirit.
I know many of you with be busy with Christmas almost upon us. I wish you and your families the very best of the season and to make it a safe one.
