SHORT SUBJECTS
Well, our six week- extended schedule for Bocce Ball is over. I am already looking forward to next Spring, when we are due to start up again. I really enjoyed the game. I not only learned a new sport (sort of ), but I met a lot of nice people, that I wouldn’t otherwise have known.
I played bridge yesterday, We had a good turnout - four tables. I got better cards and bid, and played them, fairly well. Virginia (our Leader) gave me my $1 entrance fee from a previous session. This was one of the prizes - one you don’t want to get. It was for “Low” score!
Mary took me to Target recently to make my annual Christmas card run. That was a start. You say that I am “early”? This project is labor intensive - as you all know. With about 120 names on my list, the project is overwhelming. So. In the interest of good “time management” (it’s a good thing that I am retired) I have started the process early, and have broken it down to “stages” - Write Christmas Letter; Address envelopes; Sign cards; Stuff envelopes with cards, and letter, and seal; Stamp and “address label” cards; sort into “Local” and “Out of town”, and Mail.
So, when I spread these tasks over the next month - a little each day - it will be manageable and I won’t have that “Holiday Blues” feeling and can relax and enjoy the Season. I hope that you will, too.
