December 24, 2025

                It is Christmas Eve and we want to wish you a good morning and happy day. We had another warm day yesterday and we set another record high 82 degrees, the ole record was set back in 1964. We did get a few things done here at the Homestead.

                Let's see if we can review what happened yesterday. I decided early in the morning to go to the Star coffee place for a cup, and on the way back home I stopped at the burrito place and got a breakfast burrito which I cut in half and shared with my favorite wife. I was able to get a short nap before the lady arrived to go through the exercises with my favorite wife.

                We did not do much after the workout other than watch TV, until a friend came and visited for a while. My favorite wife received a gift and some homemade fudge, and it is good! Our friend who has recently retired also gave my favorite wife a cushion that is made for people with sciatic nerve pain. This friend had two of the cushions so the one she had at work was given to my favorite wife. When my favorite wife sat on it, she said it actually felt good and took away pain.

                My favorite wife used the machine that she puts her feet on, and it moves her feet, legs and hips. This helps her not to get stiff and keeps the joints moving as she is sitting on her chair.

                We decide that the Tres needed to be washed so I got my favorite grandson Alex, to come over and help me wash the dog. After the wash job we went to the front yard and again cleaned the leaves out of the yard. As you see in the photo there were again many leaves on the yard.

        The yard once again looks good, after Alex finished using the mower to vacuum it, and I do have a photo.

                The wind would gust and blow the leaves all around. The neighbor's yards are full of those leaves, but we can't do anything about that. Most of the leaves from our trees have fallen. I did see an unusual plant while we were working, I assume it is a weed, and I have a photo.

                I went to the drive through to get some food for supper, and we both enjoyed our supper.

                Today being Christmas Eve our families are supposed to come to our house. We have for many years had snacks to eat and we would open presents on Christmas Eve, we plan to continue that. Then on Christmas Day we would all again be together for a meal and conversations. This year the families will provide the food and do all the cooking as my favorite wife is incapacitated.

I guess I should stop for now, we hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do. Keep your friends and family in your prayers.

Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.
