Tuesday 12/1

Sorry to have been missing for so long. It certainly is easy to get out of the rhythm. I have been gone for a few days up to my sister's in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to help her with her Christmas decorations. We had a great time and got quite a bit done. She is an absolute nut when it comes to decorating for Christmas...I can't even begin to describe it! We usually go to a differnt city each year to see the Nutcracker Ballet and shop with our daughters. Its become one of our favorite traditions. This year we were going to go to Salt Lake City and stay in Park City but the ballet there was cancelled so we decided to stay home due to the pandemic. Then just two nights ago she texted me that she found a ballet that was still ON and wanted to go. She was so excited and so much did not want the tradition to end I could not say no. So we are going to San Antonio TX. We are flying out on Friday and coming home on Tues. We are staying right on the riverwalk and it should be a good time. The ballet is Saturday. We will spend the rest of our time doing the Riverwalk and other 'touristy' activities. I am sure we will see the Alamo. Shopping and eating out will be in the cards too! We usually do a 'high tea' at a Ritzy hotel but does not seem to be a thing in San Antonio! Hope to do a better job keeping up with my journal here!
