Random pictures

An update: I had my second eye's cataract surgery this morning (12/26). So far everything seems to be as expected. I was amazed after the first eye was done the difference in colors between the first and second eyes -- I think my brother said, "didn't know I was seeing everything with a Harvest Gold tint!" I'm in the in-between time when I don't have very clear vision -- I'm glad that I already had drafted a few blog posts before this started so the rest of this post was written a few days ago...

Some random pictures that probably are not worthy of their own blog post...

Sunset with palm trees (Gracie and the Jee-rage are in the picture too, but kinda hard to see them in the dark)

We helped out with another (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2024/11/5k-walkrun.html) 5K Fun Walk/Run in the park -- this was billed as the "ugly sweater" 5K -- we were at two different corners helping participants stay on course and encouraging as they came by us!

We met some of our fellow Alaska caravan travelers, sister and brother team Peggy and Don, for lunch one day and enjoyed catching up with them!

One of our neighbors had new carpet put on the patio outside their motorhome, so they had a "carpet warming" happy hour one afternoon.

The Uptown Angels (https://www.uptown-angels.com/) came to entertain for our Resident Christmas Party...

Carl loves fruitcake, and they are not always easy to find...

... but he found one this Christmas and is enjoying it.

Freshness date is 5/18/25 -- I think that means that even bacteria don't like fruitcake (says the woman who doesn't like fruitcake!).
