Saturday, December 22, 2007 - Back Home

It was a fun trip on the Serenade of the Seas visiting some of the islands in the Lesser Antilles, West Indies. This is a picture of our ship from the stop in St. Lucia.

Donna and I did a tour of Old San Juan on Friday before we boarded our 5 pm flight from Puerto Rico back home. We spent most of the morning at the El Moro fort.



Today, we are doing a little shopping, having lunch at Napolis Italian restaurant and visiting the grandsons.

Breakfast with Santa - Saturday, December 8, 2007

Donna and I will ride the fire truck to the East Clubhouse for our subdivision. I am Santa and Donna is my Elf helper. The 3 grandsons will be Santa workshop elves.

As I ask the children what they want for Christmas, Donna, Santa's Elf, will make notes to give the parents. I will be at the fire station by 8:30 am and at the clubhouse from 9 am to 1 pm.

It is time for chicken wings and beer again so our Silver Eagles will meet for lunch at Hooter's on FM 1960 at I-45 to enjoy fine food in pleasant surroundings.

Silver Eagles Poem

The second Monday of each month is the day we retired guys have wings and beer at Hooters. We go at 1:15 pm to avoid the lunch hour rush. Many are from our subdivision but we also are joined by area friends.
