Last night I read through a ton of threads. My initial intention was to write a clever Christmas diddy, with rhyme and verse, mentioning some of you with whom I've interacted with. But the list kept growing.

So then I decided to go through and just write the names of everyone who had written something that touched me in some way. But the list kept growing.

That list is now up to 86 people and I started to feel that I was boxing myself in to a position where now...

Hard to believe that that time is almost here again. It's Christmas time here in North Texas, as well as around the world. The workload will be a little less, but it's what comes after work that I look forward to. Mom and I will be at her place Christmas Eve night for dinner and the opening of gifts.

Any advice on which 55+ community is better for an active newly retired couple from the northeast? We like Lake Ashton and Valencia Lake but find the prices of homes at Legacy in Leesburg better.

We love to eat out, the arts, outdoor walks, and safe places to browse . Thanks
