White Christmas.....not....

Hubby had a little end-of-the-year party for work with a dinner cruise on the Port Hacking river Friday night. I really didn't want to go at first. The combination of dining and being on the river on a boat that you couldn't get off,  was very unappealing. I agreed to go eventually, but I had taken my precautions. I had cash, and if it looked like it was going to be windy when we set off, I would just go to the Yacht Club and party with whoever was there and meet up with hubby afterwards. As it happened it was dead calm and great, very beautiful in fact and not at all windy. I was in great company at my table and made new friends.

So tomorrow it is going to be Christmas with no snow, but there will be white wine.... and a barbecue either on the beach or on the terrace, and then we are off on another trip. I'll tell you more about it later on.

I have been a bit slack in writing lately but it has been mainly because of the horrible shootings in the US, and other horrible things happening. There are still so many people out there, mainly in the US, who are very positive to the right of every citizen to carry guns. Some even say that teachers should be allowed to have guns.  When I play Scrabble on line, mainly with US players, I can follow the discussions going on, and many people would never give up their right to own a gun to "protect" their families. So what about the over 30,000 people who die from gunshot wounds in the US  every year! Something has to change!

Have you seen the little cute Oreo cookies that seem to tell us that it is ok, it is not the end of the world,  keep dunking!!!
