December 2022

And so the year finally drew to an end...   And a very cold month it was to end the year.

Dave and I had a very quiet stay at home month.  Dave continued to work at Honey Baked Ham, and I continued my physical therapy with the worker's comp doctors.  I was finally released to return to full work duty on December 28th, but I never was put back on the schedule and quite honestly will not ever return to Honey Baked again.

On the 3rd, we went to see the Broadway play "Moulin Rouge", at the Eccles Theater.  They brought the TONY award that the play won for Best Musical.  It was so cool to see this particular TONY up close.  It was quite beautiful.  The play had been set to new music, but pretty much followed the original story lines from the movie and original play.  Dave really like it, but I didn't care for the music so much.

On New Year's Eve, we went to see comedian, Bill Engvall, perform his last show.  He was officially retiring and it was a great 2 hour show.  We laughed so much, and had such great seats.  All the material was new, no repeat.  He told stories about his childhood, his wife and marriage, he and his buddies, and being 65 and getting older in life.  Stories that one could relate to an laugh about.  The show was taped, and we will definately watch it, when it is aired on a cable or pay-per-view show.  We found out that a friend, (the one who goes to Cabo alot that we met up with this year), also went.  He called Dave that night, and they laughed about the show all over again.  Before the show we had an early dinner at the Red Inguana Restaurant, a Mexican restaurant.  It was great food.  I haven't been there since I retired from Wells Fargo, and this was Dave's first time.  We both loved it, and left well fed.

On the 12th Dave had to go in for minor out patient surgery.  He has once again been having trouble with his swallowing.  So the surgeon had to go in with a balloon type device and inflate in his throat near his esophagus.  He also scoped the area and removed a couple of small sections that were beign.  After a couple of hours, Dave was OK, and hasn't had a problem since.  He had this procedure a few years back, and so we knew what to expect.  

That closed out our year.  Here's hoping our friends and family had a good year, and have a happy and healthy new year ahead.  And to those friends who are finally taking to leap this coming year into retirement, welcome aboard!!  You're going to love it.  You'll find you're more busier than ever, but it's doing the things YOU want to do.  So just enjoy the ride, but keep busy.  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
