I gave some thought as to whether I would continue to blog about my gallivanting adventures going forward, just because I thought it might be time to hang in the towel, as they say.
Then, I realized, that the chances of me being able to continue to write and post these blogs at no cost to me, was probably going to come to an end relatively soon. So, I might as well continue to carry on as I have, particularly since this format is a great way to record memories for future enjoyment. So, here we are, starting out 2020 by gallivanting.
We are in Bristol, visiting with our eldest daughter and her family, continuing our Christmas Holiday celebration. Joshua was chomping at the bit, waiting for our arrival, upon which he immediately showed off his Christmas decor.
He is a big snoopy fan, and I had sent down ornaments and this fun light up display in December for his enjoyment, as they were just sitting in a box in my basement. He was thrilled to have them!
After our quick tour, we wasted no time hopping in the car and heading out for some fishing.
The only problem that we encountered was that there were NO FISH to catch! Joshua and I have decided that there must be Snowfish, kind of like snowbirds, that head south to Florida in the winter, because I can assure you, there was absolutely NO evidence of any scaled creatures in our usual fishing spot. Although there were plenty of curious geese, who seemed to be laughing at us for being there.
Since there was no action on the worm front (and Marty had even brought down special worms from Schuylkill County!), Marty had Joshua work on practicing his casting. It took a number of tries, but after awhile he had it pretty much down pat! And he was quite excited about it, for sure.
It just so happens that this guy turned 8 at the end of December, so you know we had to celebrate that monumental event, even if it was a tad bit late. We decided to give up on the fishing and head to Blackbird Bakery to pick up a special cake that we let him pick out.
Technically, he was supposed to be sharing his birthday celebration with his mother, whose birthday was Sunday, but he was delighted to be able to blow out this candles on his own.
And he certainly had a grand time opening his presents.
Honestly, I can't say when I've seen the little guy have so much fun! And there's bound to be even more today!
I'll keep you posted!

That last picture features Snoopy, holding Maracas. When his foot is pressed, he plays "Felice Navidad" while shaking them. Of course, Joshua thought this was just grand!
I'll keep you posted!
I love your posts and would be sorry to see them end, but I guess that's just life.
