Christmas Observation – 2024

As I begin this report, the year is whizzing by, It’s hard to keep up, but I surely will try.

Life is good at The Fairfax, as everyone knows, And dodging scooters and walkers keeps you on your toes.

The staff is so friendly, so smiling, so giving, I can’t wait to get over to assisted living.  (NOT)

Since I’m on my own, the kids pay close attention,I’m afraid if I screw up, I may be in detention.

The girls’ summer visit is always a delight, Ocean City, Harris Crab House were things to excite.

A Sunday barbeque at Paul’s, brought all my kids together, Everything was perfect, even so the weather.

Golf, did I mention golf, you knew that I would,I’m trying to get better, whoa that I could.

Played Casa de Campo and Whistling Straits, Took lessons is Florida on frigid dates.

But I did shoot my age twelve times this year, I’m not getting better, just older, I fear.

Becky, Missy and Paul all retired this Summer, I can’t deny I’m old and that’s a bummer.

So that brings up health, thanks for your concern, I won’t discuss weight or things like heartburn.

For a guy in his eighties, I can’t complain, From spicy food to sugar, I won’t abstain.

Carpal tunnel surgery and trouble with an eye, Are not the kind of things that keep me from being spry.

I’m happy that I can drive, and climb out of the tub, And, of course, most important, I can still swing a club!

I bought a new car, a Beamer no less, But the process of buying is really a mess.

Just talking about it makes me blue, But the jokes about car salesmen are literally true.

Every four years we have an election, It might be less pain to have an infection.

I’m tired of hearing about every picadillo, Let’s go back to commercials on chips and My Pillow.

Now one side is upset, the other is in clover, But the good news for us is thank God, it’s over.

Most important are friends and family, let’s not get far apart, Let’s cherish every moment and keep close to each other’s heart.

This is a special time, one for laughs and good cheer, Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
