Mexican Train

Following lunch at Olive Garden and in between laughs, we engaged in a fierce game of Mexican Train.

Worth Avenue Stroll

Eleven walkers braved last night's threatening weather and enjoyed a delightful stroll on Worth Avenue. Along the way we stopped by and briefly shared in a Hanukkah celebration.

 

This evening Jane and I dined at TooJays and walked in Palm Beach.
Santa Claus, apparently knowing I had been naughty, passed by last night without stopping. I've resolved to change my ways and try to smile and be friendly to those who are difficult to like. ---  Last week we saw the movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It is a well made movie which will, no doubt, receive a lot of notice. It is stressful with plenty of scenes most of us wouldn't want to share with family members. I recommend it only very selectively. --- We appreciated Serena's invitation to her seven fishes dinner Christmas Eve ( picture below). It is a tradition with which Jane and I were unfamiliar. Serena's was a very big culinary production.

Beautiful Morning

We had 18 walkers in paradise this morning. We enjoyed Bethesda-by-the-Sea Church garden and The Breakers Hotel.

Dining Out Holiday Party

For our annual Dining Out Group holiday party, Peggy Myers graciously hosted us in her lovely lakeside home Saturday night. Seventeen attended.

Shameless Profilgacy

Having seen six movies in six days (The devil made us do it.) I obviously don't have much time (or the memory) to comment much on them but I'll list them in the order I recommend them. You can click to get information and see comments of others.  War Horse (reviews) was Jane's favorite. The Ides of March (reviews) was my favorite followed closely by The Descendants (reviews). I recommend The Adventures of Tintin (reviews). The technology puts it in a class by itself. The Muppets (reviews) -- Yes, they're back -- is okay if you need more Muppets. And finally, New Year's Eve (reviews) is mildly entertaining but dumb.

Holiday HorseFest

Last Sunday afternoon we attended a really good equestrain event at the Myer Amphitheatre called Holiday HorseFest. I recommend you watch for it next year. Here are a few snaps below:
