A New Year-A New Decade

     It's cold here!  And probably is also very cold where you are!  Of course, it's winter, so what can we expect!  They keep saying that it is unusually cold.  I remember it being cold, in houses that had no insulation or cental heat!  Those old timey heaters, that popped, and sometimes smelled like gas, did a good job of keeping us from freezing during cold winters.  It hasn't been so long ago that we were complaining about the heat and lack of rain!  Summer heat will be here before we know it!

    I hope you enjoy my little story with memories of New Years Day in Calvert. 

I was telling my stories to a young medical student last week and I couldn't decided if he was amused or bored!  He acted polite, but his mouth was trying really hard to not smile!  He kept turning away, when his mouth would turn up at the corners.  I wondered if he was trying to be professional!  Maybe they told him he had to be serious!  My doctor had asked me to talk to him while she finished with another patient.  So, I tried to entertain and educate him.  Not like my shy self.  He wasn't talking, so I did!  I thought it might help him some time, just like the dr. helped him by explaining everything from how my heart sounds different to the new computer program that has challenged her. 

   He said he wants to be a Navy doctor, so maybe that will rule out listening to old ladies stories and their health problems in his future career. 

   Check out the groups I have started on Facebook and Yahoo for Calvert, Texas, Calvert High School Trojans alumni, and Brazos Valley Sketchers.  I also added some old photos to the Hearne High School group on Facebook.  I don't know who any of those people are, except Thelma, but, hopefully, someone will know who they are.

   The next Sketch Crawl will be Saturday February 27.  I hope that we can all go out and do this one!  Any suggestions for how to get folks together and where to go?  Spread the word, and, if you aren't in this area, try to do it in your part of the world.  Or, at least, pass the information on to anyone who might be interested.

    This looks like good weather to curl up in front of a fireplace or heater, with some hot soup, or hot chocolate.  Maybe a trip to Cocoamoda in Calvert, with a pot of their hot chocolate, would be nice!

   Hope that 2010 is a great year for you!  Keep warm!
