Welcome to my place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA where the temp is in the low 30s. Though it might be colder than that with the wind chill. I have a lot to be thankful for today as usual. I'm thankful I woke when I did this morning at 4 AM. Some of you might know I was up well past my bedtime last night. I still got up earlier than I expected but what I hoped. I'm thankful for the Bible Study this morning at my friend's church. We had a wonderful study on the birth of Jesus. It was followed by lunch and a presentation by the ADRC called Feet First - Preventing Falls. It was a wonderful presentation. I learned that falls in Wisconsin is the highest incidence of ER calls in the US at 53%. The second highest is motor vehicle accidents at 14%. I'm thankful I got home when I did so I could get the apartment ready for the Round Robin that starts in a few minutes. I thought it was for 6 PM but it's 6:30. My apartment looks pretty festive. I'm thankful for the work I did on Wilderness Challenge this morning before I left for Bible study. Not a lot today, but I still expect to get it finished tomorrow. It's possible if I don't need to do anything else. I'm thankful for the Christmas cards I got in the mail. I received two from family, my brother and my cousin. And two from myLotters @Courtlynn and Tammy. I am so blessed. And to show you how much I'm blessed you can see all the cards I've gotten this year from you and the residents here. Forty-two in all. Okay, that's my day and why I'm thankful. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I love your card display. I am thankful for the Christmas card I got from my Aunt Lana today, and the generous check she put inside it. It was really thoughtful, and very much appreciated.

Thank you. I just added two more to the side of the bookcase. If I get anymore, I don't know where I'll put them. I'm glad you got a card from your Aunt Lana today. It was sweet of her to give you a check with it.

Thank you. I just added two more. It was a fun day. I just got back here from the Round Robin nibbles and treats in the community room. I have more pictures of Christmas trees to download tomorrow. Everyone's apartment was so awesome!
