Decorations Ready for Storage

Following a short trip to Surprise to my Audiologist to have one of my hearing aids sent off for warranty work and a stop at the grocery store, we returned home to take down Christmas and pack everything for storage. It took most of the afternoon for us to gather everything that needed to be packed. Josie did the inside while I took down the outside lights, rolled up all the chords and readied the containers to pack everything. It actually was done in less time than we expected, so we loaded the boxes in the truck for delivery to our storage unit today.

We plan to go to one of Taylor's softball games which is not too far from our storage unit, so we will go to storage at around 1 PM and then follow that with a trip to the ballpark in Glendale. We are anxious to see her game as we hear great things about her talents in softball and it will be exciting to finally watch her play. She has three games scheduled today, the first to begin at 3:15 which is about when we plan to arrive.

Another action on today's schedule is to ride our bikes to try to establish a one mile "track" that we can use to do our walking exercises each day. Without a treadmill being available, it is probably the best solution for us. That way, we can fast-walk the track - twice if we want to do 2 miles - and get the same benefit. There are many options around the resort, so it will be interesting to select one that won't be too boring to walk every day. Maybe, we can discover a couple different routes to break up the views.

We're back to a normal existence without the Christmas lights and Christmas decorations for another year. It's kind of a letdown after enjoying all the cheer during the Christmas season...
