Christmas has now passed. We are moving toward the beginning of a new year. The day of the holiday was moving along quite nicely. Made my stuffed shells for dinner, Katey came over and brought cookies and a loaf of cranberry walnut bread from talented Christina. Shannon had a great time and of course, we watched all her movies.
Because of her visual impairments, the puzzles and matching games Santa brought did not work out and he was disappointed mostly because he did not know really how she was doing and her diminished capacity. Shannon is still the happiest person around and is always thrilled to meet new people to tell them her story. She continues to be the belle of the ball around here always surrounded by her pals and making them smile.
It's the next day. But to continue the saga of Christmas 2023, there was an automotive dilemma. Christmas Eve I was out running around getting some additional foodstuffs for the next day. All went well and I shut the car off after my travels. On the next day after all the eating and presenting was done, we were all going to Andrew's for a visit with him and his family. Hopped in the car and had a difficult time getting it to start. After a couple of shots, I got it going and got everyone in the vehicle. Left the lot but could not get any acceleration out of the motor. Limped to his house, had a subdued time there and limped home with Katey following close behind. Spent the night thinking about this holiday gift and contemplating much dinero for an engine or transmission. Took it to a guy I used before the next day and got a call about 3 hours in. It seems that some manner of critter had chewed the wiring harness causing the poor performance. He fixed it and 175 bucks later, I was back on the road. That may have been my Christmas Miracle.
Now de stressed and Shannon back at her home after 4 days, the holiday for 2023 is in the books. I am glad
all for now
stay safe
