Shopping Time

My brother Dave is shopping and has some prospects for a new house. Hopefully, he has come across the house he has been looking for, not far from where we live out here by Copper River Country Club.

Lately, we have been having spectacular sunsets so I have been able to enjoy a cigar or two while watching the beautiful cloud formations and colors dance across the southern horizon.

In case any of you have some cigars you would like to donate to the cause, feel free to send them on as they will be smoked with pleasure......better yet, come and smoke a cigar with me.

By the way, I am always open to visitors especially in the afternoons to come chat with me on the patio.

I am feeling better so I can stay up longer while I smoke the cigars and watch the beautiful cloud formations.

In other business.....how do you like them Steelers???!!! They are 8 and 3 and if they can stay healthy we are looking at the playoffs for the black and gold.

Fresno State is once again in a bowl game. When injuries to the team started to cause many key players to be out of action, it looked dismal but Coach Hill was able to motivate the younger guys and has played some excellent football to get to into the bowl.

It seems I will be a Grandpa very soon as Beth's doctor has given her the word that we can expect a new arrival very soon. Now...for a name. Although I have my guesses , I'm not going to spill any beans about the baby's name.

My brother Steve called to say that he thoroughly enjoyed his trip to Fresno and to the west coast and is thinking of coming back after the new year.

The Scholarship Fund has exceeded my expectations and things will be wrapping up around this project soon. Again, thank you to all who reached into their purses to make this dream of mine a reality.

The internet has made Christmas shopping a new adventure. I spent some time looking through catalogs today and despite my mobility problems I am able to shop and get Christmas gifts and Christmas cards going.

We were trying to post some pictures to go with this blog but we haven't quite figured out how to make the merge but we are trying....Stay tuned.

I am serious about the cigars and the visitation. I thoroughly enjoy both. People have asked me "what can we do to help you out?"...now you know the answer...cigars and chatter.

Peace and Health,
Bill
