Back home and the month of November 2021

Now that we are back home, there is not so much to write about. That's not to say that our home life in North Oxford, MA isn't full of wonder and adventure. Just quite a different type than touring the US in our RV. I have definitely found the wonder in doing the weekly grocery shopping, as my refrigerator is now much larger than the RV's, and I even have an extra refrig in the basement, so I don't need to shop every few days. And, our daily walks are adventurous -- if it is over 30 degrees, and not snowing or raining. I have even started doing Jazzercise with daughter-in-law Aimee, streaming on the big screen TV in our basement room. Much easier that having to drive anywhere to do them. And, Peter takes that opportunity to walk, while I Jazzercise.

There have been a few things worthy of writing about and/or posting photos of.

We took our RV in to the dealer to be winterized and to fix a list of things we noticed on our recent trip. It's a good thing we are not planning on going anywhere, as they have 150 RV's scheduled for this month and next. We are number 75. Fortunately, they did winterize it the day we brought it there, so we don't need to worry about it freezing on their lot.
Lots of doctors and dentist appointments --needing to catch up from our visit. We both got our Covid boosters. I was a bit tired that day, but Peter didn't even notice it. I had a wonderful massage with a new massage therapist, who did very nice deep tissue massaging -- which I really needed after all of the driving we did. I even got my hair trimmed again, with my own stylist, who I like.
We did a Game Day at Claire and Ian's house. It was really nice to spend the afternoon and evening with them. We played some good games.
We also got to visit with Anica, Aaron, Quinn and Owen at their house. Lots of fun, seeing them all in person after being on the road for three months.
Then there was Thanksgiving Day at our condo. What a delight to have everyone here, in person, again. Anica, Tamara, Claire and Scott's families all were able to come. Anica even brought their new puppy. I can't believe how much Adelle has grown and matured. She and Cheyenne really connected, immediately. And Quinn and Savannah did too. That left Owen and Siena to trail along. Anica had brought some craft activities for them all to do. And, they watched the Grinch Who Stole Xmas on Netflix. Dinner was yummy, as usual. Peter was trilled that Scott and Amy brought the turkey. A good day was had by all. And we give thanks.
Finally, we have signed up to be volunteers at Meals on Wheels in the neighboring town of Auburn. So we just went for training. It is about a 1-2 hour route, delivering to about 14 locations. It turns out that the town of Auburn is a very large town, miles-wise. I must say, that when I am at the Auburn Senior Center, from where the meals are served and delivered, I really feel YOUNG. It seems like everyone there is OLD. Oh well, it feels good to be of service to these folks who aren't able to cook for themselves.
