Happy New Decade as well as New Year 2020!

December 3 we took the truck to Tempe to buy a Craftsman Radial Table Saw Larry found on Craig's list.   He feels it was the buy of all buys since the fellow didn't really know what he had.  It included several hundred $$$ worth of additional blades and other attachments.   Since it was made in the 60's and belonged to the fellow's grandfather, he didn't know how to set it up correctly.  That was Larry's 'era' so he knew exactly what to do and he is thrilled with it!   Once set up he finished making the finishing edges for the front TV install and it looks even better completely done.

All set up and ready to go

Again we had many doctor/dentist appts. We even went out for breakfast at Cracker Barrel, something we rarely do, because my treadmill appt. was so early.

December 8^th we went to a going away party for friends Mike and Irene who are moving to TX to a much lower altitude as he is on oxygen full time. We have known them 25 years or more and saw them in both AZ and OR where they lived for 10 years, just like us where we had our place in Merrill for 10 years.

We do live out in the desert and we saw four coyotes in the neighbor's driveway.  They were there a good five minutes.  Hopefully you can see them in the picture as it is a ways away.  They were 'singing' much of that time.

We added another great granddaughter to the family Christmas Eve, Anna.  We have not seen her yet.

We had a lovely Christmas with lots of good food, laughs and fun, playing Farkle before going our separate ways. Dawn does a great job of decorating their home and the best present was the wreath she made for us. Once she retires she should make them to sell as all the ones she has made are beautiful!

We ended the year by going to the movies to see “Ford vs Ferrari”. We seldom go the movies but the place was packed and we had to sit in different rows.   Larry enjoyed it thoroughly as he said he felt he was behind the wheel during the many racing scenes.
