Studied Portuguese this morning. Still aiming for my trip to Brazil in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, this evening I’ll have my tickets and can do the visa application.




Sent my mileage log to Ashley.


Took my Mom to the airport.

I got a gate pass and was able to push her wheelchair all the way to the gate. Amen!



After dropping Mom off at the airport, I went to the office to pick up the mail and water my ficus.


Ashley and I got the envelopes labeled, stuffed and sent out. Can’t believe I didn’t get any pictures of the girls! I watched them while Ashley went to the Mac repair store. Still didn’t get it completely squared away.


After Ashley got back, we finished the newsletters and then I went to the Post Office to get them in the mail.


Beautiful colors today.



Went to the UPS store to get a overnight return self addressed envelope for the Brazilian visa.

The application has to be done online.

I’m still waiting for the tickets so I can complete the application.
Here’s the picture I’m going to use.

I’ve been in a conversation with my host this evening. He assures me it will all work out this evening. Hope so.

I’m supposed to go to the Brazilian consolate between 8am and 10am tomorrow. The visa application has to be done on line before that.

Admin duties now.

Worked on my book Quantum Metaphors last night.


Studied Portuguese. Certo!

Super cold day!

Froze the bird bath.

Interesting ice formation in my water bottle in the car.

Working on some Robert Blake poetry. Tyger, Tyger!

Dropped off the Financial Report to my Treausurer.

Released Verbal Surgery -516-
“Hazy Lazy!”

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Uploaded to server. Link on Facebook.

Lots of downloads!

Girls came over to visit.

We went on Safari to Walmart to get groceries.



Nana bought Penelope a medical set. She loved it!

Nana painted Penelope’s finger and toe nails. Beauty! Great bonding experience.

Still plan on writing a section in my book.

Admin duties now.

This afternoon, Kathy, my Mom and I went to Applebee’s to eat. We had a fun conversation.

I thought the material of the lamps was cool.

Printed the labels for the mailout. The printer kept jamming paper. Finally got it to work.

Powerful cold day.

Wolf Super Moon.

Big explosions. Mega firecrackers.
Admin duties now.

Sunday, I wrote another chapter in my book, Quantum Metaphors. They are in essence Story Tim with a therapeutic twist.

Studied Portuguese. Certo!




Went to Westside Baptist Church with my Mom and Kathy.




After church, we went to Always Fresh. Always fun with Penelope!



Our friend, Andy, came over to show us his Tesla on Sunday.

The Tesla was a big hit.

My yard man came by to blow the roof and clean the gutters.


We kept Penelope over night. That usually means I don’t do my admin duties until the next day. So . .

MERRY NEW YEAR! 2018! May it be the best year EVER!

Studied Portuguese. Sim!
