Today is Christmas Day, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.
Like so many other seniors we in order to be safe have spent the day alone. Correction, we were not alone we spent the day with each other.
The weather was so pretty that we went for a drive, heading west of Fort Worth about 25 miles to the small town of Weatherford. Weatherford is the county seat of Parker county and this is their pretty old courthouse built in the 1880’s.
The town has around sixty of these big old Queen Victorian styled homes. This one is now a Bed and Breakfast.
I thought this house was interesting with its high pitched roof.. It looks like it should be on a farm, but was right near downtown.
Weatherford was the birthplace of the Broadway/movie actress Mary Martin (1913-1990) who played Peter Pan in the original movie. This statue stands in front of their library. There was another one in the town park that went missing years ago, and I guess they are still searching for it. Mary Martin was famous for many roles and in real life was the mother of Larry Hagman who played J.R. the T.V. show Dallas.
I hope that you too had a nice day however you spent it.
We were alone but alone with many others. It was very quiet here today and not much movement.
ReplyDeleteWe spent the day only with our son. My daughter had not gone to her inlaws family in the UK thank goodness. It is a mess at the borders there as you probably have noticed in the news. But she felt sick and couldn't come to us, she is having a Covid test this morning....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tour around this pretty town. I spent the day at a friend's house where we had dinner around a fire pit....outside and distanced.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteYep, Christmas 2020 is behind us and it was the weirdest one ever. We got completely amputated from the viral world due to our Internet being out for 5 full days. Spectrum only came on Sunday (!) by 8:01 to work on it till 9:30 AM and things got all back up and running. We sure can't live without it anymore... Haha but it is sad that for loved ones in other continents you were forced to make do by sending a short message instead of doing a video call.
Both of us went to the Christmas morning Mass and that was it, a quiet day.
You both made a good choice for driving to the nearby historic place with such perfect weather. We had frost at night and it was clear during the day.
Hugs,
Mariette
What A Wonderful Drive - Good On Ya
