YESTERDAY

I will start with yesterday. 

 

Richard had been to Ashland to pick up Paul and wife and then stopped here to pick us up and we headed for Jacksonville. 

 

We had a great day--a great dinner--great fellowship etc.

 

Amber did the dinner--she was calm and collected--prepared a delicious ham dinner--doesn't get flustered with so many folk around--raising three children prob. helps--they have friends coming and going-

 

We ate our most delicious dinner and then Larry and Linda took us over to Jack and Betty Bransford's house to meet for the first time Sandy and Jay and their 4 little daughters--a lovely family--Sandy is Joe and Linda Fuiten's daughter--Linda is Rose's oldest daughter.  Sandy and Jay work for Joe in the church--very busy and on and on.  A very nice family.  (Rose always raves about them and I can see why--also Sandy is very tiny--looks even smaller than Rose)  So we had a good but short visit--they were about ready to have a turkey dinner.  We hurried back to Ambers due to the fact we were going to have dessert--several different kinds of pie!!!!  Richard's Mom was also there--she is very nice,  Heather was not present because she went to G. Pass to visit her Mom who is in a N.Home--many years--Huntington  Disease--a horrible disease..  Then soon it was time for us to depart.  Larry took Paul and wife to Ashland and then here--he came in and visited--which is always nice.  So we had quite a day.

 

UPS has not arrived yet--what is he bringing I wonder.

 

That was not good for Galena to fall on her head--could have been very serious.

 

Brian, Helen and children--THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CHOCOLATES and the photo of the children..  I have seen Chloe in that white sweater in a picture the other day and that white sweater is so neat--I just love it--and her long hair--and little Everest standing so cute. I wonder if he will ever --when he grows up if he will be as tall as his sister.  Back to the white sweater--I just love it. 

 

Rose called as soon as we ret. home to see for sure that we got to meet and visit a bit with her g.daughter and family and we are glad we did.  They plan to ret. N. today and also they plan to stop to see Rose and Jim. 

 

Lloyd, that putting us on THE NO CALL LIST it is really working--no more mortgage calls.  Thank you much.

 

Let's SEE should we have SMOKED SALMON or should we have HAM for our dinner today.

 

The sun is shining and we do have a bit of snow--not on the driveways--melts immediatly.

 

No UPS yet--wonder what it will be.

 

Oh, I wanted to say that for several years we have heard HAPPY HOLLIDAYS--this year what a difference--back to MERRY CHRISTMAS  --it was really amazing.
