I Missed Him!
He showed up again around Wes’ only this time the red, white, and blue were abandoned for red and green!
The Christmas Elf says,"Hi to all!”
Sigh! Time Sure Flys!
After a very happy Christmas Eve with children, children’s children, my brother and his significant other, Richard, my friend (and 3rd ‘son’) and of course hubby Jay yesterday was settle down day.
On Christmas Day when others visit with inlaws or watch their kids plow through the wrapping paper Jay and I spend the afternoon with his Aunt Trudy!
Trudy has invited us over for the last five years (since we moved up here from Orion, Mi.) We missed just last year because Richard went into the hospital. Before that we sat at home pretty much alone on Christmas Day. Trudy invites Jay’s counsin Pat, her husband Gene, and their son Patrick also. So some of us who would be alone Christmas Day help others to enjoy that day also.
A nice light dinner, great conversation, and back home before 7pm. The kind of slowing down day old folks need!
Today it is take the pickup, go down to the end of the driveway, and load up the luminaries (milk jugs) to put in the garage before it snows again and buries them. In a couple of days I’ll empty and sift the sand into a plastic bucket, run twine through the handles, hang them from the floor joists in the basement, and throw away what is left of the candles. Jay has already stated that we will save more jugs so we can set them along the road across the front of the property. Good thing we drink or cook with a gallon of milk a week. I can replace a few jug that are a little worse for wear and still increase the number!
So now it is New Years Eve coming up and my eldest will be 43. Time sure flys when you are having fun!!!!
