Back home

We had a lovely time in Tennessee, relaxing with my parents. We attended a beautiful traditional Christmas Eve service at their Methodist Church, complete with candles for everyone as we sang "Silent Night" at the conclusion of the service.

We opened our stockings and presents on Christmas morning, and enjoyed a turkey dinner together in the afternoon. Then, of course, it was nap time. On Christmas Eve day my brother Roger and family had come to join us and we celebrated Christmas with them and played some board games.

All too soon Dec. 26 came and we packed up the car. When behold what to our wondering eyes should appear, but my sister Lori and her son Richard, so dear!

Lori had driven from Chicago on Christmas night (stopping to sleep at a couple rest stops) so we got a chance to see her before the "changing of the guard" at Mom and Dad's. Lori is now enjoying their company and hospitality. It all worked out very nicely.

Tim and the boys jumped right back into work when we got home. After only a few hours of sleep, they went to a drywall job. Christina, excited for her 18th birthday, had slept a lot in the car and was jumping around most of the time at home, until she went out to enjoy her day with friends.

Today we are having a family party for Christina, so I better get cracking to get the house and food ready. I don't have to be back at work till Wednesday, so I'm really enjoying this nice long break (1 1/2 weeks paid holiday!).

Happy new year to all, hope 2008 is GREAT!!

Till next time,

Suzi
