We decided to have our Christmas dinner at someones house this year. Since I got the opportunity, we decided to have a menu with something that would remind us of Mom and Dad and our growing up. We started with a good steak. Dad always enjoyed a good piece of meat. Diane provided Pear Salad....Have not had it for quite some time. What a treat. Catherine made another batch of Steam Pudding. I just can't get enough of that stuff!!!
Retired to the Living Room to discuss our next adventure.
Lots of possibilities to go to. The Jury is still out but
we have narrowed it down to a couple. Alaska or maybe
the Mexican Riviera.
Diane brought a great game. She is a master at fun
stuff. Catherine won a marshmellow gun. I ate most
of the bullets.
I won the most useful gift, thanks to Steve. It started the
conversation of guns, which led to disaster for the pocket book.
Right Diane!!
Diane started something on our last Cruise. This is
We had a great time. Not sure if Nancy and Scott miss usJust before the Thanksgiving Holiday, we lost a dear friend and neighbor. Dennis Blackburn left for a bicycle ride in the early evening and never came home. Catherine and I were asked to help with the search. We found him about 5a.m. the following morning off in the brush with his bicycle. It makes us ponder and realize the blessing that are ours, and with that in mind I am posing that which give me the greatest joy......my family.
We went out for our annual Turkey shoot and had a BLAST. Gun wise and entertainment wise. Don't have the pictures to post. Maybe because the trophy was passed from Jacob to Peter. Once again I didn't win!!
Playing in the good weather with the family!!
Family is growing......dog wise.
Not sure where these kids learn to have dogs
in the family...haha.
