Satuday-Sunday, December 16-17

A very fun family weekend and now we are headed to North

Carolina.....checking the forecast for Nebo....wow!    65 tomorrow and 70 Tuesday!     'yeah....

 

Saturday - breakfast with Bob and Linda and then on our way stopping at the cemetery in Sublette and taking off the fall flower basket from Mom and Dad's graves.     Fun afternoon of playing cards (hand 'n foot), good eating and then Mass at 4:30 at St. Patrick's.     There were 93 in attendance this year with at least 4 absent cause of illness.    We had a bountiful feast of  delicious Chicken George, Italian Beef, vegetables, salads, etc., etc.    And then pies and cookies galore.

 

The gift exchange took about 2 hours and then back to the hotel for more games, wine,
gabbing, etc., etc.

Another successful, fun family Christmas celebration!

 

Sunday - Anne, Liam and Connor were up and on their way home around 6:30 as boys had a morning hockey game.    They won 10-1 with Liam scoring 5 goals and Connor, 1 goal.    Sorry we missed this!     Now they have a break from hockey till after the new year.

 

Mark and I slept in, had breakfast and said our good byes.    The day started out very gloomy with some fog, but then a little bit of sunshine, more dreariness, some drizzle off and on and then sun for a short time!

We stopped at Steak 'n Shake in Lebanon, IN for a late lunch and arrived in Cincinnati at 5:30 (eastern time).    Tomorrow.....onto the Nebo kiddies!
