Saturday - December 23

Today would've been my Dad's 100th Birthday..... I would imagine he's partying in heaven with Mom, his family and friends on this big milestone day.....I miss him so much!
 
This picture was taken 6 years ago when Dad was celebrating his 94th.

Well......last night we were at Michael and Brooke's, their 4, along with Philip, Annette, Luke, Maeve and Brooke's parents, Bob and Judy.    Ordered in Roma's and played lots of euchre
 (3, 4 and 5-handed).

During the night, Annette and Blair started in with the flu....ugh!    Sure feel for them and hope it's quick like mine and that no one else gets it as we keep hearing that it is running rampant!
 
This morning, Mark and I drove to Black Mountain and met Paul and Patty for breakfast at Louise's Kitchen - neat old house with great food and so good to see them.    Patty and Mark used to work together and she and Paul retired to Asheville 2 1/2 years ago.

Quiet afternoon - kids took good naps, Mark and I went to 5:00 Mass at Our Lady of the Angels.    The plan had been to go to Michael and Brooke's for goulash prepared by Judy, but with 2 not feeling up to par, we stayed home and Philip picked up our dinner which was delicious and much appreciated.
 
Sunset last night at Lake James
The sky was actually a very deep pink, but this is best I could do with cell phone.
 
Now onto Christmas Eve....
