Friday - December 16

We had breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Mendota and then drove to the nursing home to visit my cousin, Jim and bring him some treats (special kind of popcorn and nutter butters).....All doors were closed and signs up that several residents have the flu and we must wear a mask OR come back another time to visit.   That is what we decided to do....left Jim's treats at front desk and on we went!
 
Next stop was to Dave and Judy (Shmoo's) - Annette's parents for a great visit, zucchini bread and hot tea.    Dave has done so much remodeling of their lovely home in the country - wow!!!   Really beautiful and great craftsmanship!     Hoping we'll see them tomorrow night at family Christmas and that so many others can make it to Dixon - close eye on the winter storm warning for this area.
 
Had lunch at the Ginkgo Tree CafĂ© in downtown Dixon - excellent!    Then spent a nice cozy afternoon in our room as the snow started gently falling.    Sent out a bunch of e-Christmas cards and happy to be out of the elements!
 
Merry Christmas from our family to yours...

The family started trickling in around 2:30 and we had a fun evening in one of the party rooms with plenty of appetizers, wine and then pizza +++ Sue's huge plate of homemade cookies.

We played games and had a great time -  but checking for weather updates for those traveling tonight and tomorrow....
