Day Three Hundred Fifty Nine

Merry Christmas!


Here's our Mom surrounded by her kids, grand kids, and great grand kids at our annual family Christmas at sister Ann and brother in law Terry Sissom's home. We enjoyed a delicious turkey and ham dinner with loads of tasty casseroles and yummy desserts. The kids opened their gifts and the adults played a fierce game of Dirty Santa. The Beatles Trivial Pursuit was the hot sought after gift, exchanging hands countless times. We ended the evening playing that game which was fun but a lot harder than we thought it would be. Ann and Terry always make everything festive and just right and we always have a great time celebrating our family Christmas there. Thanks again, Ann and Terry, for hosting another great get together! We are all so thankful to be so richly blessed not only with things but with family. We look forward to doing it all over again next year. Missing those who couldn't be with us! Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Dad and Rob! I love you all, and to all a good night!

Day Three Hundred Fifty Five


I made some spiced tea mix on this first day of Winter. The kitchen smelled like oranges, cinnamon, and cloves. The scent of oranges conjures up favorite memories of childhood Christmases, because Santa always put oranges and tangerines in my stocking.
