Christmas Eve 2008
Al and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve in Nashville visiting with Mary Evelyn, Mark and family, Elizabeth and family, and Mother. They say "a picture says a 1000 words" so I will let pictures show what a great time was had by all. Check out the Smilebox and enjoy the fun. Thanks to Mary Evelyn and all her helpers for a lovely brunch! We so enjoyed seeing everyone and being with family for Christmas.

Home for the Holidays

Christmas is over and the the last week was a whirlwind. We drove to Nashville on Tuesday, December 23, to visit Mary Evelyn, our sister-in-law, and family. Visiting from Washington,DC were Elizabeth, our niece, with her husband, Matt, and one year old Alex, whom we saw for the first time. Mark (our nephew) and Amy with Evan and Kate came over on Christmas Eve for brunch and opening gifts. Mother had been driven to Nashville by Mary Evelyn and Elizabeth on Tuesday and spent the night with Mark and family. We then drove with Mother to Bruceton to visit with her for a few days.
Coming back it looks like we drove over 1000 miles. The drive was uneventful but long. Lots of traffic around the metro areas, but not too bad once you left the cities. It's a interesting that thru Tennessee and Kentucky where the speed limit is 70 MPH there is always someone driving faster than you. You drive 70...someone is going by at 85....you drive 80...a car passes you at 90. Must be something in our psyche.
The rain gauge shows 2 inches of rain during the 6 days we were gone...maybe it means we will have a beautiful spring.... and today turns out to be a sunny one, which we could surely use. Time to go outside and play lumberjack with the saw and clean up the yard which has quite a few limbs and twigs scattered around.

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!
The nasty weather may be finally coming to an end. Saturday is supposed to be clear. Might be a nice ride to the racetrack. Pulled a muscle in my shoulder and it pinches when I lift my arm. Have to do everything right-handed. Try it sometime ( I am left-handed). Have most of my selections ready for the races so wish me good luck.
Theresa hung the outside holiday trimmings around the house yesterday and I helped!! The snowmen are up and the wreaths, house looks very nice, ready for the holidays. The best part was the hot chocolate she made when we were finished.!!! Will take pictures when we see some sun!! (Showing picture of snowmen from last year.)
Inside, the house is looking festive. Much greenery with gold and red bows. Picked up some beautiful Yoder Poinsettias sent down from the Canada greenhouse on the truck yesterday. They selected some outstanding specimens for us.. Tree going up tomorrow and the teddy bears are all out quivering with excitement in their Christmas finery. We have so many... they are up and down the stairs, in practically every chair, and the ones who behave best get to sit under the tree. Will include pictures when we finish.
