We did look like this once, and we like thinking like this.
Tonight is one of our favorite times of the year, when these
five sibblings get together and celebrate the birth of the
baby Jesus, as we were taught by our parents, by conversation,
food and the giving of gifts.
I am so afraid that Edsel and Margie will not make it, however
we are thankful that they are looking forward to a wonderful
Christmas, as their son Chris, wife Jo and little "Miss Macon"
and her brother Daniel John will arrive on Thursday from
England for the holidays. They will be joined on Christmas by
Mark and family Mike's family. This is the first Christmas with-
out Mike and believe me I know what that means. Christmas
is a hard day.
On another note we here believe Betty has everything decorated
in heaven and Leonard has all the trees flocked. As Merry said
not that they need artificial snow in heaven but the Lord knows
how happy it makes him. I am sure he has a fire in some fireplace.
I am looking forward to a great time tonight. My part of the menu
sliced pork tenderloin roast, shrimp, fried chicken, green beans
and beautiful little green onions, relishes.I wish Joy, Peace,
Health and Happiness to all, today as always. Especially I wish
good days for Edsel and Margie. We love you both dearly.
Don't tell anyone but I will publish a picture of us now later.
