Christmas 2018

   Another Christmas has come and gone.  We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and good company.  Gifts
were exchanged this year.   Sherry got everyone...among other things... LED pocket flashlight/spotlights (mine went in my knitting bag and Jeff took a trip down cellar with his to try out the light right away!!),  I gave her a pair of knee high compression socks that she wanted but in pink and white,  my cousin Ed gave me a pair of crystal candle sticks to add to my glass collection on the piano, and I finally finished another pair of wool socks for him! Jeff's socks aren't quite finished but he's use to that...I think.  Dinner was ham and scalloped potatoes and there was very little leftover after a couple of 'care' packages were made for our guests.  Zoey and Fanny made out like bandits with rawhide chewies!  They have enough to last till Valentine's Day!  (Zoey stole one of Fanny's rawhides and tried to hide it under my bed.  After sitting next to the bed crying for while, Fanny just took a deep breath and crawled under the bed and retrieved it herself!  No dog fight!!)  Jeff had the DVD of 'Logan' running in the TV room on the dvd Sherry gave us while Sherry and I kept running into the parlor to watch parts of 'White Christmas' on my PC.  Family and friends who are no longer with us were remembered, too.  And the fire in the woodstove kept the 3 rooms nice and warm as long as I kept telling Jeff to put wood on it!  Even Zoey was good and there were no 'accidents' on the floors...until after everyone went home!  Now I've got a sink full of dirty dishes and enough desserts left over to have a tea party tomorrow...and the day after. But I've had it and the dishes can wait till tomorrow so...Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!
