'twas the week before

Christmas!


We can imagine everyone's planning and preparing and baking and shopping and wrapping and ramping it up all around. I'm ready for a nap!

This photo was taken at the grounds of the Mormon temple outside Washington where they do an amazing light festival. One man said they start putting the lights up in August. Now that's planning ahead.

We went there last Saturday with Gerry and Dennis and then came home for dinner. Margaret and her friend Andrew dropped by Sunday after going to Pennsylvania for Andrew's family get-together.

Margaret told us Kathleen graduated, finishing her physician's asst program at Yale. Congratulations! Thats a lotta work! Mary talked to Dan who had a nice long visit in Colorado with Patrick.

Speaking of studies, Joe and Sean are finishing up their first semester exams! They'll be ready for a break.

I'm up at Grandma's and will be heading over to Newark this evening to pick up Annie and Joe! We'll come back to Hightstown for the night before heading north.

Grandma has opted to undergo a procedure next week for a feeding tube. That should help with her weight loss.

She sure appreciates the cards she's gotten. It's a highlight of the week for her.

Only a few more sleeps before Noel. Wishing every one a blessed Christmas. Love from down here!
