The weekend past.

Well the long weekend has past. Spent it with Jacci's family in Conn. Also attending the festivities was her brother Gene's significant other Wendy's family. Only fair since it was held at her house & prepared by her. Altogether there were 19 of us. We ate more than we should and enjoyed a day of feasting, family and new friends.
Jacci, Evan and Lee decided to head back home Thursday night about 9. The trip should have taken just under 3 hrs. With a missed intersection they managed to stretch it to 4 and a half. They laugh now but it's been reported to me that it wasn't pretty in that car at a few choice moments ;~)
I stayed Friday & Saturday to help Gene put laminate flooring in his daughters bedrooms. By the time we finished Sat evening I was to tired to do a long drive & after looking at the weather predictions (Wintry Mix late Sunday) decided to leave on Sunday morn. Woke to the Wintry Mix already upon us so had to delay the departure to 2 pm to make sure the roads were open. This also gave us time to install a fireplace insert.
It was again a 'White Knuckle Ride' back home but that's true of any trip East of here.
When I walked in the house the Christmas tree was up and decorated. I detest Christmas decorations, music, or advertisements before Thanksgiving so Jacci waste no time once the bird is off the table.
Here's to the coming season and to the reason for the season. Let's do for him that has done for us and spread his message as a light to those living in the dark.
Zipidee!!!!!
