Well........this has been one short day.....of doing virtually nothing!!!! Yep.......we seem to be ready for the BIG DAY ....Christmas. And so.........we just relaxed.....read, played some lappie games, and did a few other things. I did go out in the misty, cloudy day and put in the new rod that goes into the opening of the hot water heater in the RV. Can't remember the exact name.....but anyway, I put it in....just one more step in the preps of TheHowserHouse for the trip south.
I did put my cooking talents to work this morning and made another batch of those wonderful loaded oatmeal cookies and iced them. Ummmmmm........soooooo damn good!!!!
The 1st Lady got a few things ready to leave in the morning for Hannibal.....where we will meet all of her siblings/spouses, children, grandchildren, and others in the family. For the past few years we have all met the weekend before Christmas at a hotel in Hannibal....close to the family home in Monroe City. As in the past, we will be at the Quality Inn and Suites......a great swimming/spa area which is wonderful for everyone, including the young ones. We just sort of take over the pool room.......by Saturday evening there will probably upwards of 40 of us there.....with everyone bringing snacks, games, and of course, swimming attire. On Sunday, we will have dinner catered for us at the hotel........40+ by that time, a gift exchange, and games for all!! A fun and great weekend for her family!!!!
We will return down here Sunday evening...........don't want to miss "The Amazing Race"!! Of course, the TIVO will be here to record it for us if we don't make it back in time.
And so........tomorrow we will be in Monroe City and I will not access to cyberspace/internet, so no words of wisdom and ramblin' thoughts from me until Saturday. But never fear.........
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
