CHRISTMAS AT NANCY,S

We had a really good time, It was so good to be with her and her family. We had a wonderful meal, I told Deanna mother I raised two good cooks. Nancy and Pam are both wonderful cooks. Pam cooks a big meal every day. It is a blessing to have her well this year. It has been a long time coming. We had Pork pot roast, wild rice, potatoes and carrotts, coconut pie, apple pie and all kinds of other goodies. I fixed some home-made rolls, I almost dumped them getting into the van. They was hot, just out of the oven, had a large towel under them, held them with one arm and the slid, caught them with my hand, two of them was a little smashed, but ate anyway. Better smashed than the whole pan on the ground. I fixed the apple pie with a new recipe I seen on TV. It had red hots in it and fuji apples. It was really good, especially with the wonderful pie crust with a mix I brought all way from California. It makes a differencse.

The kids got so many gifts. Nancy had got them all toe socks, so cute. Kelsey got little pony's and was so excited with everyone she opened. I think she got all of them. There was so many gifts could not keep up with them all. It was a joyous time, just watching the kids with their excitement. Cember, Gabby and Kelsey and Deanna nephew was there.


Bruce always gets a joke pulled on him by his brother Rocky. Every year it happens, so Bruce said he was going to be careful what he said to his brother. I told him the kids use to do Coy and I that way, just to see my face turn red. I was never in for jokes. Also Coy generally pulled one on Tony or James. So they came from a family of pranksters. It was so funny. We all had a good laugh.


It was a wonderful evening, good food and good times. We do not have enough of them these days. Everyone lives to fast and don't stop and smell the roses. Someday the roses will be dried up and fell off the vine. I'm afraid that will not be very long. It is too late to change things when that happens. Not enough Joy in life.





GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
